OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENTATION - 2005

授予马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的这一奖项提供了共用仪器，以显著提高亚特兰蒂斯号、克诺尔号和大洋号三艘研究船的海洋研究能力，这三艘船是世界卫生组织作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分运营的。具体地说，该合同将提供用于水样采集的尼斯金瓶、用于船上数据备份的网络数据存储系统、与CTDS(电导率-温度-深度传感器)配合使用的各种传感器、用于采样水柱中颗粒物的深水原位泵系统、用于在海面定位仪器的测向仪以及硝酸盐传感器。这些改进将对海洋科学家在2005年和未来几年使用这三艘船进行研究有很大的好处。

This award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts provides shared-use instrumentation to significantly improve the oceanographic research capabilities of the research vessels Atlantis, Knorr and Oceanus, three ships operated by WHOI as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Specifically, this award will provide Niskin bottles for water sampling, a network data storage system for shipboard data backup, various sensors for use in conjunction with CTDs (conductivity-temperature-depth sensors), deep-water in-situ pump systems for sampling particulate matter in the water column, a direction finder for locating instruments at the sea surface, and a nitrate sensor. These improvements will be of substantial advantage to marine scientists using these three ships in their research during 2005 and future years.
