Workshop on Submarine Geophysical Surveys in the Arctic

摘要本奖项为一个研讨会提供资金，以解决核潜艇作为北冰洋地球物理研究平台的科学潜力。通过美国海军、海军研究办公室、国家科学基金会、美国地质调查局和国家海洋与大气管理局之间的谅解备忘录，美国海军核潜艇在北冰洋进行民用（非机密）科学研究成为可能。使用海底平台进行海洋地球物理工作的一般概念是有趣的，显然有足够的潜力值得认真考虑。考虑可能的地球物理专用巡航的第一步是确定潜艇可以完成的地球物理工作类型，以及可能解决的具体科学问题是否重要到足以鼓励研究界提交建议供基金会考虑。从本质上讲，必须确定核潜艇在北冰洋地球物理调查中的潜在作用。这次研讨会将讨论这个问题，并向基金会提供他们的建议。

Use of a US Navy nuclear submarine for civilian (unclassified) scientific research in the Arctic Ocean has been made possible through a Memorandum of Understanding between the US Navy, the Office of Naval Research, the National Science Foundation, the US Geological Survey, and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. The general concept of using a submarine platform for marine geophysical work is intriguing and there is clearly enough potential to warrant serious consideration. The first step in consideration of a possible cruise dedicated to geophysics is to determine the sort of geophysical work that is achievable from a submarine and if the specific scientific problems that might be addressed are important enough to encourage the research community to submit proposals for consideration by the Foundation. Essentially, the potential role of a nuclear submarine in Arctic Ocean geophysical investigations must be determined. This workshop will address this issue and provide their recommendations to the Foundation.
