Oceanographic Instrumentation

0711550煤这个奖项给加州的圣何塞州立大学，为莫斯兰丁海洋实验室经营的R/V Point Sur上使用的海洋仪器的采购提供支持。 具体而言，建议提供支助，以获得一个船上卫星通信系统，包括陀螺稳定的1米跟踪天线，以便与联合国后勤处研究船上的HiSeasNet系统协调，进行Ku波段因特网通信。 该合同还包括购买三个荧光计的资金，用于正在进行的数据采集系统和降低车辆或电导深度温度（CTD）仪器。 这些共享使用的仪器采购提高了研究船的能力，预计在2007年和未来几年，大多数使用R/V Point Sur的研究人员将在他们的研究中使用。

Specifically, support is recommended to acquire a shipboard satellite communication system, including gyro-stabilized 1-meter tracking antenna, to allow Ku-band Internet communication in coordination with the HiSeasNet system on UNOLS research vessels. The award also includes funds to acquire three fluorometers for use in the underway data acquisition system and lowered on vehicles or conductivity-depth-temperature (CTD) instruments. These shared-use instrument acquisitions improve the capabilities of the research vessel, and are expected to be used by most researchers using R/V Point Sur in their research during 2007 and future years.***
