Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2003

该合同授予位于纽约的哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地球观测站，该观测站提供仪器，以显著提高Maurice Ewing研究船的地球物理调查能力。Maurice Ewing是一艘由LDEO运营的nsf所有的船，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。具体来说，建议支持10个多通道地震反射拖缆部分，一个用于机载地震数据处理的Linux计算机集群，一个RAID数据存储系统，改装10个带有罗盘的MCS拖缆深度控制器，两个DLT磁带驱动器，多波束声纳备件和水温传感器，一个用于培训和质量控制的岸上软件许可证，一个带有发射器的消耗性深海温度仪控制器，一个彩色打印机，以及一个可重复使用的设备。还有一个被动的鲸类动物声学监测系统。这里支持的仪器将提高R/V Ewing进行地球物理和海洋学研究项目的调查能力和可靠性。这些改进将为2003年和今后几年使用该船进行研究的海洋科学家提供实质性的优势

0326107DieboldThis award to Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in the City of New York provides instrumentation to significantly improve the geophysical survey capabilities of the research vessel Maurice Ewing, an NSF-owned ship operated by LDEO as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specifically, support is recommended in for ten multichannel seismic reflection streamer sections, a Linux computer cluster for onboard seismic data processing, a RAID data storage system, refitting ten MCS streamer depth controllers with compasses, two DLT tape drives, multibeam sonar spares and water temperature sensors, a shore-based software license for training and quality control, an expendable bathythermograph controller with launcher, a color printer, and a passive acoustic cetacean monitoring system. The instrumentation supported here will improve survey capabilities and upgrade reliability of R/V Ewing for conducting geophysical and oceanographic research programs. These improvements will be of substantial advantage to marine scientists using the ship in their research during 2003 and future years.***
