Collaborative Research: A Bering Strait Ocean Observing System for the Pacific Inflow to the Arctic - a fundamental part of the Arctic Observing Network

该AON项目将支持白令海峡综合观测测量计划，该计划将把现场观测与白令海峡社区的传统知识以及4公里分辨率的冰-海洋模型ECCO 2（估计海洋环流和气候第二阶段）的结果结合起来。 将测量白令海峡的温度、盐度和流速数据以及海洋通量的数据产品，以满足许多科学、气候和工业（例如，石油/天然气勘探，航运）的研究。该项目将通过一个“一站式”网站（在国家档案馆永久存档），向所有有关各方提供这些数据和数据产品。它将利用一个单独供资的项目（由土著公司Kawerak公司领导）的成果，与土著社区发展双向信息交流，该项目记录了白令海峡地区洋流和变化的传统知识。此外，弥合观测者和建模者之间的传统差距，它将进行试点研究，为未来的AON观测策略，必须结合联合收割机的观测和高质量的建模。 这项工作将在白令海峡地区数十年的测量基础上继续并扩大，并构成NSF对俄美北极长期普查（RUSALCA）伙伴关系的贡献。

This AON project will support a comprehensive observationally-based measurement scheme for the Bering Strait, which will combine in situ observations with traditional knowledge from the Bering Strait communities and results from a 4km resolution ice-ocean model, ECCO2 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean phase II). Temperature, salinity and velocity data from the Bering Strait and data products of oceanic fluxes will be measured to meet the needs of numerous scientific, climate and industrial (e.g., oil/gas exploration, shipping) studies in the region. Via a "one-stop" website (with permanent archiving at national archives), the project will provide these data and data products to all interested parties. It will develop a two-way exchange of information with native communities, drawing on results from a separately funded project (led by the native corporation Kawerak, Inc) documenting traditional knowledge of ocean currents and change in the Bering Strait region. Furthermore, bridging the traditional gap between observationalists and modelers, it will undertake a pilot study for future AON observational strategies which must surely combine observations and high quality modeling. The effort continues and expands upon decades of measurements in the Bering Strait region and constitutes an NSF contribution to the interagency Russian-American Long-term Census of the Arctic (RUSALCA) partnership.
