Oceanographic Instrumentation

海洋学仪器方案支持获取用于收集、处理和分析海洋数据的仪器的请求。德克萨斯A&M大学的这项提案要求为设备提供资金，这些设备将用于支持NSF资助的海洋船队中几艘船的研究巡航，特别是MOANA Wave、Thomas Washington和New Horizon。国际和平研究所提议与夏威夷大学和斯克里普斯海洋研究所的科学家合作，升级所有这三个机构使用的数字地震系统。升级后的系统将包括一个SUN SPARC工作站，输出到8 mm或4 mm磁带。新系统将比当前系统更小、更便携，存储介质(Exabyte或DAT磁带)将比当前使用的存储介质(9磁道磁带)更便宜、更小。将开发三个系统，供科学界使用。

The oceanographic instrumentation program supports requests to acquire instrumentation for the collection, processing and analysis of oceanographic data. This proposal from Texas A&M University requests funding for equipment that will be used to support NSF- funded research cruises on several of the ships in the oceanographic fleet, particularly the MOANA WAVE, the THOMAS WASHINGTON and the NEW HORIZON. The PI's propose to collaborate with scientists at the University of Hawaii and Scripps Institute of Oceanography to upgrade the digital seismic systems used at all three institutions. The upgraded systems will consist of a SUN SPARCstation with output to either 8mm or 4mm tape. The new systems will be significantly smaller and more portable than the current systems, and the storage media (Exabyte or DAT tapes) will be cheaper and significantly smaller than the currently used storage media (9-track tapes). Three systems will be developed and made available for use by the scientific community.
