Continued Development of the AMBS as an Integrated Online Resource for Marine and Geophysical Data from the Antarctic Region

该合同支持南极多波束测深和地球物理数据合成（AMBS）。AMBS是一个针对南大洋和南极洲的数据库，其主要重点是汇编由美国南极计划（USAP）研究船收集的多波束测深、地球物理和航行数据。这些数据对当前的研究活动至关重要，代表了重要的项目遗产。就更广泛的影响而言，AMBS将数据综合到区域地图中，以促进结果的传播。它还通过简单的基于web的界面以及专门的研究应用程序支持探索、可视化和关联。该奖项还支持通过南极主目录传播结果，该目录是USAP支持的每个研究项目的元数据记录档案。

This award supports the Antarctic Multibeam Bathymetry and geophysical data Synthesis (AMBS). The AMBS is a database for the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, whose primary focus is compilation of multibeam bathymetry, geophysical, and underway data collected by the US Antarctic Program (USAP) research ships. The data are critical to current research activities and represent an important program legacy. In terms of broader impacts, the AMBS synthesizes data into regional maps to facilitate the dissemination of results. It also supports exploration, visualization, and correlation through simple, web-based interfaces as well as specialized research applications. This award also supports dissemination of results through the Antarctic Master Directory, an archive of metadata records from each research project supported by the USAP.
