Oceanographic Instrumentation R/V Cape Hatteras

这项授予杜克大学的合同为购买将用于R/V好望角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联盟(DUNCOC)运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。具体地说，建议提供支持，以获得用于精确确定和记录船只航向和方位的仪器、校正船体安装的声学海流剖面仪的关键信息，以及Ku波段通信系统，以便在船只和岸上之间提供7x24互联网连接，以便进行科学通信。这两个项目都旨在共享使用操作。这些收购应该会为海洋科学家在2005年和未来几年使用哈特角R/V进行研究提供实质性的优势。

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.***
