Ship Operations

迈阿密大学将操作R/Vs ISELIN和CALANUS 1993年，作为支持NSF的一般海洋学船只， 赞助的研究项目。 R/V ISELIN是一艘170英尺的将军级 由迈阿密大学拥有和建造的研究船。 虽然这艘船能够进行世界范围的海洋学研究， 主要是在大西洋。 1993年，它将在东北部工作， 从四月到七月的美国海岸。 ISELIN会做两个 7月在百慕大群岛外巡航，随后在巴哈马群岛进行了两次巡航， 八月和九月在加勒比海。 最后一次巡航将在 十月和十一月在太平洋的加拉帕戈斯群岛附近。 R/V CALANUS是一艘68英尺的通用研究船，由美国海军拥有。 迈阿密大学。 哲水蚤通常会在 佛罗里达短途巡游。 1993年，哲水蚤将进行一系列的 在巴哈马群岛和一个短暂的巡航穿插两个巡航 在墨西哥湾。 这些船只是NSF使用的船队的一部分， 海洋学研究。 大多数海洋学研究需要 高度专业化的设备必须永久安装在 该船舶必须是为之专门设计的船舶。 这 设备还需要训练有素的船员进行维护 和运行 这些船只的运作方式与 一般货物或渔船，因此NSF支持 各种船舶的操作，专门用于 海洋学研究是由大学和 研究机构和全国各地。

The University of Miami will operate the R/Vs ISELIN and CALANUS during 1993 as general oceanographic vessels in support of NSF- sponsored research projects. The R/V ISELIN is a 170' general research vessel owned and constructed by the University of Miami. Although the vessel is capable of world-wide oceanography it sails mainly in the Atlantic. In 1993 it will work off the northeast coast of the U.S. from April until July. The ISELIN will do two cruises off Bermuda in July, followed by two in the Bahamas and Caribbean in August and September. The final cruise will be in October and November off the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific. The R/V CALANUS is a 68' general research vessel owned by the University of Miami. The Calanus normally sails off the coast of Florida on short cruises. In 1993 Calanus will do a series of short cruises interspersed with two cruises in the Bahamas and one in the Gulf of Mexico. These vessels are part of a fleet used by NSF to support oceanographic research. Most oceanographic research requires highly specialized equipment that must be permanently installed on a ship for which the ship must be specifically designed. This equipment also requires highly trained crew members for maintenance and operation. These vessels do not operate in the same manner as general cargo or fishing vessels, therefore NSF supports the operation of a variety of vessels specifically dedicated to oceanographic research that are operated by universities and research institutions and around the country.
