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 a GPS unit for vessel attitude monitoring, a thermosalinograph, sixteen computers for shipboard use, two new CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) systems with carousels for water sampling, three conductivity/temperature/pump sets for use with the CTDs, three new oxygen sensors, upgrades for autotitrator systems, and new cable and fairing for the towed, undulating vehicle system. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies worldwide on SIO and other research vessels during 2002 and future years.***
