0528847 Bonner This project will develop two aquatic particle sensors, test anti-fouling materials, and develop sensor deployment systems and integrated sensor network technology to characterize particles in shallow embayments and other near-shore environments. Both particle sensors will employ flow cytometry principles. The first sensor will be more sophisticated and will provide counts, sizes, and size distributions. It also will discriminate between organic and inorganic particles, abiotic and biotic particles, and live and dead biotic particles. The second sensor will be a less expensive particle-size analyzer. The team of investigators will develop an innovative approach to minimize the biofouling problem that has plagued past efforts to maintain observing systems in highly productive subtropical waters. A robotic system that autonomously lowers the profiler into the water and removes it from the water for cleaning after each set of measurements may provide a simple solution to an important problem.

0528847邦纳该项目将开发两个水生颗粒传感器，测试防污材料，并开发传感器部署系统和集成传感器网络技术，以表征浅水湾和其他近岸环境中的颗粒。这两种颗粒传感器都将采用流式细胞术原理。第一个传感器将更加复杂，将提供计数、大小和大小分布。它还将区分有机和无机颗粒，非生物和生物颗粒，以及活的和死的生物颗粒。第二个传感器将是一种价格较低的粒度分析仪。研究小组将开发一种创新的方法，以最大限度地减少生物污损问题，该问题过去一直困扰着在高生产力的亚热带水域维持观测系统的努力。机器人系统自动将剖面仪放入水中，并在每组测量后将其从水中取出进行清理，这可能为一个重要问题提供一个简单的解决方案。
