Collaborative Research: A Bering Strait Ocean Observing System for the Pacific Inflow to the Arctic- a fundamental part of the Arctic Observing Network

该AON项目将支持白令海峡基于观测的综合测量方案，该方案将结合现场观测与白令海峡社区的传统知识以及4公里分辨率冰-海洋模型ECCO2（估算海洋环流和气候第二阶段）的结果。将测量白令海峡的温度、盐度和速度数据以及海洋通量数据产品，以满足该区域众多科学、气候和工业（例如石油/天然气勘探、航运）研究的需要。通过“一站式”网站（在国家档案馆永久存档），该项目将向所有感兴趣的各方提供这些数据和数据产品。它将发展与当地社区的双向信息交流，利用一个单独资助的项目（由当地公司Kawerak， Inc .领导）的结果，记录白令海峡地区洋流和变化的传统知识。此外，为了弥合观测者和建模者之间的传统差距，它将为未来的AON观测策略进行试点研究，该策略必须将观测和高质量的建模结合起来。这项工作将在白令海峡地区数十年的测量基础上继续进行并扩大，并构成美国国家科学基金会对俄美北极长期普查（RUSALCA）伙伴关系的贡献。

This AON project will support a comprehensive observationally-based measurement scheme for the Bering Strait, which will combine in situ observations with traditional knowledge from the Bering Strait communities and results from a 4km resolution ice-ocean model, ECCO2 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean phase II). Temperature, salinity and velocity data from the Bering Strait and data products of oceanic fluxes will be measured to meet the needs of numerous scientific, climate and industrial (e.g., oil/gas exploration, shipping) studies in the region. Via a "one-stop" website (with permanent archiving at national archives), the project will provide these data and data products to all interested parties. It will develop a two-way exchange of information with native communities, drawing on results from a separately funded project (led by the native corporation Kawerak, Inc) documenting traditional knowledge of ocean currents and change in the Bering Strait region. Furthermore, bridging the traditional gap between observationalists and modelers, it will undertake a pilot study for future AON observational strategies which must surely combine observations and high quality modeling. The effort continues and expands upon decades of measurements in the Bering Strait region and constitutes an NSF contribution to the interagency Russian-American Long-term Census of the Arctic (RUSALCA) partnership.
