Oceanographic Instrumentation

密歇根大学大湖和水生科学中心将获得几项海洋仪器，并将其放在一个共享使用设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在大学拥有和运营的研究船上或与R/V LAURENTIAN一起使用。在1991年期间，该船运行计划的很大一部分是为了支持nsf赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高该船和该大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：-用于绘制海底形态细节的侧扫声纳系统，用于研究沉积和各种物体和结构的分布，以及-Niskin瓶，用于在水柱的不同深度收集离散的海水样本；上述仪器将提高大学支持nsf资助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The University of Michigan's Center for Great Lakes & Aquatic Sciences 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 LAURENTIAN, a research vessel owned and operated by the University. A substantial part of the ship's operating schedule during 1991 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the University to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -Side-scan sonar system for mapping details of bottom morphology that are useful in studies of sedimentation and the distribution of various objects and structures, and -Niskin bottles for collecting discrete seawater samples at various depths in the water column, The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the University to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
