Oceanographic Instrumentation R/V Cape Hatteras

杜克大学获得的这一奖项为购买用于R/V Cape Hatteras的海洋仪器提供了支持，这是一艘135英尺的研究船，由杜克大学/北卡罗来纳大学海洋学联盟（DUNCOC）运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。具体而言，建议支持获取仪器以精确确定和记录船舶航向和方向，纠正船体安装的声学电流剖面仪的关键信息，以及ku波段通信系统，在船舶和海岸之间提供7x24互联网连接，用于科学通信。这两个项目都是用于共享操作的。这些收购将为2005年和未来几年使用哈特拉斯角R/V进行研究的海洋科学家提供实质性的优势

This award to Duke University provides support for the acquisition of oceanographic instrumentation to be used on R/V Cape Hatteras, a 135' research vessel operated by the Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium (DUNCOC) as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Specifically, support is recommended to acquire instrumentation to precisely determine and record vessel heading and orientation, critical information to correct hull-mounted acoustic current profilers, as well as a Ku-band communication system, providing 7x24 Internet connectivity between the vessel and shore for science communications. Both of these items are intended for shared-use operation. These acquisitions should provide a substantial advantage to marine scientists using R/V Cape Hatteras in their research during 2005 and future years.***
