Oceanographic Instrumentation

迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院要求将几件海洋仪器放在共享设备池中。该设备是为在该机构运营的两艘研究船上使用或与之配合使用而维修的。1990年期间，这些船的运行计划中有很大一部分是为了支持nsf赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高舰船和大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：-用于测量放射性同位素示踪剂和其他化学参数的闪烁计数器；-用于提高共享使用的可靠性和性能的磁盘驱动器、激光打印机、终端和其他外围计算机设备；-用于精确测量地下环流特征的声学多普勒电流剖面仪系统的备用电路板，-用于控制CTD的甲板单元，可获得海水电导率和温度随深度的详细剖面，-用于测量水柱中叶绿素和其他光学性质的荧光仪和透射仪；-用于改善水柱深处溶解氧和温度测量的溶解氧探针和精密温度传感器；-电导率快速响应传感器，用于连接到CTD。上述仪器将增加研究所支持nsf资助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami has requested 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 1990 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: -Scintillation counter for measurements of radio-isotope tracers and other chemical parameters, -Disk drive, laser printer, terminals and other peripheral computer equipment for increasing the reliability and performance of shared-use, sea-going computing capabilities, -Spare circuit boards for the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler system that makes precision measurements of subsurface circulation features, -Deck unit for controlling CTD that obtains 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, -Dissolved oxygen probe and precision temperature sensor for improving dissolved oxygen and temperature measurements at depth in the water column, and -Conductivity fast response sensor for attaching to the CTD. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the Institution to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
