Next Generation Surface Buoy for the Bermuda Testbed Mooring Facility

这份授予加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的合同将支持开发和制造一个新的水面浮标，以支持百慕大试验台系泊，这是一个向美国各地的学术研究人员开放的深海设施，用于测试海洋仪器，并维护百慕大附近马尾藻海地区物理、化学和生物特性的时间序列测量。新设计将改善系泊部署和回收的操作和安全性，并扩展仪器部署的能力。预计新设计将适用于其他环境中的类似系泊，并且这里的设计开发将有助于提高未来其他研究系泊的能力。***

9987884DickeyThis award to University of California Santa Barbara will support the development and fabrication of a new surface buoy to support the Bermuda Testbed Mooring, a deep ocean facility open to academic researchers throughout the US for testing oceanographic instrumentation and maintaining time-series measurements of physical, chemical and biological properties in the Sargasso Sea region near Bermuda. The new design will improve handling and safety in deployment and recovery of the mooring, as well as expand capabilities for instrument deployments. It is anticipated that the new design will be applicable for use on similar moorings in other environments, and that the design development here will help improve capabilities for other research moorings in the future.***
