Acquisition of Shipboard Oceanographic Instrumentation for R/V Fay Slover

这项授予弗吉尼亚州老道明大学的主要研究仪器奖提供资金，用于购买海洋仪器，为切萨皮克湾及其周围的研究和教育项目配备一艘55英尺长的沿海考察船。将购置的具体仪器包括一个电导率-温度-深度系统、一个精密深度记录器、一个声学海流剖面仪、一个全球定位系统、一个盒子取样器和一个数据记录计算机系统。该合同还包括在最初的三年中为一名海洋技术员提供部分支持，以整合、安装和监督仪器的运行。该项目得到了国家科学基金会海洋科学部的支持。老道明大学将从非联邦基金中为项目总成本的30%以上提供成本分摊支持。*

This Major Research Instrumentation award to Old Dominion University in Virginia provides funds for acquisition of oceanographic instrumentation to outfit a 55-foot coastal research vessel for research and education projects in and around the Chesapeake Bay. Specific instrumentation to be acquired included a Conductivity-Temperature-Depth system (CTD), a precision depth recorder, an acoustic current profiler, a global positioning sytem, a box corer and a data logging computer system. The award also included partial support of a marine technician to integrate, install and oversee operation of the instrumentation during the initial three years. The project is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. Old Dominion University will provide cost-share support from non-federal funds for more than 30% of total project costs.***
