Collaborative Research: BEST - A Service Proposal to Examine Impacts of Sea-ice on Hydrographic Structure and Nutrients over the Eastern Bering Sea Shelf

Whitledge 0732772大学。提供资金用于收集，质量控制，分析和分发给所有白令海生态系统研究（BEST）的调查人员，在为BEST计划的春季巡航期间进行核心物理和化学观测。这项拟议的研究还将通过整合冬末和春季多次水文调查的数据、卫星跟踪的漂流者的轨迹和长期系泊（别处资助）的数据，研究海冰如何影响沿大陆架和跨大陆架的温度、盐度、荧光、氧气、营养和洋流的梯度。

Whitledge 0732772Univ. of Alaska FairbanksFunds are provided to collect, quality control, analyze and distribute to all Bering Sea Ecosystem Study (BEST) investigators the core physical and chemical observations during the spring cruises projected for BEST. This proposed study will also examine how sea-ice affects along- and across-shelf gradients of temperature, salinity, fluorescence, oxygen, nutrients and currents by integrating data from multiple hydrographic surveys in late winter and spring with trajectories from satellite-tracked drifters and data from long-term moorings (funded elsewhere).
