Oceanographic Instrumentation

圣何塞州立大学的莫斯登陆海洋实验室将购买几件海洋仪器，放入共享设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在R/V POINT SUR上使用或与R/V POINT SUR一起使用，这是一艘由NSF拥有并由大学运营的研究船。该船在1990年的运行计划中有很大一部分是为了支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目。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：-用于确定海水盐度和校准船上仪器的精密盐度计。-用于测量水柱中的叶绿素和其他光学性质的荧光计和透射计，-用于确定仪器包相对于水面或海底的位置的精密声学探测仪，以及-用于保持拖曳仪器的适当深度的流体动力钢丝压制器。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 Moss Landing Marine Laboratory of San Jose State University 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 POINT SUR, a research vessel owned by the NSF and operated by the University. A substantial part of the ship's operating schedule during 1990 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: -A precision salinometer for determining the salinity of seawater and calibrating shipboard instrumentation. -Fluorometer and transmissometer for measuring chlorophyll and other optical properties in the water column, -Precision acoustic pinger for determining position of an instrument package relative to the surface or seafloor, and -Hydrodynamic wire depressor for maintaining the proper depth of towed instruments. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the organization to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
