Utility Support for Building 628 in Thule, Greenland

摘要 电话：0732 - 7747 兰德尔海军研究办公室 通过该奖项，海军研究办公室在图勒空军基地提供建筑空间，国家科学基金会使用该基地储存北极野外设备，并开展需要纽约空军国民警卫队向冰盖提供重型空运服务的野外项目。 由于图勒空军基地位于北方，缩短了后勤行动必须跨越的距离，因此，可以更方便地在格陵兰北方和北冰洋冰盖上开展实地工作。 除了使用建筑空间进行后勤集结外，该建筑还用于存放大量北极野外装备，这些装备应尽可能靠近潜在的研究地点储存和维护，以便在紧急情况下随时可用。

ABSTRACT OPP-9732747 JACOBSON, RANDALL OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH Through this award the Office of Naval Research provides building space at Thule Air Base that is used by the National Science Foundation to store Arctic field equipment and to stage field programs that require heavy airlift services of the New York Air National Guard to the ice cap. Field work in northern Greenland and on the Arctic Ocean ice pack is better facilitated by access to Thule Air Base because its northern location shortens the distance over which logistics operations must be conducted. In addition to use of the building space for logistics staging, the building is also used to house a large equipment pool of Arctic field gear that should be stored and maintained as closely as possible to potential research sites in order to provide ready access in case of emergency requirements.
