Oceanographic Instrumentation

该奖项授予加州大学圣地亚哥分校，将为斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的海洋数据设施提供用于海洋研究的仪器，以及该机构运营的四艘研究船上使用的特定仪器，R/ v Revelle, Melville， New Horizon和Sproul。这四艘研究船都是由大学运营的，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。具体的仪器包括船上和实验室使用的计算机和外围设备，电导率-温度-深度（CTD）系统，以及用于测量水深的回声测深收发器和传感器。这里支持的共享使用仪器将协助海洋科学家在1999年和未来几年在SIO和其他研究船上进行全球研究

All four of these research vessels are operated by the university as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specific instrumentation to be acquired includes computers and peripherals for both shipboard and laboratory use, a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) system, and echosounder transceivers and transducers for measuring water depth. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies worldwide on SIO and other research vessels during 1999 and future years.***
