Collaborative Research on the Northeast Water Polynya: Phytoplankton/Zooplankton Dynamics

这项建议是一项综合科学调查的一部分，目的是研究位于格陵兰东北部附近的东北水域(新的)波利尼亚的北冰洋、大气、海冰和生物的性质，以便对北冰洋陆架斜坡过程有一个全面的了解。新计划的这一部分将为评估浮游植物和浮游动物生物量和类群的大小和时空变化、初级和新的生产力及其环境控制以及与新的水团和陆架过程影响相关的参数的研究提供补充数据。

This proposal is part of an integrated scientific investigation to study the properties of the Arctic ocean, atmosphere, sea-ice and biology in the Northeast Water (NEW) Polynya, which occurs near northeastern Greenland, in order to gain an integrated understanding of Arctic shelf-slope processes. This element of the NEW program will provide complimentary data to studies evaluating the magnitude and spacial-temporal variation of phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass and taxa, primary and new productivity and its environmental controls, as well as associated parameters related to the impact NEW on water masses and shelf processes.
