Aircraft Component for Collaborative Research: Quantifying changes in the arctic hydrologic cycle at the landscape scale using advances in water vapor isotope techniques and aircra

该RAPID支持同名资助的EAGER项目（J. Welker，首席PI，ARC-1332274）的飞机服务部分。EAGER项目的主要目标是通过收集来自塔测量以及飞机的水蒸气同位素来表征各种景观类型的水文循环。一架固定翼飞机已经改装，以支持该项目所需的传感器。合同预计将通过NSF的北极研究支持和后勤承包商进行，但将由获奖者以大致相同的成本进行，并增加PI的参与。

This RAPID supports the aircraft service component of the funded EAGER project of the same name (J. Welker, lead PI, ARC-1332274). The main objective of the EAGER project is to characterize the hydrologic cycle over various landscape types by collecting water vapor isotopes from tower measurements as well as an aircraft. A fixed-wing aircraft has been modified to support the sensors necessary for the project. Contracting was expected to take place through NSF's arctic research support and logistics contractor but will instead be done by the awardee for approximately the same cost and with increased involvement of the PI.
