Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2007

该奖项授予马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，提供共用仪器，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(UNLS)研究船队的一部分运营的。具体地说，该合同将提供一个Ku波段卫星通信系统，为海上R/V Ocean的科学家和船员提供7x24互联网接入，以及电池和对现有降低的声流剖面仪的升级，用于记录CTD作业期间电缆底部作用力的负载插针，用于海洋水文测量车的新的盐度计和氧气滴定系统，用于深水采样的备用电机和潜水泵的头部，以及用于R/V Ocean的新的姿态/航向传感器系统。这些改进将对海洋科学家在2007年和未来几年的研究中使用这三种方法大有裨益。

0717550FisichellaThis 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 (UNOLS) research fleet. Specifically, this award will provide a Ku-band satellite communication system offering 7x24 Internet access to scientists and crew of R/V Oceanus from sea, as well as batteries and upgrades to existing lowered acoustic current profilers, load pins to document forces on the bottom of the cable during CTD operations, a new salinometer and oxygen titration system for use in the seagoing hydrographic van, spare motor and head for submersible pumps for deep-water sampling, acotusic releases, and a new attitude/heading sensor system for R/V Oceanus. These improvements will be of substantial benefit to marine scientists using these three in their research during 2007 and future years.
