9701186 Barnes The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) will operate the R/V URRAC'A during 1997 as a general oceanographic vessel in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The URRAC'A is a 96' general research vessel operated by STRI. The vessel is scheduled for 128 operating days in 1997, of which 33 days are in support of NSF-sponsored programs. The ship operates primarily in the coastal waters of the Panama Canal zone, including the Caribbean and Pacific. This vessel is part of a fleet used by the National Science Foundation to support oceanographic research projects. Most oceanographic research projects require highly specialized equipment and extensive support from a ship's crew members. An increasing number of research projects require equipment that must be permanently installed on a ship and for which the ship must be specifically designed. Such 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, and therefore, NSF supports the operation of a variety of vessels specifically dedicated to oceanographic research. These vessels are operated by universities and research institutions around the country.

9701186巴恩斯 史密森热带研究所将在1997年期间操作URRAC 'A号研究船，作为一艘一般海洋学船，支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目。 URRAC 'A是由STRI运营的96'一般研究船。 该船计划在1997年运营128天，其中33天用于支持NSF赞助的计划。 该船主要在巴拿马运河区的沿海沃茨运营，包括加勒比海和太平洋。 这艘船是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋学研究项目的船队的一部分。 大多数海洋学研究项目需要高度专业化的设备和船员的广泛支持。 越来越多的研究项目需要永久安装在船上的设备，并且必须专门设计船舶。 这些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支持专门用于海洋研究的各种船只的运作。 这些船只由全国各地的大学和研究机构运营。
