Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2007

这份授予佛罗里达迈阿密大学的合同为ku波段卫星通信天线、相关调制解调器和收发器的采购提供支持，以便在进行研究时为R/V Walton Smith提供全职互联网连接。这些仪器将由船上的工作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，该合同还为采购频谱分析仪和路由器/防火墙提供支持，以支持新卫星通信系统上的安全舰载网络操作。为Seward Johnson号R/V上的HiSeasNet c波段通信系统提供类似的频谱分析仪和路由器/防火墙的资金，迈阿密大学为该系统提供海上技术支持。R/V苏厄德·约翰逊号由海港分部海洋学研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。还提供资金购买新的回声测深系统，供这两艘船以及联卢观察团其他五艘船和两个备用装置使用。此次收购将在2007年和未来几年为使用这些研究船的海洋科学家提供实质性的改进

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.***
