SGER: Installation of Biochemical/Optical Sensors on Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI) Moorings

该项目将在两个系泊装置上安装一个硝酸盐传感器和一套光学传感器，这些系泊装置将在2002年大陆架-盆地相互作用（SBI）实地项目期间沿楚科奇大陆架部署。目前资助的SBI系泊项目在其仪器阵列中不包括任何生物化学或光学传感器，SBI科学指导委员会强烈建议增加这类传感器，以更好地了解影响大陆架和深盆地之间能量和物质交换的物理和生物过程的可变性。SBI系泊PI已经同意在他们的阵列上容纳这些仪器。该项目将试图增加这些仪器的操作时间和能力，并将在SBI实地方案的第一年提供初级营养物和上层水柱光学特性的记录。

This project will install a nitrate sensor and a set of optical sensors on two moorings that will be deployed along the Chukchi shelf during the Shelf-Basins Interactions (SBI) field program in 2002. The currently funded SBI mooring program does not include any biochemical or optical sensors in its instrumentation array and the SBI Scientific Steering Committee has strongly recommended that such types of sensors be added to provide a better understanding of the variability of physical and biological processes that influence the exchange of energy and material between the shelf and the deep basin. The SBI mooring PI's have agreed to accommodate these instruments on their array. This project will attempt to increase the operational time and capability of these instruments and will provide a record of a primary nutrient and the optical properties of the upper water column during the first year of the SBI field program.
