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

这项建议寻求经费，以便为将于1991年秋季和1992年春季进行的美国联合气候基金赤道太平洋进程研究提供全面管理。此外，该提案还寻求资金，以提供完成该项目所需的某些科学服务：船舶使用、水文、养分分析、多普勒流计数据分析、卫星图像的获取和存档、场址测绘和沉积物取心。这些服务并不单独作为科学提案和研究，而是对于提交科学提案的研究人员来说是必要的，并且被美国JGOFS指导委员会确定为对整个实验的成功至关重要。该提案附带的美国JGOFS赤道太平洋过程研究的理性和计划为赤道太平洋过程研究提供了总体的科学依据和理由；它还描述了美国JGOFS指导委员会和希望参加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.
