An Acoustic Doppler Current Meter Profiler For Land Margin Ecosystem Research

94-00252该项目要求资金用于购买高频、宽带声学多普勒电流分析器（ADCP），该设备将作为各种研究项目的共享使用设备。ADCP将配备600 kHz和1.2 mHz换能器，以便在浅层环境中进行高分辨率的电流研究。该设备将提供给许多不同机构的研究人员，华盛顿大学、伍兹霍尔海洋研究所、海洋生物实验室、斯克里普斯海洋研究所和霍恩角环境实验室将为该仪器提供部分支持。所要求的仪器用于支持各种nsf资助的研究项目，主要与陆地边缘生态系统研究（LMER）计划有关，并将增强这些机构未来的科学能力。

94-00252 The PI requests funding to purchase a high-frequency, broad-band Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) that will be operated as shared use equipment for a wide variety of research programs. The ADCP will be equipped with a 600 kHz and 1.2 mHz transducers in order to allow high resolution studies of currents in shallow environments. This equipment will be available to researchers at many different institutions, and partial support for the instrument will be supplied by the University of Washington, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory, Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Horn Point Environmental Laboratory. The instrumentation requested is required for support of a variety of NSF-funded research projects, primarily related to the Land-Margin Ecosystem Research (LMER) programs, and will enhance the scientific capability of these institutions in the future.
