Provision of A Ice Reconnaissance Petty Officer to NSF For The Purpose Of Providing Ice Services To The U.S.C.G. Icebreaker Healy During The Summer, 2005 Cruises.

该奖项支持美国国家冰中心（NIC）在U.S.C.G.上提供冰分析和侦察服务。破冰船希利在2005年夏季巡航。这些巡航包括美国破冰船第二次通过北极穿越北冰洋。冰支架将由四个一般区域组成：1）加拿大冰务局（CIS）IceVue系统的运营，2）基于从国家冰中心（NIC）、CIS和其他适当来源获取的遥感图像和其他数据获取、分析和生产产品，3）Healy直升机资产的冰侦察，（4）在不妨碍其他工作的基础上进行冰情观测。国家情报中心的使命是提供最高质量的战略和战术冰服务，以满足美国国家利益的业务要求，并为美国政府机构提供专门的气象和海洋学服务。这包括提供全球海冰分析、预报、展望和所有北极和南极海域边缘海冰区内的船舶路线建议，并酌情提供冰情侦察服务。该中心位于马里兰州的苏特兰，结合了美国海军、国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）和美国海岸警卫队的技术、人员和财政资源，以完成这一使命。

AbstractKelly This award supports the National Ice Center of the United States (NIC) to provide Ice Analysis and Reconnaissance Services aboard the U.S.C.G. Icebreaker Healy during the Summer 2005 cruises. The cruises included the second transit of a US icebreaker across the Arctic Ocean via the North Pole. The ice support will be comprised by four general areas: 1) operation of the Canadian Ice Service's (CIS) IceVue system, 2) acquisition, analysis and production of products based on remotely sensed imagery and other data acquired from the National Ice Center (NIC), the CIS and other appropriate sources, 3) ice reconnaissance from Healy's helicopter asset, and 4) taking of ice observations on a not-to-interfere basis with other duties. The mission of the NIC is to provide the highest quality strategic and tactical ice services tailored to meet the operational requirements of U.S. national interests and to provide specialized meteorological and oceanographic services to United States government agencies. This includes the provision of global sea ice analyses, forecasts, outlooks and ship routing recommendations within the marginal sea ice zone of all Arctic and Antarctic seas and the provision of ice reconnaissance services where appropriate. The Center, located in Suitland, Maryland, combines the technology, staffing and financial resources of the United States Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the United States Coast Guard to fulfill this mission.
