Huntec deep tow system digital console

超高分辨率地震反射剖面是我们正在进行的海洋地质研究的重要组成部分。在纽芬兰纪念大学，我们有大约30-35年前制造的Huntec深拖系统，但它仍然是当今最好的超高分辨率浅层穿透系统之一。Huntec深拖系统通常提供20-25厘米的地层分辨率，轻松超过任何“啁啾”系统。目前，我们的模拟系统控制台的许多关键部件已经过时，但更重要的是，它们已经无法购买，使得维修变得非常困难，如果不是不可能的话。在本申请中，我们建议为我们现有的Huntec深海拖航系统购买一个数字系统控制台。如果没有该设备，我们将面临在花费宝贵的NSERC研究资金(包括装船时间分配)后，无法收集尽可能最佳的数据集(或任何数据！)的风险。

Ultra-high-resolution seismic reflection profiling is an important component of our ongoing marine geological research.  At Memorial University of Newfoundland we have a Huntec deep tow system which was manufactured ~30-35 years ago, but it is still one of the best ultra-high- resolution, shallow-penetration systems available today.  The Huntec deep tow system routinely provides 20-25 cm stratigraphic resolution, easily surpassing any "chirp" system. Presently many of the key components of our analogue system console are obsolete, but more importantly they can no longer be purchased, rendering repairs very difficult if not impossible. In this application we propose to purchase a digital system console for our existing Huntec deep tow system.  Without this equipment we would run the risk of failing to collect the best data-set possible (or any data at all!), after spending precious NSERC research funds, including Ship Time allocations.
