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

这项提议寻求资金，为美国联合全球海洋观测系统赤道太平洋进程研究提供全面管理，该研究将在1991年秋季和1992年春季进行。此外，该提案寻求资金，以提供完成该项目所需的某些科学服务：船舶使用、水文学、营养物质分析、多谱勒海流计数据分析、卫星图像的获取和存档、现场测绘和沉积物取心。这些服务并不是孤立的科学建议和研究，而是那些提交了科学建议并被美国JGOFS指导委员会确定为对整个实验的成功至关重要的调查人员所必需的。该建议所附的美国JGOFS Rational and Plan for赤道太平洋过程研究为赤道太平洋过程研究提供了总体的科学依据和理由；它还描述了已得到美国JGOFS指导委员会和希望参与这项研究的科学家们认可的概念性计划和实验战略。

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.
