U.S. SO GLOBEC Synthesis and Modeling: Southern Ocean GLOBEC (SO GLOBEC) Planning Office

拟议工作的目标是为南大洋全球海洋生态系统动力学（SO-Globec）计划的综合和建模阶段提供规划办公室的运作。该办公室将通过以下方式确保作为SO-Globec一部分开发的综合和整合活动与国际和美国Globec项目所开展的活动相协调：1)在会议上组织特别会议，2)准备专注于项目结果的专门出版物，3)维护项目网站，4)发展项目外展工作，5)确保与国际全球和其他国家和国际项目和组织的协调。办公室将由一名教员和一名项目专家组成。SO-Globec是一项多学科合作项目，旨在了解影响南极磷虾（Euphausia superba）生长、繁殖、招募和生存的物理和生物因素。该计划采用多营养水平的方法，包括南极磷虾的捕食者和竞争对手，以其他浮游动物、鱼类、企鹅、海豹和鲸目动物为代表。描述所有营养水平重要物种的生态学和生理学的广泛研究有助于形成生态系统方法，这是SO-Globec的精髓。规划办公室将提供一个中心协调中心，以确保将SO-Globec的结果提供给更广泛的科学界和公众，并将这些结果纳入未来南大洋方案的规划。

The objective of the proposed work is to provide for the operation of a Planning Office for the synthesis and modeling phase of the Southern Ocean Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (SO-Globec) program. The office will ensure that synthesis and integration activities that are developed as part of SO-Globec are coordinated with those undertaken by the international and U.S. Globec programs through: 1) organization of special sessions at meetings, 2) preparation of dedicated publications focused on program results, 3) maintenance of a project web site, 4) development of program outreach efforts, and 5) ensuring coordination with International Globec and other national and international programs and organizations. The office will consist of one faculty member and one program specialist.SO-Globec is a multidisciplinary effort focused on understanding the physical and biological factors that influence growth, reproduction, recruitment and survival of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). The program uses a multi-trophic level approach that includes the predators and competitors of Antarctic krill, represented by other zooplankton, fish, penguins, seals, and cetaceans. Extensive studies describing the ecology and physiology of important species at all trophic levels contributed to the ecosystem approach which is the essence of SO-Globec. The Planning Office will provide a central focal point for ensuring that the results from SO-Globec are made available to the broader scientific community and to the general public, and that the results will be incorporated into the planning of future Southern Ocean programs.
