Greenland Ice Sheet Program (GISP II) Data Management

该奖项是为了支持第二个格陵兰冰盖项目(GISPII)。GISPII的目标是恢复和分析格陵兰岛中部的一个深冰芯。来自极地地区的深冰芯提供了关键的古气候数据集，因为它们弥合了具有年分辨率但相对较短的时间尺度的其他代理记录与具有数百至数千年分辨率的记录之间的时间尺度差距。这一授标将确保在获得ICE核心数据时高效和及时地获取这些数据，并通过设计和实施ICE核心数据综合数据存取和存档系统，为关键数据提供安全、长期的存档。国家冰雪数据中心将提供数据管理和存档服务，以确保高效和集中地访问总数据集并永久保留关键数据。由于人们对古气候和全球变化的广泛和日益感兴趣，这些数据集不仅将被GISPII使用，而且冰川学以外的领域对这类数据的需求也将不断增加。

This award is in support of the second Greenland Ice Sheet Project (GISP II). The objective of GISP II is the retrieval and analysis of a deep ice core from central Greenland. Deep ice cores from polar regions provide key paleoclimate data sets because they bridge the time scale gap between other proxy records with annual resolution, but relatively short time scales, and those which have a resolution of hundreds to thousands of years. This award will assure efficient and timely access to ice core data as they become available, as well as provide for the safe, long-term, archival of key data through the design and implementation of a comprehensive data accession and archival system for ice core data. National Snow and Ice Data Center will provide data management and archiving services to ensure efficient and centralized access to the total data set and the permanent retention of key data. Because of the widespread and increasing interest in paleoclimate and global change, these data sets will be used not only by GISP II, but there will be an ever increasing demand from fields outside glaciology for this type of data.
