SHEBA Project Office

OPP 9505093莫里茨研究由该基金资助，由北极系统科学全球变化研究计划赞助，由海洋科学部和极地计划办公室联合赞助。将开展的工作是迈向一个名为SHEBA的五年重大研究项目的初步步骤，该项目旨在研究北冰洋的热量收支及其对全球变化的影响。SHEBA的主要目标是：(1)开发、测试和实施北极海洋-大气-冰过程模式，以明显改进对当今北极气候包括其变异性的模拟，并利用全球环流模式(GCMS)；(2)改进对北极卫星遥感数据的解释，用于北极气候系统的分析，并为模型投入、模型验证和气候监测提供可靠数据。这项授予华盛顿大学的奖项为SHEBA计划设立了一个科学项目办公室。该办公室将协调规划活动、数据收集，并作为该项目的主要联络点。所有第一阶段调查员产生的数据将传送给该办公室，并提供给其他调查员，以便利用现有的最新数据集有效地进行外地方案的规划工作。?？

ABSTRACT OPP 9505093 Moritz Research supported by this grant is under the auspices of the Arctic Systems Science (ARCSS) Global Change Research Program and is jointly sponsored by the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Office of Polar Programs. Work to be performed represents preliminary steps towards a major 5-year research project named SHEBA, which is envisioned to study the heat budget of the Arctic Ocean and its impact on global change. The primary goals of SHEBA are: (1) to develop, test and implement models of arctic ocean- atmosphere-ice processes that demonstrably improve simulations of the present day arctic climate, including its variability, using General Circulation Models (GCMs), and (2) to improve the interpre tation of satellite remote sensing data in the Arctic for analysis of the arctic climate system and provide reliable data for model input, model validation and climate monitoring. This award to the University of Washington establishes a Science Project Office for the SHEBA Program. The Office will coordidate the planning activities, data collection, and serve as the primary point of contact for the project. The data generated by all of the Phase 1 investigators will be transmitted to the Office and made available to other investigators so that the planning effort for the field program will be efficiently conducted with the most recent data set available. ??
