Maintenance of Database of Research Ship Schedules

计划中的研究船巡航和船舶的计算机数据库 信息和联系将保持为一个多国 研究船经营者联合会。 除了NSF 海军研究办公室将提供资金支持 （美国）以及加拿大、日本、 荷兰和英国。 数据库将包括信息 对于长度超过40米的研究船， 本年度和未来的邮轮， 提供资料。 该数据库将广泛提供 通过在线电子访问。 它将允许研究巡航， 以船名、国家、地点和港口日期识别 电话、工作区域、科学学科和首席科学家。 它 还将提供一份行动联系人名单， 每艘船的科学特性。 该系统应有助于 优化研究船的使用时间。

A computer database of planned research ship cruises and ship information and contacts will be maintained for a multi-nation consortium of research ship operators. In addition to NSF support, funding will be supplied the Office of Naval Research (U.S.) and marine science agencies in Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, and the U.K. The database will include information for research ships that are over 40m in length and will cover cruises for the current year and for as far into the future as information is provided. The database will be widely available by on-line electronic access. It will allow research cruises to be identified by ship name, country, places and dates of port calls, working area, science discipline, and chief scientist. It will also provide a list of operational contacts and physical and scientific characteristics for each ship. The system should help optimize the use of research ship time.
