Workshop Proposal: The Summit Station Science Summit

极地项目办公室二十多年来一直资助格陵兰萨米特站（72°N 38°W，海拔3250米）的大量科学活动。Summit是北极唯一的高海拔、自由对流层、内陆环境观测站，目前全年有人值守。了解当前和发展中的北极科学问题以及在Summit Station进行的研究如何解决这些问题，对于确定Summit Station的科学计划优先事项和运营计划具有重要作用。本次为期1.5天的研讨会的目标包括：A）阐明Summit站测量的现状，B）说明数据的当前用途，C）定义在北极科学背景下收集的全年数据的效用，D）确定冬季参数的可变性和科学分析必须监测的准确性。研讨会将在NSF举行，将峰会站收集的数据的各利益攸关方和潜在科学用户以及更广泛的北极科学家聚集在一起，考虑峰会站？在北极研究中的未来作用。 该提案的智力价值将体现在定义可以通过在Summit Station进行研究来解决的重要科学问题，并定义全年测量所需的测量和准确度以回答这些问题。将通过关于Summit Station数据现状和应用的讲习班报告实现更广泛的影响，该报告将包括关于Summit Station未来科学目标和测量的社区建议。

The Office 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 is the only high-elevation, free-tropospheric, inland environmental observatory in the Arctic which is currently manned throughout the year. Understanding the current and developing Arctic science questions and how research conducted at Summit Station can address those questions plays an important role in determining science program priorities and operational plans for Summit Station. Goals for this 1.5-day workshop include; A) elucidating the current state of Summit Station measurements, B) illustrating the current uses of the data, C) defining the utility of the year-round data that is collected in the context of Arctic science, and D) determining the variability of wintertime parameters and the accuracy to which they must be monitored for scientific analysis.The workshop will be held at NSF and bring together various stakeholders and potential scientific users of data collected at Summit Station, as well as broader Arctic Scientists, to consider Summit Station?s future role in Arctic research. The intellectual merit of the proposal will be realized in defining the important science questions that can be addressed by research at Summit Station and defining the measurements and accuracies needed for year-round measurements to answer those questions. Broader impacts will be realized through the workshop report on the current state and applications of Summit Station data that will include community-based recommendations on future science goals and measurements for Summit Station.
