SGER: Air-Sea CO2 and O2 Exchange on Georges Bank

小行星9531886 探索性研究（SGER）项目的小额赠款将开发和部署一种新的长期CO2传感器，该传感器将作为GLOBEC全球变化研究计划的一部分在乔治银行过冬。 PI开发了一种名为SAMI-CO2的新仪器，用于测量CO2水平（潜水自主系泊仪器- CO2）。 测量CO2分压（pCO 2）对许多涉及气候研究的调查都很重要。 很难进行长期测量。 这种部署机会是为研究界提供严格现场评估的有效方法。 这项工作还将有助于GLOBEC计划，该计划正在寻求确定海洋-大气气候模型的海面pCO 2水平的主导控制，并提高我们对海-气气体交换机制的理解。

9531886 DeGrandpre This Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) project will develop deploy a new long term, CO2 sensor on a mooring that will over-winter on Georges Bank as part of the GLOBEC global change research program. The PI has developed a new instrument called SAMI-CO2 for measuring CO2 levels (Submersible Autonomous Moored Instrument - CO2). Measuring the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is important to many types of investigations involving climatic studies. Long term measurements have been difficult to make. This deployment opportunity represents an effective way to provide the research community with a rigorous field evaluation. The work will also contribute to the GLOBEC program that is seeking to determine dominant control of sea surface pCO2 levels for ocean-atmosphere climate models and to improve our understanding of air-sea gas exchange mechanisms.
