This Major Research Instrumentation project will acquire a suite of instruments that will support and expand oceanographic studies in the Arctic Ocean during the International Polar Year (IPY). Specifically, the instruments will enhance the oceanographic observing component of the nascent Arctic Observing Network. The instrumentation to be acquired includes: Moored Profilers; Upward-looking Sonars; Bottom Pressure Recorders; Ice-tethered Profilers; Polar Profiling Floats; and Arctic Winch Profilers. These instruments will be managed by the Physical Oceanographic Observing Laboratory (POOL) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and will be available to the broader Arctic oceanography community. Data returned from these instruments will support studies of ocean processes, facilitate numerical model initialization and validation, and stimulate general interest in Arctic issues. Research and understanding that builds on these the data acquired by these instruments will lead to a better appreciation of the role of the Arctic in the Earth's climate system. An international partnership with projects in Canada, France, Germany, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom) will provide broad spatial coverage of the Arctic Ocean during IPY. The addition of these instruments to the Arctic Observing Network, the data they obtain, and the knowledge and understanding that will result, will be an important contribution to the legacy of the International Polar Year. Data and information about the instruments and the science will be available at the "Polar Discovery" Web site (http://polardiscovery.whoi.edu), and communicated more broadly through a collaboration with the NSF-funded IPY education project "Live from the Poles" (ESI-0632219).

这一重大研究仪器项目将获得一套仪器，用于支持和扩大国际极地年期间北冰洋的海洋学研究。具体而言，这些仪器将加强新生的北极观测网络的海洋观测部分。 拟购置的仪器包括：系泊剖面仪、上视声纳、海底压力记录仪、冰系剖面仪、极地剖面浮标和北极绞盘剖面仪。这些仪器将由伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的物理海洋观测实验室管理，并将提供给更广泛的北极海洋学界。从这些仪器返回的数据将支持海洋过程的研究，促进数值模型的初始化和验证，并激发对北极问题的普遍兴趣。在这些仪器获得的数据的基础上进行研究和了解，将有助于更好地了解北极在地球气候系统中的作用。与加拿大、法国、德国、挪威、俄罗斯、瑞典和联合王国的项目建立的国际伙伴关系将在国际极地年期间提供北冰洋的广泛空间覆盖。将这些仪器加入北极观测网，它们所获得的数据以及由此产生的知识和了解将是对国际极地年遗产的重要贡献。有关这些仪器和科学的数据和信息将在“极地发现”网站（http：//www.example.com）上提供，并通过与国家科学基金会资助的国际和平年教育项目“极地实况”（ESI-0632219）的合作进行更广泛的交流。polardiscovery.whoi.edu
