Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2004

0411610Findley该奖项授予佛罗里达的迈阿密大学，为购买海洋仪器提供支持，这些仪器将用于该大学的罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院(RSMAS)和海港分部海洋研究所运营的三艘船上。这三艘船都是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。具体地说，建议支持R/V Seward Johnson的位置和定向系统，提供关于船只位置和定向的高分辨率数据，用于处理声流计数据和输入到船只的动态定位系统，并用于改善其他科学系统的导航。该合同还将提供支持，为R/V Walton Smith购买一台高分辨率、安装在船体上的声学多普勒海流剖面仪，以及一台单独的300 kHz降压式声学海流剖面仪，用于研究整个水柱的垂直海流结构。这些收购将大大改善海洋科学家在2004年和未来几年使用HBOI和RSMAS船进行研究时可使用的共用仪器。

0411610FindleyThis award to University of Miami in Florida provides support for the acquisition of oceanographic instrumentation to be used on three vessels operated by the university's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) and the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. All three ships are operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Specifically, support is recommended for a position and orientation system for R/V Seward Johnson, providing high resolution data on vessel location and orientation for use in processing acoustic current meter data as well as input to the vessel's dynamic positioning system, and for use in improving navigation for other scientific systems. The award will also provide support to acquire a high resolution, hull-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler for R/V Walton Smith, and a separate, 300 kHz lowered acoustic current profiler to study vertical current structure through the full water column. These acquisitions should provide a substantial improvement in the shared-use instrumentation available to marine scientists using the HBOI and RSMAS vessels in their research during 2004 and future years.***
