Ship Operations

罗利夏威夷大学将于1997年运营R/V MOANA WAVE号，作为一艘支持美国国家科学基金会资助的研究项目的一般海洋研究船。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。该船计划停留190天，其中170天用于支持nsf赞助的项目。所有的巡航都在太平洋，其中三艘美国国家安全基金会的巡航在关岛附近。其余的NSF巡航是在夏威夷的支持夏威夷时间序列项目的短持续时间。此外，该船还将为NOAA提供三次短途巡航。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。＊＊＊

9701522 RALEIGH The University of Hawaii will operate the R/V MOANA WAVE in 1997 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 190 days of which 170 are in support of NSF-sponsored programs. All of the cruises are in the Pacific with three NSF cruises in the vicinity of Guam. The remaining NSF cruises are of short duration out of Hawaii in support the Hawaii Time Series project. In addition the vessel will support three short cruises for NOAA. 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. ***
