This award supports a three year program to measure new production in the eastern equatorial Pacific and to quantitatively test models that predict new production from other indexes of surface water production. The field work will be done as part of on an already funded project by NOAA and in collaboration with other NSF investigators. New production is related to the amount of carbon lost from ocean surface waters and the eastern equatorial Pacific is thought to be a very active area for new production. This work forms part of evolving efforts in Global Ocean Flux Studies (GOFS) that are partially supported by Biological Oceanography.

该奖项支持一项为期三年的计划，旨在测量东赤道太平洋的新产量，并定量测试根据其他地表水产量指标预测新产量的模型。 现场工作将作为 NOAA 已资助项目的一部分并与其他 NSF 研究人员合作完成。 新产量与海洋表面水域的碳损失量有关，赤道东太平洋被认为是新产量非常活跃的地区。 这项工作是全球海洋通量研究 (GOFS) 不断发展的努力的一部分，这些研究得到了生物海洋学的部分支持。
