A Testbed Mooring Program for Interdisciplinary Measurements

9415667迪基南加州大学将开展一个项目，以促进在百慕大附近的一个系泊试验台上进行海洋科学研究的新的和现有的传感器和系统的开发、测试和校准。该项目的目标是作为百慕大大西洋时序(BATS)、JGOFS和GLOBEC全球变化研究项目的一部分，测试用于长期部署的各种传感器。该项目将利用由海军研究办公室赞助的现有系泊设备Altomoor II。试验台系泊设备将起到两个重要作用：1)为开发和测试新出现的跨学科传感器和系统提供平台；2)提供高频、长期跨学科数据，以采样与上层海洋物理、光学、生物学、生物地球化学和碳通量有关的变量，并在使用船舶和沉积物捕集器定期采样的地点进行采样。该项目最初将侧重于光学和声学仪器，并将促进仪器开发者和海洋科学家之间更牢固的工作关系。

9415667 Dickey The University of Southern California will undertake a project to facilitate development, testing, and calibration of new and existing sensors and systems for ocean science research on a testbed mooring near Bermuda. The goal of this project is to test various sensors for long-term deployments as part of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series (BATS), JGOFS, and GLOBEC global change research projects. The project will make use of an existing mooring, Altomoor II, that is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The testbed mooring will serve two important functions: 1) to provide a platform for developing and testing emerging interdisciplinary sensors and systems and 2) to provide high frequency, long-term interdisciplinary data to sample variables relevant to upper ocean physics, optics, biology, biogeochemistry, and carbon fluxes at a site regularly sampled using ships and sediment traps. The project will initially focus on optical and acoustic instrumentation and will foster a stronger working relationship between instrument developers and ocean scientists.
