Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS) Mooring Design and Cruise Support

阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学的国际北极研究中心（IARC）要求伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）系泊作业和工程小组（MOE）的专业知识，设计2021年夏季在北极部署的9个冰下地下系泊，为期两年。MOE人员还将提供系泊操作专业知识，并将参与从挪威Kirkenes开始的部署巡航。WHOI将考虑到环境因素（如洋流和海冰），在建造系泊之前确定科学和仪器要求。在设计阶段之后，UAF和MOE团队将监督系泊的建造。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

The International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has requested the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s (WHOI) Mooring Operations and Engineering Groups (MOE) expertise in the design of nine under ice subsurface moorings being deployed in the Arctic in the summer of 2021 for a period of two years. MOE personnel will also provide mooring operations expertise and will participate on the deployment cruise being staged from Kirkenes, Norway. WHOI will define the science and instrumentation requirements prior to the construction of the moorings by taking into consideration environmental factors (such as ocean currents and sea ice). Following the design phase, the UAF and MOE teams will oversee the construction of the moorings.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.
