Oceanographic Instrumentation, R/V Cape Hatteras

杜克大学/北卡罗来纳大学海洋学联合会将获得几项海洋仪器，放在共享使用设备池中。该设备被用于或与R/V CAPE HATTERAS一起使用，这是一艘由NSF拥有并由财团运营的研究船。在1991年期间，该船运行计划的很大一部分是为了支持nsf赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高该船和该大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：-MicroVAX微型计算机系统、磁盘驱动器系统和其他用于船上数据管理的外围设备，这些设备对于实时获取和显示大型数据集至关重要；-用于测量水柱中叶绿素和其他光学特性的现场和实验室荧光计；-用于地震调查的数字数据记录和处理系统的升级；和-Niskin瓶，用于在水柱的不同深度收集离散的海水样本。上述仪器将增加财团支持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.
