Oceanographic Instrumentation

这份授予俄勒冈州立大学的合同提供了仪器，以显著提高该机构和研究船Wecoma的海洋研究能力。Wecoma是一艘由俄勒冈州立大学运营的nsf所有的船，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该合同支持采购1)升级船舶数据采集系统，2)与CTD系统一起使用到全海洋深度的两个新的荧光计，以及3)安装在船体上的300 kHz（高分辨率）声学电流分析器，以补充船舶近水面研究的75 kHz单元。所有这些都是共享使用的功能，可供R/V Wecoma的所有资助用户使用。这些改进将在2005年和未来几年对海洋科学家有实质性的好处

0514602WillisThis award to Oregon State University provides instrumentation to significantly improve the oceanographic research capabilities of the institution and the research vessel Wecoma, an NSF-owned ship operated by OSU as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The award supports acquisition of 1) an upgrade to the ship's data acquisition system, 2) two new fluorometers for use with the CTD system to full ocean depth, and 3) a hull-mounted, 300 kHz (high resolution) acoustic current profiler to complement the vessel's 75 kHz unit for near-surface studies. All of these are shared-use capabilities that are available to all funded users of the R/V Wecoma. These improvements will be of substantial advantage to marine scientists during 2005 and future years.***
