Ship Operations

迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院将运营两艘研究船：R/V ISELIN，这是一艘170英尺的通用海洋研究船，于1971年由美国国家科学基金会基金建造；以及1970年由美国国家科学基金会建造的63英尺科考船“卡拉努斯号”。ISELIN能够进行远洋作业，主要在北大西洋和南大西洋作业。CALANUS用于浅水近岸海岸海洋学研究。这些船只是美国国家科学基金会用来支持海洋学研究项目的船队的一部分。大多数海洋学研究项目需要高度专业化的设备和船员的广泛支持。越来越多的研究项目需要设备，这些设备必须永久安装在船上，并且必须为这些设备专门设计。这种设备还需要训练有素的机组人员进行维护和操作。这些船只的作业方式与普通货船或渔船不同，因此，NSF支持各种专门用于海洋研究的船只的作业。这些船只由全国各地的大学和研究机构运营。

The University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences will operate two research vessels: R/V ISELIN, a 170' general oceanographic vessel constructed with NSF funds in 1971; and R/V CALANUS, a 63' research vessel constructed by the NSF in 1970. The ISELIN is capable of ocean-going operations and operates primarily in the North Atlantic and South Atlantic. The CALANUS is intended for near-shore coastal oceanography in shallow waters. These vessels are part of a fleet used by the National Science Foundation to support oceanographic research projects. Most oceanographic research projects require highly specialized equipment and extensive support from a ship's crew members. An increasing number of research projects require equipment that must be permanently installed on a ship and for which the ship must be specifically designed. Such equipment also requires highly trained crew members for maintenance and operation. These vessels do not operate in the same manner as general cargo or fishing vessels, and therefore, NSF supports the operation of a variety of vessels specifically dedicated to oceanographic research. These vessels are operated by universities and research institutions around the country.
