这份授予路易斯安那大学海洋联盟（LUMCON）的合同为R/V Pelican研究船提供了两台声学电流剖面仪的采购支持，该研究船由LUMCON运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）的一部分。这些电流剖面仪安装在船的船体上，与船现有的姿态传感器和数据采集系统集成，将在较浅的水域沿着船的轨迹提供准确的电流数据，补充在较深水域使用的现有系统。这些收购将为海洋科学家在2007年和未来几年使用R/V鹈鹕进行研究提供重要的新共享使用能力。

RabalaisThis award to Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) provides support for the acquisition of two acoustic current profilers for R/V Pelican, a research vessel operated by LUMCON as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). These current profilers, mounted on the vessel's hull and integrated with the vessel's existing attitude sensors and data acquisition system, will provide accurate current data along the track of the vessel in shallower water depths, complementing the existing system used in deeper waters. These acquisitions will provide important new shared-use capability for marine scientists using R/V Pelican in their research during 2007 and future years.
