9871120 Edson This Major Research Instrumentation award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution supports the development of a Nearshore Observatory for study of physical, biological, geological and chemical processes in the coastal zone near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. It will include a permanent station in 10 meters water depth outfitted with a variety of oceanographic sensors, as well as a satellite node in shallower water and a meteorological tower on the adjacent island. The synoptic set of data from all sensors will be available in real time to researchers via fiber optic cable connection and the World Wide Web. Additional sensors and experiments may be added for specific projects, providing capabilities to run controlled studies in a well parameterized setting. The observatory is expected to be used for a wide array of studies, including biological recruitment and population research, air-sea-bottom interaction study, and investigation into gas transfer and aerosol physics. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will provide cost-share support for at least 30% of total project costs. ***

9871120 Edson授予伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的这项重大研究仪器奖支持开发一个近岸观测站，用于研究马萨诸塞州玛莎葡萄园岛附近沿海地区的物理、生物、地质和化学过程。 它将包括一个10米水深的永久站，配备各种海洋传感器，以及一个浅水卫星节点和邻近岛屿的气象塔。 来自所有传感器的天气数据集将通过光纤电缆连接和万维网以真实的时间提供给研究人员。 可以为特定项目添加额外的传感器和实验，从而提供在良好的参数化设置中运行受控研究的能力。 预计该观测站将用于广泛的研究，包括生物补充和种群研究、空气-海洋-海底相互作用研究以及对气体传输和气溶胶物理学的调查。 伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将提供至少30%的项目总成本的费用分摊支持。 ***
