Arctic-Subarctic Ocean Flux Monograph

莱茵河摘要06 - 31881该奖项支持编写一本总结北极-亚北极海洋通量计划（ASOF）结果的研究专著。这项关于北极-亚北极区域海洋气候和气候变化的研究是一项大型的国际努力，是全球气候研究的一个关键组成部分。全球海洋翻转环流的最基本动态平衡正在辩论之中。全球变化可能会改变翻转环流，从而改变全球气候和生态系统。高分辨率的气候观测具有全新的平台，并能及时持续，可指导政策和规划事务中日益依赖的数值气候模式。 除了物理科学之外，这种ASOF对地球上生物生产力最高的地区之一的生态系统以及从大气中吸收大量碳的地区也有影响。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。该区域渔业和物理海洋学的相互依赖性非常强，因为初级生产力与捕获浮游植物的浮力低盐度层有关。

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.
