Oceanographic Instrumentation

杜克大学海洋实验室将购买几件海洋仪器，放入共享设备池中。该设备在哈特拉斯角R/V号上使用或与R/V一起使用，这是一艘由美国国家科学基金会拥有并由杜克大学运营的研究船。在1989年期间，这艘船的很大一部分运行计划是为了支持NSF赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高该船和该机构支持研究和工程活动的能力。该仪器包括：-用于从海底采集未受干扰的沉积物样品的箱式取样器，-SAIL船上数据记录系统的计算机和其他硬件升级，-用于测量水柱中的光级和其他光学特性的光谱仪，-光盘驱动系统和增加海上共享计算能力，-传导性、温度和深度剖面仪的部件，-改进单通道数字地震系统，-无线电测向仪天线，用于定位海上漂浮仪器。上述工具将提高该组织支持NSF赞助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Duke University Marine Laboratory will acquire several items of oceanographic instrumentation to be placed in a pool of shared use equipment. This equipment is maintained for use on or in association with the R/V CAPE HATTERAS, a research vessel owned by the NSF and operated by Duke University. A substantial part of the ship's operating schedule during 1989 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the institution to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -Box corer for collecting undisturbed sediment samples from the seafloor, -Computer and other hardware upgrades for the SAIL shipboard data logging system, -Spectrophometer for measuring light levels and other optical properties in the water column, -Optical disk drive system and for increasing shared-use computing capabilities at sea, -Parts for a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth profiling device, -Enhancements to the single-channel digital seismic system, -Radio Direction Finder Antenna for locating floating instrumentation at sea. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the organization to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
