Collaborative Research: Integration and Interpretation of the Global WOCE Tritium and Helium Isotope Data Set

9819650 Lott这是四个机构的四个PI中的一个小组提案的组成部分，他们请求资金来整合、质量控制、传播和开始解释由四个美国实验室在WOCE(世界海洋循环实验)水文计划期间收集的全球氚/氦同位素数据集。PIS计划与相应的欧洲小组提出的一个类似项目进行协调，还将与其他示踪剂项目合作，例如最近资助的分析氯氟化碳的小组。该项目的主要目标是向海洋学界提供一个综合的、有质量控制的数据集，供世界海洋环境大会的AIMS(AIMS=分析、解释、建模和综合)阶段使用。不太明确的是，私人投资司提议以一套手稿的形式总结氦/氚同位素油田，这些手稿以共同格式编写，载有关于生产数据集的技术信息，以及对油田主要特征的科学讨论。随后将确定需要与世界海洋生态系统其他调查人员合作解决的科学问题。这个特殊的项目将进行最终的质量控制和分析，并让原来的PI有时间和一些资源来完成他对这个项目的义务。

9819650LottThis is one component of a group proposal among four PIs from four institutions requesting funds to integrate, quality-control, disseminate, and begin the interpretation of the global Tritium/Helium isotope data set collected by four US laboratories during the WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment) Hydrographic Program. PIs plan to coordinate with a similar project proposed by the corresponding European groups, and will also collaborate with other tracer programs, such as the recently-funded team analyzing ChlorofluoroCarbons (CFC). The main goal of the project is to make an integrated, quality-controlled data set available to the oceanographic community for use in the AIMS phase of WOCE (AIMS = Analysis, Interpretation, Modeling, and Synthesis). Less explicitly, the PIs propose to summarize the He/Tr isotope fields in a set of manuscripts, written in common format and containing technical information on the production of the data sets, as well as scientific discussion of the main features of the fields. These would be followed by the identification of scientific issues to be addressed collaboratively with other WOCE investigators. This particular project will carry out final quality control and analysis, and allow the original PI time and some resources to complete his obligations to this program.
