This proposed research will catalyze a long-term collaboration between U.S. and South Korean earth system scientists. It builds upon utilizing the Korean Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) newly launched icebreaker R/V Araon. KOPRI has outfitted the R/V Araon with selected research grade instruments to study atmospheric CO, NO/NO2, O3, CO2, Hg (g), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) along with chemical, physical and biological oceanographic parameters. The objectives include to1. Visit and examine the R/V Araon for its suitability for ocean-atmosphere research applications.2. Install and operate a ship-borne turbulence and motion correction flux system and chemical analyzers on the R/V Araon jackstaff tower and deck railing to survey and evaluate the suitability of the vessel for ship-borne research.Broader impacts: This project will develop a long-term collaboration between Korean and US scientists in utilizing one of the world's technologically most advanced ice breakers and research vessels, the R/V Araon. This effort is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together scientists with expertise in micrometeorology, biogeochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, oceanography, and Polar Regions. U.S. scientists will gain access to a unique observational research platform that will conduct yearly pole-to-pole cruises in the foreseeable future. Consequently, besides providing unique opportunities for oceanic and atmospheric research, this program will be a rare opportunity to observe changes in global chemical climate over the remote ocean and to quantify the processes controlling these changes. These activities are also expected to catalyze collaboration in other disciplines such as biology, marine geology and geophysics, cartography, and physical and chemical oceanography.

这项研究将促进美国和韩国地球系统科学家之间的长期合作。它利用了韩国极地研究所新发射的破冰船R/V Araon。KOPRI为Araon号研究船配备了选定的研究级仪器，用于研究大气中的CO、NO/NO2、O3、CO2、Hg（g）和挥发性有机化合物沿着化学、物理和生物海洋学参数。目标包括1。参观并检查R/V Araon是否适合海洋大气研究应用。在“Araon”号研究船的桅杆塔和甲板栏杆上安装和操作船载湍流和运动修正通量系统以及化学分析仪，以调查和评估该船是否适合进行船载研究。更广泛的影响：该项目将发展韩国和美国科学家之间的长期合作，利用世界上技术最先进的破冰船和研究船之一“Araon”号研究船。这项工作是高度跨学科的，汇集了在微气象学，地球化学，大气化学，海洋学和极地地区的专业知识的科学家。美国科学家将获得一个独特的观测研究平台，该平台将在可预见的未来进行年度极地巡航。因此，除了为海洋和大气研究提供独特的机会外，该计划还将是一个难得的机会，可以观察偏远海洋的全球化学气候变化，并量化控制这些变化的过程。预计这些活动还将促进生物学、海洋地质学和海洋物理学、制图学以及物理和化学海洋学等其他学科的合作。
