Center for Ultraviolet Radiation Research at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology

该项目将提供设备，使夏威夷海洋生物研究所成为热带海洋环境中紫外线辐射的各种研究中心。一个关于海洋紫外线辐射的国际研讨会（1994年8月）得出结论，HIMB的研究历史和它的亚热带位置使它成为美国乃至世界上建立这样一个中心最合理的地点。扫描光谱辐射计可以在实验室和野外对辐射进行精确测量。一种对紫外线敏感/可见波长的遥控电视将允许对海洋动物感官世界的部分进行视觉感知和测量，而人类对此却一无所知。参观者将被鼓励使用这些设施，该领域的几位主要研究人员也有参与的坚定计划。

Project Summary This project will provide equipment to enable the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology to serve as a center for diverse research on UV radiation in the tropical marine environment. An international workshop on UV radiation in the sea (Aug., 1994) concluded that HIMB's history of such research and its sub-tropical location make it the most logical site in the U.S.A., or the world, for such a center. A scanning spectroradiometer will allow precision measurement of radiation in the laboratory and the field. A UV- sensitive/visible wavelength remote controlled television will allow visual perception and measurement of portions of the sensory world of marine animals of which humans are dismally unaware. Visitors will be encouraged to use these facilities and several leading investigators in the field have firm plans for participation.
