Oceanographic Instrumentation

9988135诺克斯授予圣地亚哥加州大学的这项合同将提供海洋学研究仪器，供斯克里普斯海洋学研究所海洋学数据设施使用，并提供具体仪器，供该研究所经营的四艘研究船上使用，即R/Vs Revelle号、梅尔维尔号、新地平线号和斯普劳尔号。 所有这四艘研究船都由该大学运营，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。需要购置的具体仪器包括两个24位“转盘式”取样系统，供电导-温度-深度系统使用;营养分析仪系统的备件;用于确定仪器水下位置的声波“脉冲发射器”;航行中环境数据系统的新传感器;船上使用的计算机外围设备;以及测量水深的回声测深仪传感器。还提供了资金，以协助R/V Revelle购买一个新的多波束回声测深仪系统; DURIP方案（国防部）和斯克里普斯研究所的非联邦基金也为此目的提供了资金。 此处支持的共用仪器将协助海洋科学家在2000年和今后几年在世界各地的SIO和其他研究船上进行研究。

9988135KnoxThis award to University of California at San Diego will provide instrumentation for oceanographic research for use by the Oceanographic Data Facility of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, as well as specific instruments for use on the four research vessels operated by the institution, R/Vs Revelle, Melville, New Horizon and Sproul. All four of these research vessels are operated by the university as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specific instrumentation to be acquired includes two 24-position "carousel" sampling systems for use with the conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) system, spare parts for the nutrient analyzer system, an acoustic "pinger" for locating instruments underwater, new sensors for the underway environmental data system, computer peripherals for shipboard use, and echosounder transducers for measuring water depth. Funds are also provided to assist in acquisition of a new multibeam echosounder system for R/V Revelle; funds are also being provided for this purpose by the DURIP program (Department of Defense) and by non-federal funds from Scripps Institution. The shared-use instrumentation supported here will assist marine scientists conduct studies worldwide on SIO and other research vessels during 2000 and future years.***
