WOCE - Synthesis Southern Ocean Atlas

9811481奥尔西在本项目中，专业研究员将利用所有可用的资料，绘制南大洋水文地图集，包括南极绕极流及其以南地区。 这些数据包括世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）的水文数据和经过仔细筛选的历史数据，这些数据已使用WOCE数据进行质量控制。 为地球仪的这一区域单独制作一个地图集是有道理的，因为需要提供单独的全球地图集无法提供的细节。 将产生各种数据产品。 需要四年的努力，因为数据尚未全部提供，并将在今后几年中不断公布。 设想该地图集有两个电子版本：一个是光盘，内置浏览器，载有数据统计、网格区域、轮廓部分等，和一个万维网网站。 印刷地图集不被设想为该项目的一部分。

9811481OrsiIn this project the PIs will construct a hydrographic atlas of the Southern Ocean, including the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the region to its south, using all available hydrographic data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and a carefully-screened selection of historical data that have been quality-controlled using the WOCE data. A separate atlas for this region of the globe is justified by the need for detail not available in a global atlas alone. A variety of data products are will be generated. A four year effort is required, as the data are not yet all available, and will be released continuously for the next several years. Two electronic versions of the atlas are envisioned: a CD-ROM with built-in browser, containing data statistics, gridded fields, contoured sections, etc., and a World Wide Web site. Printed atlases are not envisioned as part of this project.
