The Bermuda Testbed Mooring: A Community Resource

9819477Dickey这项授予加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的合同，转包给马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，将支持百慕大测试床系泊设备(BTM)的维护，百慕大测试床系泊设备是位于大西洋中西部百慕大附近的深海系泊设备。这里的支持，与海军研究办公室的伙伴奖合作，将在这两年内取代现有系泊设备的大部分部件。这种全海洋深度的系泊设备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具有重要意义。它还提供了几乎连续的海洋参数(物理、化学和生物)测量以及包括飓风在内的大气事件的影响的时间序列。它是正在进行的海洋和大气之间联系研究的重要组成部分。

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.***
