Development of an Integrated Multi-Disciplinary Sensing System for the R/V Roger Revelle

9413959 Pinkel该合同将提供资金，用于在目前正在建造的AGOR 24(R/V Roger Revelle)研究船上开发和安装两个多学科研究系统。第一个将是SeaSoar系统，它将被购买和改装，以最大限度地提高生物、化学和物理海洋采样的能力。它将能够以3公里的水平和大约1米的垂直分辨率对海洋顶部400米进行剖面图。该系统将用于测量荧光和其他生物示踪剂，对生物的物理强迫，以及各种海洋环境中浮游生物的微到中尺度模式和动力学。第二个系统将是多尺度多普勒声纳(MSDS)。该系统将被开发为提供目前商业系统所不具备的采样能力。它将由一对嵌套的远程(60千赫)和高分辨率(160千赫)声纳组成。该系统将用于研究深海浮游动物种群、浮游生物垂直迁移、岛屿上升流过程、锋面水文和水团对流。这些系统将在R/V Roger Revelle上提供，供调查人员采购联索政治处的船期。加州大学圣地亚哥分校将为该项目提供配套资金，该项目由学术研究基础设施项目支持。***

9413959 Pinkel This award will provide funding to develop and install two multidisciplinary research systems on the AGOR 24 (R/V Roger Revelle) research vessel, currently under construction. The first will be a SeaSoar system which will purchased and modified to maximize capabilities for biologic, chemical and physical oceanographic sampling. It will be able to profile the top 400 m of the sea with 3 km horizontal and about 1 m vertical resolution. The system will be used to measure fluorescence and other biological tracers, physical forcing on organisms, and micro- to meso-scale patterns and dynamics of plankton in various marine environments. The second system will be a Multi Scale Doppler Sonar (MSDS). This system will be developed to provide sampling capabilities not currently available in commercial systems. It will consist of a nested pair of long range (60 kHZ) and high resolution (160 kHz) sonars. This system will be used for studies of deep zooplankton populations, plankton vertical migration, island upwelling processes, frontal hydrography and water mass convection. These systems will be available on the R/V Roger Revelle for investigators procuring UNOLS ship-time. The University of California, San Diego will provide matching funds for this project, which is supported under the Academic Research Infrastructure program. ***
