The Bermuda Testbed Mooring: A Community Resource

9819477迪基这项授予位于圣巴巴拉的加州大学和位于马萨诸塞州的斯托伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所的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一个深海系泊。这里的支持，与海军研究办公室的同伴奖合作，将在这2年期间更换现有系泊的大部分组件。这种全海洋深度系泊为各种海洋仪器提供了测试平台，对开发用于海洋监测的新传感器非常重要。它还提供海洋学参数（物理、化学和生物）以及包括飓风在内的大气层事件的影响的几乎连续的时间序列测量数据。它是正在进行的海洋与大气之间联系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.***
