A Data Base for Solar Terrestrial Surface Radiation over the Arctic Basin

探索性研究小额赠款项目将 提供一个独特的数据库的访问和汇编， 在现场，太阳和地球的每日平均测量 北极盆地中部的地表辐射。 这些数据 从1950年苏联的一系列流冰站收集到的 到1991年。 任何地方都没有可比数据。 俄罗斯研究人员 北极和南极研究所（AARI）在圣路易斯。 彼得堡最近同意将这一独特的和大的 美国调查人员可获得的数据集。 数据将 从手写的日志转过来， 分发给美国学术界。 数据已 与全球变化研究相关的多学科应用， 包括气候学，海洋学，海冰研究，气象学， 辐射传输、遥感和预报建模。 具有 提供高质量和全面的俄罗斯信息 很快美国研究界是及时规划新的美国。 北冰洋研究计划。

This Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) project will provide for the access to and compilation of a unique data base of in situ, daily averaged measurements of solar and terrestrial surface radiation over the central Arctic Basin. These data were collected from a series of Soviet drifting ice stations from 1950 to 1991. No comparable data exists anywhere. Russian researchers from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St. Petersburg have recently agreed to make this singular and large data set available to U.S. investigators. The data will be transposed from hand-written logs and archived on CD-ROM for distribution to the U.S. academic community. The data have multidisciplinary applications relevant to global change research, including climatology, oceanography, sea ice studies, meteorology, radiative transfer, remote sensing, and forecast modeling. Having this high quality and comprehensive Russian information available soon to the U.S. research community is timely for planning new U.S. Arctic Ocean research programs.
