Rhines abstract06-31881This award supports preparation of a research monograph summarizing results from the Arctic-Subarctic Ocean Flux program (ASOF). This study of the oceanic climate and climate change of the Arctic-Subarctic region is a large, international effort that is a key component of global climate studies. The most basic dynamic balances of the global overturning circulation of the oceans are under debate. Global change may alter theoverturning circulation and with it, global climate and ecosystems. High resolution climate observations with radically new platforms, sustained in time, can guide the numerical climate models which are increasingly relied upon in matters of policy and planning. Beyond physical science, this ASOF has implications to ecosystems in one of the most biologically productive sites on Earth, and a region of strong uptake of carbon from the atmosphere. The work will provide bio-optical profiles and sections at high resolution in regions of unusually high biological productivity. The interdependence of fisheries and physical oceanography in this region is extremely strong, as primary productivity is associated with buoyant, low-salinity layers which trap phytoplankton.

莱茵斯摘要06-31881该奖项支持编写一本总结北极-次北冰洋通量计划(ASOF)成果的研究专著。这项关于北极-亚北极地区海洋气候和气候变化的研究是一项大型的国际努力，是全球气候研究的关键组成部分。全球海洋颠覆环流的最基本动态平衡正在辩论中。全球变化可能会改变全球气候和生态系统，从而颠覆循环.高分辨率的气候观测具有全新的平台，并及时得到支持，可以指导在政策和规划问题上越来越依赖的数值气候模型。除了物理科学，这种ASOF还对地球上生物生产力最高的地点之一的生态系统产生了影响，也是一个从大气中大量吸收碳的地区。这项工作将在生物生产力异常高的地区提供高分辨率的生物光学剖面和切片。该区域渔业和自然海洋学的相互依存性非常强，因为初级生产力与捕获浮游植物的浮力低盐度层有关。
