Oceanographic Instrumentation 2003, University of Hawaii

0302667泰勒：授予马诺阿夏威夷大学的这一合同为购置一台38 kHz深度剖面声学海流剖面仪提供了支持，该剖面仪将安装在基洛莫阿纳号R/V上。 它还支持租赁一台新的数字营养分析仪，可选择购买，用于确定海水样本中铵、硝酸盐、硅酸盐、亚硝酸盐和磷酸盐的浓度水平。 预计这一仪器将用于基洛·莫阿纳号和联合国海洋法办事处的其他研究船，以及不在海上时在夏威夷大学校园的一个实验室中使用。 预计将在租赁期内评估该仪器在船上操作的稳健性及其总体性能，并将结果提供给国家科学基金会和其他海洋学研究人员，以便与现有系统进行相互比较。 这些购置将为海洋科学家在2003年和今后几年的研究提供很大的优势。

0302667TaylorThis award to University Hawaii at Manoa provides support for the acquisition of a 38 kHz, deep-profiling acoustic current profiler to be installed on R/V Kilo Moana. It also supports the lease, with option to purchase, a new, digital nutrient analyzer for determining concentration levels of ammonium, nitrate, silicate, nitrite and phosphate in seawater samples. This instrument is expected to be used on Kilo Moana and other UNOLS research vessels, as well as in a laboratory on the University of Hawaii campus when not at sea. It is expected that the robustness of the instrument for shipboard operation and its overall performance will be evaluated during the lease period, and results provided to NSF and other oceanographic researchers for intercomparison with existing systems. These acquisitions should provide a substantial advantage to marine scientists in their research during 2003 and future years.***
