Oceanographic Instrumentation

9820268 Goad授予密歇根大学的这一奖项将为五大湖研究提供仪器，供R/V Laurentian使用，这是一艘由五大湖和水生科学中心运营的研究船，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包括一个备用CTD水下装置和有关的pH值、压力和海底位置传感器，以及一个用于测量太阳辐射的船上传感器和一个用于操作侧扫声纳的便携式绞车。这里支助的共用仪器将协助科学家在1999年和今后几年在五大湖进行研究。

9820268GoadThis award to University of Michigan will provide instrumentation for Great Lakes research for use on R/V Laurentian, a research vessel operated by the Center for Great Lakes and Aquatic Sciences as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specific instrumentation to be acquired includes a spare CTD underwater unit and associated sensors for pH, pressure and bottom location, as well as a shipboard sensor for measuring solar radiation and a portable winch for operating a side-scan sonar. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist scientists to conduct research in the Great Lakes in 1999 and future years.***
