WOCE - Synthesis Southern Ocean Atlas

9811481组织在这个项目中，私营部门将利用世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)提供的所有现有水文数据，以及使用WOCE数据进行质量控制的经过仔细筛选的历史数据，编制一份南大洋水文地图集，其中包括南极绕极流及其以南地区。由于需要提供仅有全球地图集无法提供的细节，因此有理由为这一地区单独编制一份地图集。各种各样的数据产品都会产生。由于数据尚未全部可用，因此需要四年的努力，并将在接下来的几年里继续发布。该地图集设想有两个电子版：一个内置浏览器的光盘，其中载有数据统计、网格化区域、等高线部分等；以及一个万维网网址。印刷的地图集不是这个项目的一部分。

9811481OrsiIn this project the PIs will construct a hydrographic atlas of the Southern Ocean, including the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the region to its south, using all available hydrographic data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and a carefully-screened selection of historical data that have been quality-controlled using the WOCE data. A separate atlas for this region of the globe is justified by the need for detail not available in a global atlas alone. A variety of data products are will be generated. A four year effort is required, as the data are not yet all available, and will be released continuously for the next several years. Two electronic versions of the atlas are envisioned: a CD-ROM with built-in browser, containing data statistics, gridded fields, contoured sections, etc., and a World Wide Web site. Printed atlases are not envisioned as part of this project.
