Oceanographic Instrumentation 2003, University of Hawaii

0302667Taylor这项授予夏威夷大学马诺阿分校的合同支持购买一台38 kHz的深剖面声学海流剖面仪，安装在R/V Kilo Moana上。它还支持租赁一台新的数字营养分析仪，并有权购买该分析仪，用于测定海水样品中铵、硝酸盐、硅酸盐、亚硝酸盐和磷酸盐的浓度水平。该仪器预计将用于基洛·莫阿纳和联合国难民事务高级专员办事处的其他考察船，以及夏威夷大学校园内非海上的一个实验室。预计将在租赁期内对船上操作仪器的稳固性及其整体性能进行评估，并将结果提供给国家海洋学基金会和其他海洋学研究人员，以便与现有系统进行相互比较。这些收购将为海洋科学家在2003年和未来几年的研究中提供实质性的优势。

0302667TaylorThis award to University Hawaii at Manoa provides support for the acquisition of a 38 kHz, deep-profiling acoustic current profiler to be installed on R/V Kilo Moana. It also supports the lease, with option to purchase, a new, digital nutrient analyzer for determining concentration levels of ammonium, nitrate, silicate, nitrite and phosphate in seawater samples. This instrument is expected to be used on Kilo Moana and other UNOLS research vessels, as well as in a laboratory on the University of Hawaii campus when not at sea. It is expected that the robustness of the instrument for shipboard operation and its overall performance will be evaluated during the lease period, and results provided to NSF and other oceanographic researchers for intercomparison with existing systems. These acquisitions should provide a substantial advantage to marine scientists in their research during 2003 and future years.***
