Center for Ultraviolet Radiation Research at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology

该项目将提供设备，使夏威夷海洋生物研究所成为热带海洋环境中紫外线辐射的多样化研究中心。一个关于海洋紫外线辐射的国际研讨会(1994年8月)得出的结论是，HIMB在这方面的研究历史及其亚热带位置使其成为美国或世界上建立这样一个中心最合乎逻辑的地点。扫描光谱辐射计将允许在实验室和野外精确测量辐射。紫外光敏感/可见波长遥控电视将允许视觉感知和测量海洋动物感官世界的部分，而人类对此一无所知。将鼓励参观者使用这些设施，该领域的几位主要调查人员也有明确的参与计划。

Project Summary This project will provide equipment to enable the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology to serve as a center for diverse research on UV radiation in the tropical marine environment. An international workshop on UV radiation in the sea (Aug., 1994) concluded that HIMB's history of such research and its sub-tropical location make it the most logical site in the U.S.A., or the world, for such a center. A scanning spectroradiometer will allow precision measurement of radiation in the laboratory and the field. A UV- sensitive/visible wavelength remote controlled television will allow visual perception and measurement of portions of the sensory world of marine animals of which humans are dismally unaware. Visitors will be encouraged to use these facilities and several leading investigators in the field have firm plans for participation.
