Oceanographic Instrumentation

夏威夷大学的夏威夷地球物理研究所将购置几件海洋仪器，放在一个共用设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在该机构运营的MOANA WAVE研究船上使用或与之配合使用。1989年期间，这些船运行计划的很大一部分是为了支持nsf赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高舰船和机构支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：-铯束频率标准，以提高精确导航能力；-数字重力仪升级，用于检测地球引力场的变化；-测量质量的LORAN无线电导航接收机，-一对用于海洋绞车的双通道滑环，还有一个大画幅的数字化平板电脑，用来记录海底测深图和其他海底地图。夏威夷大学为购买这一设备提供了相当大的费用分摊。上述仪器将增加研究所支持nsf资助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Hawaii Institute of Geophysics at the University of Hawaii 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 research vessel MOANA WAVE that the institution operates. A substantial part of the ships' operating schedule during 1989 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ships and of the institution to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -A Cesium beam frequency standard to enhance precision navigation capabilities, -a digital gravity meter upgrade for detecting variations in the earth's gravitational field, -a survey quality LORAN radionavigation receiver, -a pair of two-channel slip rings for the oceanographic winch, and -a large format digitizing tablet for transcribing bathymetric and other maps of the seafloor. The University of Hawaii is providing considerable cost sharing for acquiring this equipment. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the Institution to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
