Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2007

0724122Findley该奖项授予佛罗里达的迈阿密大学，为购买Ku波段卫星通信天线、相关调制解调器和收发机提供支持，以便在进行研究时为R/V Walton Smith提供全天候互联网连接。该仪器将由船上的人员使用加州大学圣地亚哥分校的地面站通过一个名为HiSeasNet的系统进行操作。此外，该合同还为获得频谱分析仪和路由器/防火墙提供支持，以支持通过新的卫星通信系统进行安全的舰载网络操作。为与R/V Seward Johnson上的HiSeasNet C波段通信系统一起使用的类似频谱分析仪和路由器/防火墙提供资金，迈阿密大学为其提供海上技术支持。R/V Seward Johnson由海港分院海洋研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。还提供资金，用于购置新的回声测深仪系统，供两艘船以及联索办事处的其他五艘船和两个备用装置使用。这项收购将在2007年和未来几年大幅提高海洋科学家使用这些考察船的能力。*

0724122FindleyThis award to University of Miami in Florida provides support for the acquisition of a Ku-band satellite communications antenna, related modems and transceivers, to provide full time Internet connectivity to R/V Walton Smith while underway conducting research. The instrumentation will be operated by the ship's personnel, using a ground station at the University of California San Diego, through a system called HiSeasNet. In addition, the award provides support for acquiring a spectrum analyzer and routers/firewalls to support secure shipboard network operations over the new satellite communication system. Funds are provided for similar spectrum analyzer and routers/firewalls for use with the HiSeasNet C-band communications system on R/V Seward Johnson, for which University of Miami provides the technical support at sea. R/V Seward Johnson is operated by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Funds are also provided to acquire new echosounder systems for use on both vessels, as well as five other UNOLS vessels and two spare units. This acquisition should provide a substantial improvement in the capability available to marine scientists using these research vessels during 2007 and future years.***
