Ship Operations

RALEIGH夏威夷大学将于1996年将R/V MOANA WAVE作为一艘一般海洋学船来支持美国国家科学基金会资助的研究项目。MOANA WAVE是美国海军拥有的一艘210英尺的研究船，作为联合国驻联合国特派团的船只运营，支持学术研究。该船计划在美国停留174天，其中116天用于支持nsf支持的项目。一个NSF巡航是在南太平洋附近的萨摩亚，其余的是在夏威夷的短时间内支持夏威夷时间序列项目。此外，这艘船还将为美国国家海洋和大气管理局、海军和夏威夷州提供巡航服务。MOANA WAVE是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋学研究的学术船队的一部分。大多数海洋学研究需要高度专业化的设备，这些设备必须永久安装在船上，并且该船必须专门设计。该设备还需要训练有素的机组人员进行维护和操作。这些船只的运作方式与普通货船或渔船不同，因此，NSF支持由全国各地的大学和研究机构运营的各种专门用于海洋学研究的船只的运作。＊＊＊

9625682 RALEIGH The University of Hawaii will operate the R/V MOANA WAVE in 1996 as a general oceanographic vessel in support of NSF-funded research projects. The MOANA WAVE is a 210' research vessel owned by the U.S. Navy and operated as a UNOLS vessel in support of academic research. The ship is scheduled for 174 days of which 116 are in support of NSF-supported programs. One NSF cruise is in the south Pacific near Samoa, the remaining are of short duration out of Hawaii in support the Hawaii Time Series project. In addition the vessel will support cruises for NOAA, Navy and the State of Hawaii. The MOANA WAVE is part of the academic 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 around the country. ***
