0317888TolstoyThis award to Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University in the City of New York provides support for participation of LDEO researchers in the multi-agency Sperm Whale Seismic Study (SWSS), an investigation of behavioral response of endangered sperm whales to anthropogenic sound. LDEO plans to participate in the 2003 field season operations in the Gulf of Mexico, providing the R/V Ewing as a research platform for interdisciplinary research, and conducting an investigation of acoustic source and transmission properties of the R/V Ewing airgun arrays and other acoustic sources on the vessel. The present award will cover costs to modify an existing spar buoy as an acoustic receiver for the field program in Gulf of Mexico, as well as participation in the experiment. It will also support a postdoctoral researcher to analyze and model data from the Ewing array, and it will support a study of acoustic propagation from a R/V Ewing cruise in the Gulf of California in fall 2002.***

这个奖项授予纽约市哥伦比亚大学的Lamont-Doherty地球观测站(LDEO)，为LDEO研究人员参与多机构抹香鲸地震研究(SWSS)提供支持，SWSS是一项调查濒危抹香鲸对人为声音的行为反应的研究。LDEO计划参与2003年墨西哥湾的野外作业，提供R/V尤文作为跨学科研究的研究平台，并对R/V尤文气枪阵列和船上其他声源的声源和传输特性进行调查。本合同将用于支付将现有的Spar浮标改装为墨西哥湾现场计划的声学接收器的费用，以及参与实验的费用。它还将支持一名博士后研究人员对尤文阵列的数据进行分析和建模，并将支持2002年秋季加利福尼亚州海湾R/V尤文邮轮的声传播研究。*
