Community Planning for Ocean Obervations, Long Term Series and Observatory Systems

美国海洋局是由国家海洋学伙伴关系方案于2000年底设立的，作为一个国家办事处，以促进和便利建立一个综合和持续的海洋观测系统。2002年3月，举办了一次规划讲习班，为美国的综合和持续观测系统制定设计和实施计划。约110名与会者参加了讨论，讨论结果摘要载于题为“美国综合和可持续的海洋观测系统：设计和实施”的报告（Ocean.US，2002年）。PI在协调这些社区规划工作方面发挥了重要作用。他继续参与海洋.美国的活动将提供必要的连续性，以保持该倡议向前发展。下一年的主要工作将是派代表参加美国海洋学会，以确保基础研究仍然是综合海洋观测系统实施规划进程的一个重要组成部分;在海洋观测系统与新的海洋观测系统项目办公室之间发挥联络作用;在联邦规划与学术界和用户界之间发挥联系作用;随时了解发展援助委员会在美国海洋学会的活动;继续与积极参与组建区域协会的科学家进行互动;探讨与技术和工艺从研究到运行的过渡有关的问题;继续致力于制定高频雷达的植入计划，以测量美国沿海沃茨的表面电流;并跟上当前和新兴的生物和化学技术的观测系统。

Ocean.US was created by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program in late 2000 as a National Office to promote and facilitate the establishment of an integrated and sustained ocean observing system. In March 2002, a planning workshop was held to create a design and implementation plan for an integrated and sustained observing system for the United States. Some 110 attendees participated in discussions, the results of which are summarized in the report titled " An Integrated and Sustained Ocean Observing System (IOOS) for the United States: Design and Implementation" (Ocean.US, 2002). The PI has played an important role in coordinating these community-planning efforts. His continued participation in the Ocean.US activities will provide the continuity necessary to keep the initiative moving forward. The main effort in the coming year will be to provide representation at Ocean.US to ensure that basic research remains an important element of the integrated ocean observing system implementation planning process;fFunction as liaison between IOOS and the new OOI Project Office; act as an interface between federal planning and the academic and user communities; stay abreast of the DAC activities at Ocean.US; continue to interact with scientists active in the forming of the regional associations; explore issues associated with the transition of techniques and technology from research to operations; continue working on the development of an implantation plan for HF Radar for measuring surface currents in US Coastal waters; and keep abreast of current and emerging biological and chemical technology for Observing Systems.
