Oceanographic Instrumentation

这份授予阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学的合同将为R/V Alpha Helix提供用于海洋研究的仪器，Alpha Helix是一艘由位于苏厄德的大学海洋中心运营的研究船，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。需要购买的具体仪器包括用于测量洋流的声学多普勒电流分析器（安装在船体上），用于海洋营养物质分析的自动分析系统的替换部件，用于数据管理的船上计算机，以及用于水下和船上测量的水采样瓶和光传感器仪器。这里支持的共享使用仪器将协助海洋科学家在1998年和今后几年进行研究，特别是在东北太平洋和白令海进行研究。

9731391 Weingartner This award to University of Alaska Fairbanks will provide instrumentation for oceanographic research for use on R/V Alpha Helix, a research vessel operated by the university's marine center in Seward as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specific instruments to be acquired include an acoustic doppler current profiler (hull mounted) for measuring ocean currents, replacement components for the auto-analyzer system for ocean nutrient analyses, a shipboard computer for data management, plus water sampling bottles and light sensor instrumentation for bother subsurface and shipboard measurements. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies, particularly in the Northeast Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, in 1998 and future years.
