This Major Research Instrumentation award to University of Washington supports the development of a fiber optic back scatter instrument, FOBS-2, which will be used for research in near-bottom sediment transport. The instrument will provide closely spaced, accurate measurements of suspended sediment concentration near the bottom in high energy, near-shore environments, providing a significant improvement over existing capabilities. The present award will support system design, fabrication of two instruments, and testing in both laboratory and field settings. The instrument design will be made available to other researchers, and University of Washington will also build instruments for other research groups.

华盛顿大学获得的主要研究仪器奖支持光纤后向散射仪器FOBS-2的开发，该仪器将用于近海底沉积物运输的研究。该仪器将在高能近岸环境中对靠近海底的悬浮沉积物浓度进行紧密间隔的精确测量，对现有能力进行重大改进。目前的合同将支持系统设计，制造两种仪器，并在实验室和现场进行测试。该仪器的设计将提供给其他研究人员，华盛顿大学也将为其他研究小组制造仪器。
