U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study: Planning and Data Management

在这个项目中，伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的研究人员将继续美国联合全球通量研究(U.S.JGOFS)的规划和数据管理办公室(PO/DMO)的运作。自1986年该计划开始以来，美国JGOFS的规划一直得到一定程度的资助，并于1994年增加了一项特定的数据管理办公室拨款。总体而言，采购干事/债务管理办公室的目标是支持完成美国联合全球服务中心的活动和促进联合全球服务中心的成就。该办公室将通过支持综合工作和与海洋学家同行、地球系统科学家和广大公众的接触，特别努力确保JGOFS遗产的安全。关键的重要性将是建立一个高质量的数据档案，它将超过美国的JGOFS计划，并为研究海洋过程的未来几代生物地球化学家服务，特别是在全球变化的背景下。过去四年来，美国JGOFS PIs的研究经费一直在减少，但百慕大大西洋时间序列(BATS)和夏威夷海洋时间序列(HOT)站以及综合和建模项目(SMP)的活动仍在继续，2001/2002年资助的项目可能在2004/2005年结束。本合同项下的PO/DMO活动将用于为这些项目的最后阶段提供后勤支持。因此，这项提案中所描述的活动将持续到2003年，届时美国联合全球海洋观测系统社区预计将在华盛顿特区主办最后一次大型国际联合全球海洋观测系统开放科学会议。此后，PO/DMO的首要任务将是以CD/DVD或其他更永久的媒体制作和分发最终的美国JGOFS数据产品。

ABSTRACTOCE-0097291In this project, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will continue operations of the Planning and Data Management Office (PO/DMO) of the U.S. Joint Global Flux Study (U.S.JGOFS) U.S.JGOFS planning has been funded at some level since the inception of the program in 1986, and a specific Data Management Office grant was added in 1994. Overall, the goal of the PO/DMO is to support the completion of U.S. JGOFS activities and the promotion of JGOFS accomplishments. The Office will work especially toward securing the JGOFS legacy through support of synthesis efforts and outreach to fellow oceanographers, earth system scientists and the public at large. Of key importance will be the production of a high-quality data archive that outlasts the U.S. JGOFS Program and serves future generations of biogeochemists studying ocean processes, especially in the context of global change. A ramping down of research funding to U.S. JGOFS PIs has been underway for the past four years, but activities continue at the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS) and Hawaii Ocean Time Series (HOT) stations and in the Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP) though 2003, with projects funded in 2001/2002 presumably ending in the 2004/2005 time frame. The PO/DMO activities under this award will be directed toward providing logistical support for the final stages of these projects. Activities described in this proposal would thus continue through 2003, when the U.S.JGOFS community is expected to host the last major International JGOFS Open Science Conference in Washington, DC. Thereafter, the top priority of the PO/DMO will be to produce and distribute the final U.S. JGOFS data products on CD/DVD or other more permanent media.
