Ship Operations

迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋学院和 大气科学公司将运营两艘研究船：R/V ISELIN，与NSF建造的170'通用海洋调查船 资金在1971年;和R/V CALANUS，一个63'研究船建造 1970年，NSF ISELIN能够远洋航行 主要在北大西洋和南大西洋开展业务。 大西洋 CALANUS计划用于近岸沿海 浅沃茨的海洋学。 这些船只是国家科学研究所使用的船队的一部分。 支持海洋学研究项目的基金会。 最 海洋研究项目需要高度专业化 设备和船员的广泛支持。 一个 越来越多的研究项目需要设备， 必须永久性地安装在船上， 必须是专门设计的。 这种设备还需要 训练有素的船员进行维护和操作。 这些 船舶的运作方式与一般货物不同， 渔船，因此，NSF支持一个 各种专门用于海洋研究的船只 research. 这些船只由大学运营， 全国各地的研究机构。

The University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences will operate two research vessels: R/V ISELIN, a 170' general oceanographic vessel constructed with NSF funds in 1971; and R/V CALANUS, a 63' research vessel constructed by the NSF in 1970. The ISELIN is capable of ocean-going operations and operates primarily in the North Atlantic and South Atlantic. The CALANUS is intended for near-shore coastal oceanography in shallow waters. These vessels are part of a fleet used by the National Science Foundation to support oceanographic research projects. Most oceanographic research projects require highly specialized equipment and extensive support from a ship's crew members. An increasing number of research projects require equipment that must be permanently installed on a ship and for which the ship must be specifically designed. Such equipment also requires highly trained crew members for maintenance and operation. These vessels do not operate in the same manner as general cargo or fishing vessels, and therefore, NSF supports the operation of a variety of vessels specifically dedicated to oceanographic research. These vessels are operated by universities and research institutions around the country.
