Oceanographic Instrumentation

罗森斯泰尔海洋与大气科学学院 迈阿密大学将收购几项 海洋学仪器将被放置在一个水池中， 共用设备。 本设备维护使用 在两艘研究船上或与两艘研究船有联系的， 机构运作。 大部分的船只 1989年的运营时间表是为了支持NSF赞助的 研究项目。 仪器也将增加 船舶和大学的能力， 支持研究和工程活动。 的 仪器包括： - 磁盘驱动系统和其他外围计算机设备 为了增加共享使用、海上计算能力， -600 kHz声学多普勒电流传感器 轮廓仪系统，用于精确测量 地下循环特征， - 用于测量放射性同位素的闪烁计数器 示踪剂和其他化学参数， -CTD用于获取海水的详细剖面 电导率和温度作为深度的函数， - 用于测量叶绿素的荧光计和透射计 以及水柱中的其他光学特性， - 高速调制解调器，用于在 基于海岸的实验室和船舶， - 便携式实验室升级，以改善溶解氧 和盐度测量， - 用于近实时分析的卫星图像显示系统 以及海上遥感数据的跟踪。 上述仪器将增加 该机构支持NSF赞助的 研究和工程项目。

The Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami 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 two research vessels the institution operates. A substantial part of the ships' operating schedule during 1989 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ships and of the University to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -Disk drive system and other peripheral computer equipment for increasing shared-use, sea-going computing capabilities, -600-kHz transducers for the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler system for making precision measurements of subsurface circulation features, -Scintillation counter for measurements of radio-isotope tracers and other chemical parameters, -CTD for obtaining detailed profiles of seawater conductivity and temperature as a function of depth, -Fluorometer and transmissometer for measuring chlorophyll and other optical properties in the water column, -High speed modem for transferring large data sets between shore based laboratories and the ship, -Portable laboratory upgrades for improving dissolved oxygen and salinity measurements, -Satellite image display system for near real-time analysis and tracking of remotely sensed data at sea. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the Institution to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
