Workshop on the Development of Remote Sensing and In situ Seawater Temperature Measurement Capabilities: Florida, January 1994

9319947奥格登这个美洲奖将支持代表19个区域海洋实验室的大约25名美国和加勒比科学家参加由南佛罗里达大学的John Ogden教授和合作者组织的研讨会。 讲习班将在佛罗里达的Keys海洋实验室举行，将审议目前正在进行的全区域生态系统和物理时间序列测量在遥感海面温度和海洋颜色方面的应用。 该项目以加勒比沿海海洋生产力（CARICOMP）计划为基础，该计划是在教科文组织和国家科学基金会的支持下开发的西热带大西洋区域海洋实验室网络，目前得到麦克阿瑟基金会的支持。加勒比海洋方案监测沿海海洋的珊瑚礁、红树林和海草生态系统的状况。 目前的方案将促进美国目前和未来遥感能力的区域地面实况测量的发展，并将在加勒比海沿岸15个国家的研究机构内开发潜在的合作者和遥感数据用户。 将在该项目下开发的区域数据将从根本上帮助我们了解全球变化对热带沿海地区生物多样性生态系统的影响。 ***

9319947 Ogden This Americas award will support a group of approximately 25 U.S. and Caribbean scientists representing 19 regional marine laboratories, to participate in a workshop organized by Professor John Ogden of the University of South Florida and collaborators. The workshop, which will take place in Keys Marine Laboratories, Florida, will consider the application of the region-wide ecosystem and physical time series measurements being made at present, to remote sensing of sea surface temperature and ocean color. This project builds on the Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity (CARICOMP) program, a network of marine laboratories in the Western Tropical Atlantic region, developed under the support of UNESCO and NSF and currently supported by the MacArthur Foundation. CARICOMP monitors the state of coastal oceans in reef, mangrove and seagrass ecosystems. The present program will promote the development of regional ground truth measurements for current and future remote sensing capabilities in the U.S. and will develop potential collaborators and users of remote sensing data within research institutions in 15 countries bordering the Caribbean sea. The regional data to be developed under this project will contribute fundamentally to our understanding of the impact of global change on the biologically diverse ecosystems of the tropical coastal zone. ***
