Oceanographic Instrumentation, R/V Cape Hatteras

小行星9731732 授予杜克大学的这项合同将为海洋学研究提供仪器，供R/V Cape Hatteras号研究船使用，该研究船由杜克大学-北卡罗来纳州联合会运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 需要购置的具体仪器包括：用于CTD系统测量海水特性的荧光计、高度计和透射计传感器、用于水取样的尼斯金瓶、用于多取样器底部取样器的管架、用于在航水分析系统的除泡器和用于底部取样的重力取样器。 这里支助的共用仪器将协助海洋科学家在1998年和今后几年从大西洋西部的哈特拉斯角研究船进行研究，主要是沿着美国的大西洋中部海岸。

9731732 Ustach This award to Duke University will provide instrumentation for oceanographic research for use on R/V Cape Hatteras, a research vessel operated by the Duke-University of North Carolina Consortium as part of the University-National Oceanographic laboratory System research fleet. Specific instruments to be acquired include fluorometer, altimeter and transmissometer sensors for use with the CTD system for measuring sea water properties, Niskin bottles for sampling water, tube holders for use with the multi-corer bottom sampler, a debubbler for use in the underway water analysis system, and a gravity corer for bottom sampling. The shared- use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies from R/V Cape Hatteras in the western Atlantic Ocean, principally along the central Atlantic cost of the United States, in the 1998 and in future years.
