Oceanographic Instrumentation

0514602Willis该奖项授予俄勒冈州立大学，为显著提高该机构和Wecoma号研究船的海洋研究能力提供了仪器，Wecoma号是美国国家科学基金会拥有的船，由俄亥俄州立大学运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该合同支持采购1)升级船的数据采集系统，2)两个新的荧光计，与CTD系统一起使用，以达到全海洋深度，以及3)船体安装的300 kHz(高分辨率)声学海流剖面仪，以补充船的75 kHz单元，用于近水面研究。所有这些都是共享使用功能，所有R/V Wecoma的资助用户都可以使用。这些改进将在2005年和未来几年为海洋科学家带来巨大的好处。

0514602WillisThis award to Oregon State University provides instrumentation to significantly improve the oceanographic research capabilities of the institution and the research vessel Wecoma, an NSF-owned ship operated by OSU as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The award supports acquisition of 1) an upgrade to the ship's data acquisition system, 2) two new fluorometers for use with the CTD system to full ocean depth, and 3) a hull-mounted, 300 kHz (high resolution) acoustic current profiler to complement the vessel's 75 kHz unit for near-surface studies. All of these are shared-use capabilities that are available to all funded users of the R/V Wecoma. These improvements will be of substantial advantage to marine scientists during 2005 and future years.***
