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

这项工作将使用标准设备和协议在阿拉斯加的钻孔地点和在俄罗斯选定的和数量相当的地点协调数据收集工作。阿拉斯加和欧亚地区的钻孔温度数据集将提供基准，以重建过去的地表温度，评估近地表永久冻土温度和永久冻土边界未来的变化率，并为气候假想模型和温度再分析方法的验证提供空间数据。这项提议为全球永久冻土陆地网络正在进行的活动提供了美国的贡献，该网络在全球分布的大量钻孔中获取温度，以便提供快照？在时间和空间上的永久冻土温度。该项目继续在阿拉斯加和俄罗斯提供从小学(如K-12)到博士后实习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数据报告方法的技术手册为其他国家提供了进行独立观测的程序。从我们的TSP项目获得的数据在质量保证完成后不久就可以免费获得。

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.
