The Bermuda Atlantic Time Series Program: JGOFS Component

9301950 克纳普 这项工作将继续进行美国联合全球渔业研究所百慕大大西洋时间序列研究，为期第二个五年。该监测站位于百慕大东南约75公里处，自1988年10月开始取样以来的49个月内，已进行了67次巡航。 这些巡航包括49次进行全套测量的核心巡航、13次春季水华和5次验证巡航，以寻找岛屿效应并估计该地区的空间变异程度。 这些考察的结果已在数据报告和同行审查的出版物中分发给海洋学界。 该项目的目的是继续相同的测量和协议方案，以满足美国JGOFS时间序列站的要求。 未来几年的唯一区别是通过溶解有机碳的核心测量，增加pCO2测量以及数据验证和分发能力的升级来补充该计划。 在过去的4年里，该站创造的理解和平台机会提供了丰富的基础设施，其中也嵌入了个人研究项目。在另外5年的支持下，将进一步阐明控制海洋中碳和相关生物元素随时间变化的通量的过程。

9301950 KNAP This effort will continue the U.S. JGOFS Bermuda Atlantic Time- series Study (BATS) for a second five year period. This station, approximately 75 km southeast of Bermuda, has been occupied for 67 cruises in the 49 months since sampling began in October 1988. These cruises included 49 core cruises where the entire suite of measurements is conducted, 13 spring bloom and 5 validation cruises to look for island effects and to estimate the extent of spatial variability in this region. The results of these cruises have been distributed to the oceanographic community in data reports and peer-reviewed publications. The aim of this project is to continue the same measurement and protocol scheme in order to fulfill the requirements of a US JGOFS time-series station. The only differences for the next few years is to supplement the program by core measurements of dissolved organic carbon, the addition of pCO2 measurements and the upgrading of capabilities for data validation and distribution. The understanding and platform opportunities created by this Station over past 4 years has provided a rich infrastructure in which individual research projects are also imbedded. With another 5 years of support the processes controlling the time-varying flux of carbon and associated biogenic elements in the ocean will be further elucidated.
