Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2007

0724122 Findley授予位于佛罗里达的迈阿密大学的这一合同为购买Ku波段卫星通信天线、相关调制解调器和收发器提供支持，以便在进行研究的同时为R/V Walton Smith提供全时互联网连接。 仪器将由船上的工作人员通过一个名为HiSeasNet的系统使用加州圣地亚哥大学的地面站进行操作。此外，该合同还将为采购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船上网络操作。 已提供资金购买类似的频谱分析仪和路由器/防火墙，供Seward约翰逊号R/V上的HiSeasNet C波段通信系统使用，迈阿密为该系统提供海上技术支持。 R/V苏厄德约翰逊是由港口分支海洋研究所作为大学国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。还提供资金购买新的回声测深仪系统，供两艘船只使用，并购买联合国后勤支助处其他五艘船只和两个备用设备。 这一购置将大大提高海洋科学家在2007年和今后几年使用这些研究船的能力。

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.***
