The Capital Structure for Ocean Science: Final Report of the Ocean Science and Technology Resource Study (ORS).

摘要

The Ocean Science and Technology Resources Study (ORS) determines whether there is underinvestment in the capital assets needed for future United States efforts in ocean science and estimates costs to meet any underinvestment. ORS also determines whether existing capital assets are underutilized. Assets considered in ORS include ships, aircraft, submersibles/habitats, and major computers; ORS concentrates on ships since they are by far the most numerous type of assets.
