Oceanographic Instrumentation, R/V Cape Hatteras

杜克大学/北卡罗来纳大学海洋联盟将购买几件海洋仪器，放入共享设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在R/V好望角号上使用或与R/V一起使用，这是一艘由NSF拥有并由财团运营的科考船。这艘船在1991年期间的大部分运行计划是为了支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目。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：-MicroVAX微型计算机系统、磁盘驱动系统和其他用于船上数据管理的外围设备，这对于实时获取和显示大型数据集是必不可少的，-用于测量水柱中叶绿素和其他光学性质的野外和实验室荧光计，-用于地震勘测的数字数据记录和处理系统的升级，和尼斯金瓶，用于在水柱中的不同深度收集离散的海水样本，上述仪器将提高财团支持NSF赞助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium 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 CAPE HATTERAS, a research vessel owned by the NSF and operated by the Consortium. A substantial 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: -MicroVAX minicomputer system, disk drive system and other peripheral equipment for shipboard data management that is essential for real-time acquisition and display of large data sets, -Field and laboratory fluorometers for measuring chlorophyll and other optical properties in the water column, -upgrades for a digital data recording and processing system used for seismic surveys, and -Niskin bottles for collecting discrete seawater samples at various depths in the water column, The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the Consortium to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
