Oceanographic Instrumentation 2007

[0710980] willis这份授予俄勒冈州立大学的合同为研究船Wecoma提供仪器，这是一艘由俄勒冈州立大学运营的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。该合同支持为该船的科学回声探测仪采购一种新的换能器，并提供ku波段船载卫星通信系统，该系统将允许使用UNOLS HiSeasNet系统从海上接入互联网。该系统通过卫星提供高速访问，大大改善了海上科学家可获得的科学和技术信息，并为岸上人员提供了与现场同事更密切的联系。这种共享使用能力将提供给R/V Wecoma的所有资助用户，并将在2007年和未来几年为海洋科学家提供实质性的优势。

0710980WillisThis award to Oregon State University provides instrumentation for use on 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 a new transducer for the vessel's scientific echo sounder, and it provides a Ku-band shipboard satellite communication system that will allow use of the UNOLS HiSeasNet system for Internet access from sea. This system offers high speed access via satellite, significantly improving scientific and technical information available to scientists at sea, as well as offering shore-based personnel much closer contact with their colleagues in the fieldThis shared-use capability will be available to all funded users of the R/V Wecoma, and will provide a substantial advantage to marine scientists during 2007 and future years.
