Oceanographic Instrumentation

南加州大学将获得几项海洋仪器，放在一个共享使用设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在大学拥有和运营的研究船上使用或与R/V VICKERS一起使用。1991年这艘船的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大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：-用于实时采集和显示大型数据集的船上数据管理系统的航海计算机、磁盘驱动系统和其他外围设备；-CTD系统，用于获取海水电导率和温度随深度的详细剖面；-Rosette采样器，带有Niskin瓶，用于收集水柱中不同深度的离散海水样本。上述仪器将提高大学支持nsf资助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The University of Southern California 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 VICKERS, a research vessel owned and operated by the University. A part of the ship's operating schedule during 1991 is in support of NSF- sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the University to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -Seagoing computer, disk drive system and other peripheral equipment for a shipboard data management system that is essential for real-time acquisition and display of large data sets, -CTD system for obtaining detailed profiles of seawater conductivity and temperature as a function of depth, and a -Rosette sampler with Niskin bottles for collecting discrete seawater samples at various depths in the water column. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the University to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
