Antarctic Seismic Data Library System

该奖项支持美国对南极地震数据图书馆合作研究系统（SDLS）的贡献，该系统是由南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）主持并根据《南极条约》（ATCM建议XVI-16）授权的一个国际机构，负责向全世界开放获取南极多通道地震反射（MCS）数据。包括美国在内的11个国家迄今收集的超过13.5万公里的数据。SDLS于1991年4月由南极MCS数据收集者一致设计，并于1991年10月被《南极条约》采用。SDLS服务于国际社会，目前在11个国家设有12个图书馆分馆。MCS数据保存在图书馆分馆的cd - rom上，每个分馆在一位资深南极研究员的监督下，现在有27张cd - rom，其中有超过6万公里的MCS数据。处理后的数据必须在数据收集之日起4年内提交给SDLS，并在SDLS中保存至收集之日起8年，之后数据将发送到世界数据中心（即国家地球物理数据中心（NGDC））。自从SDLS开始以来，美国地质调查局（USGS）与SCAR合作管理SDLS，并且直到1994年提供启动资金以生产cd - rom和建立两个美国图书馆分馆。1994年，南极研究中心建议，国家南极计划的经费应由国家南极方案的管理人员提供，以确保其国家收集的数据按照《条约》的授权进入国家南极计划。美国极地研究委员会建议由NSF-OPP提供资金支持美国参与SDLS（例如2个现有的美国图书馆分馆、数据提交、CD- ROM费用等）。1994年，美国地质勘探局和意大利地质实验观测站（OGS）达成协议，在美国和意大利国家南极计划提供资金之前，共同运营SDLS，直至2000年。根据这项协议，意大利将生产cd - rom，美国地质调查局将向SDLS分支机构提供一般监督和数据分发。个别国家将支持自己的SDLS分支机构。该机构间协议提供了一种机制，支持美国监督和参与SDLS，由美国南极计划向美国地质调查局提供资金，美国地质调查局将对SDLS进行一般监督，并根据ATCM建议XVI-12和SCAR科学建议实施美国参与SDLS。

Abstract Cooper 9618700 This award supports the US contribution to the Antarctic Seismic Data Library System for Cooperative Research (SDLS), an international agency under the auspices of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and under mandates of the Antarctic Treaty (ATCM Recommendation XVI-16), that is responsible for providing open access worldwide to Antarctic multichannel seismic reflection (MCS) data, including the more than 135,000 km of data collected to date by more than 11 countries, including the U.S. The SDLS was designed by consensus of Antarctic MCS data collectors in April 1991, and was adopted by the Antarctic Treaty in October 1991. The SDLS serves the international community, and now has 12 library branches in 11 countries. MCS data are kept at library branches on CD-ROMs, and each branch, overseen by a senior Antarctic researcher, now has 27 CD-ROMs with over 60,000 km of MCS data. Processed data must be submitted to the SDLS within 4 years of the time of data collection, to be kept in the SDLS until 8 years from time of collection, after which data will be sent to World Data Centers (i.e. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)). Since inception of the SDLS, the US Geological Survey (USGS) worked with SCAR to manage the SDLS, and until 1994 provided start-up funding to produce CD-ROMs and establish two U.S. library branches. In 1994, SCAR recommended that funding for SDLS should come from Managers of National Antarctic Programs, to assure that data collected by their country were entered into SDLS in accord with Treaty mandates. The U.S. Polar Research Board recommended that funds to support U.S. participation in SDLS (e.g. 2 current U.S. library branches, data submittal, CD- ROM costs, etc.) be provided by NSF-OPP. In 1994, USGS and Italy's Osservatorio Geofisico Sperimentale (OGS) agreed, pending funding from U.S. and Italian National Antarctic Programs, to jointly operate SDLS through the year 2000. Under thi s agreement, Italy would produce CD-ROMs and USGS would provide general oversight and data distribution to SDLS branches. Individual countries would support their own SDLS branches. This Interagency Agreement provides a mechanism to support U.S. oversight and participation in SDLS, with funding from the U.S. Antarctic Program to USGS, who will provide general oversight for SDLS and will implement U.S. participation in accord with ATCM Recommendation XVI-12 and science recommendations of SCAR.
