This project supports the global measurement of carbon isotope tracers as part of the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP). The US component of GO-SHIP typically occupies 2 or 3 major oceanic hydrographic sections per year. The team will sample a subset of these to determine changes in 14C and 13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). These data provide key metrics for climate and earth-system models and can be used by the broader research community for a diverse set of scientific applications, such as climate model development and calibration. Both institutions will also endeavor to engage postdoctoral researchers supported under separate funding, contributing to the training of the next generation of scientists.Carbon isotopic data affords key insights into ocean processes that are not available from any other measurements: 14C provides high signal/noise quantification of decadal-scale penetration of anthropogenic perturbation through the bottom of the thermocline and into the deep sea. It also provides key insights into the global overturning circulation by documenting return flow of Southern Ocean intermediate waters to the sea surface. Delta 14C is critical to quantifying the air-sea CO2 gas exchange rate. For 13C, the air-sea 13C disequilibrium is readily measured, thus quantifying the uptake of the anthropogenic CO2 perturbation at the sea surface. When combined with the accumulation of anthropogenic 13C changes in the ocean interior, it is possible to quantify basin-scale redistribution of anthropogenic CO2 in the ocean interior from observations alone. These processes are difficult, if not impossible to examine with synthetic anthropogenic tracers like Chlorofluorocarbon and with conventional C system measurements. The availability of carbon isotope data will aid a wide range of studies including climate change, oceanic anthropogenic CO2, thermocline ventilation, thermohaline overturning rates, air-sea gas exchange rates, biological cycling rates, and model evaluation or calibration. As GO-SHIP cruise schedules are planned, the team will carefully evaluate which legs would yield the best science return from the limited analytical capacity. Sampling will likely focus on long, meridional sections in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans where a strong signal is anticipated, and on any other areas where measurements have been lacking. The water samples will be transported to the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry facility (NOSAMS) for analysis. The sampling design, final quality control, and submission of the data to the CLIVAR and Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO) and to the Ocean Carbon Data System (OCADS) will be performed at the University of Washington.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持全球测量碳同位素示踪剂，作为全球海洋船舶水文调查方案的一部分。GO-SHIP的美国部分通常每年占据2或3个主要的海洋水文剖面。该团队将对其中的一部分进行采样，以确定溶解无机碳（DIC）的14 C和13 C的变化。这些数据为气候和地球系统模型提供了关键指标，可被更广泛的研究界用于各种科学应用，如气候模型开发和校准。这两个机构还将奋进聘请博士后研究人员在单独的资金支持下，有助于下一代科学家的培训。碳同位素数据提供了关键的洞察力，海洋过程是从任何其他测量：14 C提供了高信号/噪声量化的十年尺度的渗透人为扰动通过底部的温跃层和深海。它还通过记录南大洋中间沃茨向海面的回流，提供了对全球翻转环流的关键见解。Delta 14 C对于量化海-气CO2气体交换率至关重要。对于13 C，海气13 C不平衡很容易测量，从而量化吸收的人为CO2扰动在海面。当与海洋内部人为13 C变化的积累相结合时，仅从观测就可以量化海洋内部人为CO2的流域尺度再分配。这些过程是困难的，如果不是不可能检查与合成人为示踪剂，如氯氟烃和传统的C系统测量。碳同位素数据的可用性将有助于广泛的研究，包括气候变化、海洋人为CO2、温跃层通风、温盐翻转率、海气交换率、生物循环率和模型评估或校准。随着GO-SHIP巡航计划的制定，该团队将仔细评估哪些航段将从有限的分析能力中获得最佳的科学回报。采样可能会集中在大西洋和太平洋中预期会有强烈信号的长的、纬向的部分，以及缺乏测量的任何其他区域。水样将被运送到国家海洋科学加速器质谱设施（NOSAMS）进行分析。采样设计、最终质量控制以及向CLIVAR和碳水文数据办公室（CCHDO）和海洋碳数据系统（OCADS）提交数据的工作将在华盛顿大学进行。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来提供支持。
