Improved Meterological Measurements for the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) Fleet

许多国家需要更准确的气象数据， 计划作为世界海洋环流一部分的研究工作 该实验将于1992年开始进行实地实验。 虽然许多传感器是商业上可获得的，但它们的准确性不高。 船只和浮标的校准直到 最近 在PI的初始赠款中完成的工作（OCE-87- 09614）量化了某些浮标的性能特征， 船舶传感器，以及PI和制造商之间的合作 这些传感器的改进。 开发数据 还完成了适用于任何传感器的记录系统 并授权给商业制造商。 改进的传感器 该系统被称为IMET，即改进的气象学。 这笔赠款 为最近的最后文件提供资金， 开发了IMET传感器系统。 本文档将允许 其他海洋学社区安装和维护 各种研究船上的IMET系统。

More accurate meteorological data is required for many of the research efforts planned as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), which will begin field experiments in 1992. Although many sensors are available commercially, their accuracy and calibration for ships and buoys had not been tested until recently. Work completed in an initial grant to the PI's (OCE-87- 09614) quantified the performance characteristics of some buoy and ship sensors, and cooperation between the PI's and manufacturers resulted in improvements to these sensors. Development of a data logging system that is applicable to any sensor was also completed and licensed to a commercial manufacturer. The improved sensor system is known as IMET, for Improved METeorological. This grant provides funding for the final documentation of the recently developed IMET sensor system. This documentation will allow the rest of the oceanographic community to install and maintain the IMET system on a variety of research vessels.
