A Shelf / Slope Discussion Group and Workshop for OOI Related Research

作为海洋观测站倡议（OOI）科学规划过程的一部分，正在提议成立一个陆架/斜坡过程讨论小组。这项工作旨在为先锋阵列提供自下而上的科学规划，先锋阵列是一个专注于大陆架断裂交换过程的沿海天文台。更广泛的影响该计划预计，研讨会将发挥重要作用，将感兴趣的科学用户的注意力集中在先锋阵列前所未有的能力和天文台可以回答的科学问题上。组织团队将负责制作一份白皮书，总结研讨会讨论的共识。

As part of the science planning process for the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), it is being proposed to form a Shelf/Slope Processes Discussion Group. This effort is aimed at providing bottom-up science planning for the Pioneer Array, a coastal observatory focused on shelfbreak exchange processes.Broader Impacts The Program anticipates that the workshop will play an important role in focusing the attention of interested science users on both the unprecedented capabilities of the Pioneer Array and the scientific questions which can be answered with the observatory. The organizing team will be charged with producing a white paper summary of the consensus from the discussion at the workshop.
