Oceanographic Instrumentation

迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋科学学院将获得几件海洋仪器，放在一个共享使用设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在大学运营的两艘研究船上使用或与之配合使用。在1991年期间，这些船的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：-新开发的Rosette水采样器，以改善在特定水深的离散海水样品的收集；-新Rosette系统的水采样器瓶；-改进微型计算机系统和其他外围设备，以增加共同使用的海上计算能力；- CTD的精密温度传感器；-精密声学高度计，用于确定科学仪器成套设备相对于海底的精确位置；-终端服务器，用于加强船上科学用户之间的科学数据传输和通信；-盐度瓶，用于储存海水样品；-精密盐度计，用于测定海水的盐度；-校正深海温度测量的电子倒转温度计；-电子分析天平；-用于收集海底沉积物剖面的活塞盖桶。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 Rosensteil School of Marine Science at the University of Miami 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 two research vessels operated by the university. A substantial part of the ships' 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: -Newly developed Rosette water sampler to improve the collection of discrete seawater samples at specific water depths, -Water sampler bottles for the new Rosette system, - Microcomputer system upgrade and other peripheral equipment for increasing shared-use, sea-going computing capabilities, -precision temperature sensors for the CTD, -Precision acoustic altimeter for use in determining the precise position of a scientific instrument package relative to the seafloor, and -Terminal server for enhancing scientific data transfer and communications amongst scientific users of the ship, -Salinity bottles for storing seawater samples, -A precision salinometer for determining the salinity of seawater, -Electronic reversing thermometers for calibrating deep sea temperature measurements, -Electronic analytical balance, and -Piston corer barrels for collecting profiles of seafloor sediments. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the University to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
