Oceanographic Instrumentation

南加州大学将购买几件海洋仪器，放在一个共享设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在R/V Vickers号上使用或与R/V Vickers号关联使用，R/V Vickers是一艘由大学拥有和运营的研究船。这艘船在1991年期间的运行时间表的一部分是为了支持NSF赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高该船和大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。该仪器包括：-海上计算机，用于船上数据管理系统的磁盘驱动系统和其他外围设备，该数据管理系统对于实时采集和显示大型数据集是必不可少的，-CTD系统，用于获得作为深度函数的海水电导率和温度的详细轮廓，以及尼斯金瓶采样器，用于采集水柱中不同深度的离散海水样品。上述仪器将提高大学支持国家科学基金会赞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.
