EM and Pressure Oceanographic Instrumentation Upgrading and Development

斯克里普斯海洋研究所将升级Jean Filloux和他的团队开发的一套底部安装的电磁场传感器和海底压力计。这些原型仪器已用于海洋和地球物理调查。它们的现代化将提高仪器在未来研究应用中的可靠性。升级将包括过去几年在电子和材料方面的进步。将增加现代数据存储能力，并将安装声学版本，允许长期部署长达24个月。新的陶瓷材料和电子设备的加入也将提高传感器的可靠性和稳定性。这些升级承认了电磁测量作为未来海洋科学调查的一个组成部分的重要性，包括全球地球科学倡议。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography will upgrade a suite of bottom mounted electromagnetic field sensors and bottom pressure gauges developed by Jean Filloux and his group. These prototype instruments have been used in both oceanographic and geophysical investigations. Their modernization will enhance the instruments' reliability for future research applications. The upgrades will incorporate advances in electronics and materials which have occurred over the past years. Modern data storage capabilities will be added and acoustic releases will be mounted allowing long- term deployments for up to 24 months. Incorporation of new ceramic materials and electronics will also increase the reliability and stability of the sensors. The upgrades acknowledge the importance of EM measurements as a component of future ocean science investigations including the Global Geoscience initiatives.
