Oceanographic Instrumentation

阿拉斯加大学海洋科学研究所将购买几件海洋仪器，放入共享设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在R/V Alpha Helix上使用或与R/V Alpha Helix关联使用，R/V Alpha Helix是一艘由NSF拥有并由大学运营的研究船。在1989年期间，这艘船的很大一部分运行计划是为了支持NSF赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高该船和该机构支持研究和工程活动的能力。该仪器包括：-用于访问和管理海上和海上大型数据集的SUN工作站和其他外围计算机设备岸上实验室，-用于增加共享使用、海上计算和通信能力的微型计算机和相关设备，-用于显示海底剖面和其他数据的X-Y绘图仪，-尼斯金瓶，用于在水柱的不同深度收集离散的海水样本，以及-几个精密的深海反转温度计。上述工具将提高该组织支持NSF赞助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of Alaska will acquire several items of oceanographic instrumentation to be placed in a pool of shared use equipment. This equipment is maintained for use on or in association with the R/V ALPHA HELIX, a research vessel owned by the NSF and operated by the University. A substantial part of the ship's operating schedule during 1989 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the institution to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -A SUN work station and other peripheral computer equipment for accessing and managing large data sets at sea and at the shore-based laboratory, -Microcomputer and associated equipment for increasing shared-use, sea-going computing and communications capabilities, -X-Y Plotter for display of seafloor profiles and other data, -Niskin bottles for collecting discrete seawater samples at various depths in the water column, and -several precision, deep-sea reversing thermometers. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the organization to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
