Federal Interagency Support of Global Geosciences ScientificPlanning

联合海洋学研究所，将提供支持， 广泛的联邦机构间科学规划活动， 海洋学和密切相关的研究和技术。 一个主要 重点将是协助改善实地 研究和卫星遥感项目，如世界 海洋环流实验，全球海洋通量联合研究 （JGOFS）和全球生态系统动力学计划（GLOBEC）。 讲习班 将就这些方案感兴趣的专门专题进行， 例如海洋表层盐度及其可行性， 卫星测量。 同样，还将为以下方面提供支助： 在上述方面开展更有效的国际协调， 参考和其他美国全球地球科学研究计划， 其他国家的类似努力。

The Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc., will provide support for a broad range of Federal interagency scientific planning activities in oceanography and closely related research and technology. A major focus will be to assist in improving interaction between in situ research and satellite remote sensing in programs such as the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), and the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Program (GLOBEC). Workshops will be conducted on specialized topics of interest to these programs, such as ocean surface layer salinity and the feasibility of its measurement by satellite. Similarly, support will be provided for development of more effective international coordination of the above- referenced and other U.S. global geoscience research programs with analogous efforts in other countries.
