AON: Development of Sustainable Observations of Thermal State of Permafrost in North America and Russia: The U.S. Contribution to the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost

这项工作将协调使用标准设备和协议在阿拉斯加钻孔地点以及在俄罗斯选定和相当数量的地点收集数据。阿拉斯加和欧亚钻孔温度数据集将为重建过去的地表温度、评估未来近地表永久冻土温度和永久冻土边界的变化率提供基线，并为验证气候情景模型和温度再分析方法提供空间数据。该提案提供了美国对正在进行的全球永久冻土地面网络活动的贡献，该网络从全球分布的大量钻孔中获取温度，以便提供一个“快照”。冻土温度在时间和空间上的变化。该项目继续提供从小学（例如K-12）到在阿拉斯加和俄罗斯的博士后实习等各个层次的实地经验和教育参与机会。我们关于永久冻土温度测量和报告数据方法的技术手册为其他人提供了进行独立观测的程序。从我们的TSP项目中获得的数据在质量保证完成后立即免费提供。

This work will coordinate data collection using standard equipment and protocols at the Alaskan borehole sites and at a selected and comparable number of sites in Russia. The Alaskan and Eurasian borehole temperature data sets will provide the baseline to reconstruct past surface temperatures, to assess the future rates of change in near-surface permafrost temperatures and permafrost boundaries, and to provide spatial data for validation of climate scenario models and temperature reanalysis approaches. This proposal provides the US contribution to the ongoing activities of Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost that obtains temperatures in a large number of globally distributed boreholes in order to provide a ?snapshot? of permafrost temperatures in both time and space. The project continues to provide opportunities for field experience and educational participation at levels ranging from elementary school (e.g., K-12) through postdoctoral internships both in Alaska and in Russia. Our technical manual on methods for permafrost temperature measurements and reporting data provides others with the procedures to conduct independent observations. Data obtained from our TSP project becomes freely available soon after quality assurance is completed.
