The Bermuda Testbed Mooring: A Community Resource

这份授予加州大学圣巴巴拉分校和马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的分包合同将支持百慕大试验台系泊（BTM）的维护，BTM是大西洋中西部百慕大附近的深海系泊。在这2年的时间里，该公司将与海军研究办公室合作，替换现有系泊系统的大部分部件。这种全海洋深度系泊为各种海洋仪器提供了一个测试平台，对于开发用于海洋监测的新型传感器非常重要。它还提供海洋参数（物理、化学和生物）以及包括飓风在内的大气事件影响的几乎连续的时间序列测量。它是正在进行的关于海洋和大气之间联系的研究的一个重要组成部分

9819477DickeyThis award to University of California at San Barbara with subcontract to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts will support maintenance of the Bermuda Testbed Mooring (BTM), a deep ocean mooring near Bermuda in the central western Atlantic Ocean. Support here, in collaboration with a companion award from the Office of Naval Research, will replace most components of the existing mooring during this 2-year period. This full ocean depth mooring provides a test platform for a variety of oceanographic instrumentation, and is important in development of new sensors for ocean monitoring. It also provides a nearly continuous time series of measurements of oceanographic parameters (physical, chemical and biological) as well as impact of atmospheric events including hurricanes. It is an important component of ongoing research into the links between ocean and atmosphere.***
