The Pacific Fleet: 100 Seafloor Seismographs

9977249 Orcut这一重大研究仪器奖授予加州圣地亚哥大学斯克里普斯海洋学研究所，为开发和建造海底地震仪仪器提供资金，以研究地壳和地幔结构以及海洋环境中的地震动力学。 该合同为建造75个新仪器提供资金;连同现有仪器，它将提供一个适合在世界海洋使用的100个地震仪的池，这些地震仪将由SIO根据与NSF的合作协议（与该合同分开）进行操作。 该奖项还为相关的集装箱，数据检索和操作的计算机以及支持这些仪器的其他仪器提供资金。 地震仪将提供给来自美国学术界的合格研究人员。 该项目得到了海洋科学部和NSF极地项目办公室的支持。 斯克里普斯海洋学研究所将为项目总费用的30%提供费用分摊支助。

9977249OrcuttThis Major Research Instrumentation award to Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the Univeristy of California San Diego provides funds to develop and build ocean bottom seismometer instruments to conduct research in the structure of earth's crust and mantle as well as earthquake dynamics in the marine environment. The award provides funds to build seventy-five new instruments; together with existing instruments it will provide a pool of 100 seismometers suitable for use throughout the world ocean which will be operated by SIO under cooperative agreement (separate from this award) with NSF. The award also provides funds for related shipping containers, computers for data retrieval and operations, and other instrumentation to support the instruments. The seismometers will be available to qualified researchers from throughout the US academic community. The project is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Office of Polar Programs at NSF. Scripps Institution of Oceanography will provide cost-share support for 30% of total project costs.***
