Oceanographic Instrumentation

这份授予阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学的合同为Alpha Helix研究船的海洋研究能力提供了仪器，该船由大学海洋科学研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。这里支持的具体仪器包括用于研究中尺度过程（特别是物理和生物相互作用）的拖曳起伏车辆系统，以及MOCNESS网络系统的备件，一个新的相控阵声学电流廓形仪，新的孵化器和备用CTD传感器。这些共享使用系统将在2002年和未来几年对使用该船进行研究的海洋科学家具有实质性的优势

0201246WeingartnerThis award to University of Alaska Fairbanks provides instrumentation to significantly upgrade and expand the oceanographic research capabilities of the research vessel Alpha Helix, a ship operated by the University's Institute of Marine Science as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Specific instrumentation supported here includes a towed, undulating vehicle system for studying mesoscale processes, especially in physical and biological interactions, as well as spares for the MOCNESS net system, a new phased array acoustic current profiler, new incubators and spare CTD sensors. These shared-use systems will be of substantial advantage to marine scientists using the ship in their research during 2002 and future years.***
