1999 Oceanographic Instrumentation

授予罗得岛大学的这项合同将为海洋学研究提供仪器，供R/V奋进号使用，R/V奋进号是该大学海洋学研究生院运营的一艘研究船，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是一个绞车，以支持在1998年国家科学基金支助下购置的用于海洋学和生物测量的拖曳式起伏传感器。 此外，本奖项还包括支持用于物理和化学海洋学研究的海水取样瓶。这里支助的共用仪器将协助海洋科学家在1999年和今后几年进行研究，特别是在西北大西洋进行研究。

FreitagThis award to University of Rhode Island will provide instrumentation for oceanographic research for use on R/V Endeavor, a research vessel operated by the university's Graduate School of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specific instrumentation to be acquired is a winch to support a towed, undulating sensor package acquired with 1998 NSF support for oceanographic and biological measurements. In addition, the present award includes support for bottles for sampling sea water for physical and chemical oceanographic research. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies, particularly in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, in 1999 and future years.***
