A Proposal for Management and Scientific Service Operation in Support of the US JGOFS Equatorial Pacific Process Study

该提案寻求资金为将于 1991 年秋季和 1992 年春季进行的美国 JGOFS 赤道太平洋过程研究提供全面管理。此外，该提案还寻求资金来提供完成该项目所需的某些科学服务：船舶使用、水文学、营养物分析、多普勒海流计数据分析、卫星图像采集和存档、现场测绘和沉积物取芯。 这些服务并不单独作为科学提案和研究，但对于已提交科学提案并被美国 JGOFS 指导委员会认为对整个实验成功至关重要的研究人员来说是必需的。 与本提案一起的美国 JGOFS 赤道太平洋过程研究合理性和计划为赤道太平洋过程研究提供了总体科学原理和理由；它还描述了得到美国JGOFS指导委员会和想要参与该研究的科学家认可的概念计划和实验策略。

This proposal seeks funding to provide the overall management for a US JGOFS Equatorial Pacific process study to be conducted during the fall of 1991 and spring of 1992. In addition, the proposal seeks funding to provide certain scientific services necessary for the completion of the project: ship use, hydrography, nutrient analysis, analysis of doppler current meter data, acquisition and archiving of satellite imagery, site mapping and sediment coring. These services do not stand alone as scientific proposals and research, but are necessary to investigators who have submitted scientific proposals and have been identified as critical to the success of the overall experiment by the US JGOFS Steering Committee. The US JGOFS Rational and Plan for Equatorial Pacific Process Studies, which accompanies this proposal provides the overall scientific rationale and justification for an equatorial Pacific process study; it also describes the conceptual plan and experimental strategy that has been endorsed by the US JGOFS Steering Committee and the scientists who want to take part in the study.
