项目摘要

The Division of Polar Programs has been funding substantial scientific activities at Summit Station, Greenland (72°N 38°W, 3250 meters above sea level), for over twenty years. Summit Station hosts the Greenland Environmental Observatory (GEOSummit), a cooperation between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration with permission from the Danish Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland to provide long-term environmental measurements. Summit is the only high-elevation, free-tropospheric, inland environmental observatory in the Arctic which is manned throughout the year. Summit therefore fills a unique niche in the international scientific community?s global measurement capability. The Science Coordination Office (SCO) for Summit Station and the Greenland Ice Sheet serves in an advisory capacity to NSF?s Arctic Research Support and Logistics Program. SCO?s primary role is to present the needs and desires of the science community working on the Greenland Ice Sheet in discussions and decision making processes involving NSF, its primary logistics support contractor, and other stakeholders. The SCO also works with NSF, NSF?s contractor, and science teams to work out equitable and efficient use of resources, and strives to ensure that the wide range of science and support activities impact the pristine character of Summit as lightly as possible. SCO shares in the long-range goal of redeveloping Summit infrastructure in ways that will reduce long-term operation and maintenance costs, and reduce the emissions of pollutants by facilities on the station and the aircraft and traverse vehicles that visit. The SCO also helps coordinate visits to Summit for educational groups at all levels, from high school to post-graduate. The SCO will work closely with NSF and all relevant stakeholders in the design of a revitalized Summit Station where reducing operational and maintenance effort (and costs) will preserve the site for future science by reducing emissions. Additional scientific communities, including astronomy and astrophysics, have recently expressed interest in using Summit Station as an Arctic base for new observations. SCO will actively participate in discussions with all interested parties to develop a site plan to accommodate an influx of additional research activities while maintaining long-standing focus on climate-relevant research which requires clean air and snow conditions. SCO?s website is a keystone of communication to the science community, with several new features added over the past few years, including; a Google Earth based GIS recording activity in the region over the past 9 years, a virtual tour using Streetview images, a new Working at Summit section that targets new investigators, a comprehensive bibliography of published work near Summit, and a quarterly Newsletter). SCO will conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the web site to improve navigation, and will continue to add new features.

二十多年来，极地方案司一直在资助格陵兰岛(北纬72°，西经38°，海拔3250米)顶峰站的大量科学活动。顶峰站拥有格陵兰环境观测站(GEOSummit)，这是国家科学基金会(NSF)和国家海洋和大气管理局的合作项目，获得了格陵兰丹麦科学研究委员会的许可，以提供长期的环境测量。顶峰是北极唯一一个高海拔、自由对流层的内陆环境观测站，全年都有人值守。峰会因此填补了国际科学界的一个独特的利基--S的全球测量能力。顶峰站和格陵兰冰盖科学协调办公室(SCO)为美国国家科学基金会S北极研究支持和后勤计划提供咨询服务。上海合作组织-S的主要职责是在涉及美国国家科学基金会、其主要后勤支持承包商和其他利益攸关方的讨论和决策过程中，展示从事格陵兰冰盖工作的科学界的需求和愿望。上海合作组织还与美国国家科学基金会、美国国家科学基金会、S承包商和科学团队合作，公平有效地利用资源，努力确保广泛的科学和支持活动对峰会的原始性质造成尽可能少的影响。上海合作组织赞同重建峰会基础设施的长期目标，以降低长期运营和维护成本，并减少空间站设施以及来访的飞机和有轨电车的污染物排放。上海合作组织还帮助协调从高中到研究生的各级教育团体对峰会的访问。上海合作组织将与国家科学基金会和所有相关利益攸关方密切合作，设计一个重新焕发活力的峰会空间站，在那里减少运营和维护工作(和成本)，通过减少排放为未来的科学保留场地。包括天文学和天体物理学在内的其他科学界最近表示有兴趣将顶峰站作为新观测的北极基地。上海合作组织将积极参与与所有有关各方的讨论，制定场地计划，以容纳更多研究活动的涌入，同时保持长期专注于与气候有关的研究，这需要清洁的空气和雪条件。上海合作组织S网站是科学界交流的重点，在过去几年中增加了几个新功能，包括：过去9年基于谷歌地球的该地区地理信息系统记录活动，使用街景图像的虚拟参观，针对新研究人员的新的峰会工作部分，峰会附近已发表工作的全面书目，以及季度通讯)。上海合作组织将对该网站进行全面检修，以改善导航，并将继续增加新功能。
