Synthesis and Modeling Project of the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study - U.S.JGOFS: Transmissometer Data Validation and Correction

在这个项目中，德克萨斯农工大学的研究人员将对夏威夷海洋时间序列(HOT)和百慕大大西洋时间序列(BATS)过去十年收集的透射仪数据进行分析、质量控制和调整。这些数据是在大西洋和太平洋的固定地点收集的，提供了关于季节和年际变化的重要数据，涵盖了这两个地点的所有季节。未经处理或预处理的数据驻留在适当的实验室中，但数据中存在几个不同的特征错误，使得它们在目前的条件下不能用于建模和分析。研究人员将分析数据，控制其质量，并做出必要的调整。调整后的数据将用于评估区域和季节性波束衰减-颗粒有机碳关系。经过检查和调整，数据将在HOT、BATS和TAMU网络服务器上发布。将对这些数据进行季节和年际变化分析，并将向科学界提供这些数据，以便对海洋碳循环进行建模或评估现有模型的产出。

ABSTRACTOCE-0137171In this project, researchers at the Texas A & M University will perform analysis, quality control, and adjustment of the transmissometer data from the Hawaii Oceanographic Time-Series (HOT) and from the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS) data sets collected during the last decade. These data were collected at fixed locations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and provide important data on seasonal and interannual variations, covering all seasons at both sites. The unprocessed or pre-processed data reside in the appropriate laboratories, but several different characteristic errors are in the data, making them unreliable for modeling and analysis in their present condition. The researchers will analyze the data, control their quality and make necessary adjustments. The adjusted data will be used for assessment of the regional and seasonal Beam Attenuation - Particulate Organic Carbon relationships. After checking and adjustment, the data will be posted on HOT, BATS and TAMU web-servers. The data will be analyzed for seasonal and interannual variability and will be made available to the scientific community for the purpose of modeling ocean carbon cycles or evaluating the output from existing models.
