Oceanographic Instrumentation

9988135 Knox该奖项授予加州大学圣地亚哥分校，将提供用于海洋研究的仪器，供斯克里普斯海洋研究所的海洋数据设施使用，以及用于该机构运营的R/VS Revelle、Melville、New Horizon和Sproul四艘研究船的特定仪器。所有这四艘考察船都是作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分由该大学运营的。将购置的具体仪器包括与电导率-温度-深度(CTD)系统一起使用的两个24位“旋转木马”采样系统、营养分析系统的备件、用于在水下定位仪器的声学“声波传感器”、用于正在进行的环境数据系统的新传感器、船上使用的计算机外围设备以及用于测量水深的回声探测仪传感器。还提供资金以协助为R/V Revelle购买新的多波束回声系统；DURIP方案(国防部)和斯克里普斯研究所的非联邦资金也为此目的提供资金。这里支持的共用仪器将帮助海洋科学家在2000年和未来几年在世界各地的SIO和其他研究船上进行研究。*

9988135KnoxThis award to University of California at San Diego will provide instrumentation for oceanographic research for use by the Oceanographic Data Facility of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, as well as specific instruments for use on the four research vessels operated by the institution, R/Vs Revelle, Melville, New Horizon and Sproul. 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 two 24-position "carousel" sampling systems for use with the conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) system, spare parts for the nutrient analyzer system, an acoustic "pinger" for locating instruments underwater, new sensors for the underway environmental data system, computer peripherals for shipboard use, and echosounder transducers for measuring water depth. Funds are also provided to assist in acquisition of a new multibeam echosounder system for R/V Revelle; funds are also being provided for this purpose by the DURIP program (Department of Defense) and by non-federal funds from Scripps Institution. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies worldwide on SIO and other research vessels during 2000 and future years.***
