Workshop Proposal: The Summit Station Science Summit

20多年来，极地项目办公室一直在资助格陵兰峰顶站（北纬72°，西经38°，海拔3250米）的大量科学活动。峰顶是目前北极地区唯一一个全年有人值守的高海拔、自由对流层内陆环境观测站。了解当前和发展中的北极科学问题，以及在高峰站进行的研究如何解决这些问题，对于确定科学计划的优先次序和高峰站的操作计划具有重要作用。这个为期1.5天的研讨会的目标包括：A)阐明顶峰站测量的现状，B)说明数据的当前用途，C)定义在北极科学背景下收集的全年数据的效用，D)确定冬季参数的可变性及其为科学分析必须监测的准确性。该研讨会将在美国国家科学基金会举行，汇集了首脑站收集数据的各种利益相关者和潜在科学用户，以及更广泛的北极科学家，以考虑首脑站？中国未来在北极研究中的作用。这项建议的智力价值将体现在确定首脑站研究可以解决的重要科学问题，以及确定全年测量所需的测量和精度以回答这些问题。将通过关于首脑站数据现状和应用的讲习班报告实现更广泛的影响，该报告将包括关于首脑站未来科学目标和措施的基于社区的建议。

The Office of Polar Programs has been funding substantial scientific activities at Summit Station, Greenland (72°N 38°W, 3250 meters above sea level), for over twenty years. Summit is the only high-elevation, free-tropospheric, inland environmental observatory in the Arctic which is currently manned throughout the year. Understanding the current and developing Arctic science questions and how research conducted at Summit Station can address those questions plays an important role in determining science program priorities and operational plans for Summit Station. Goals for this 1.5-day workshop include; A) elucidating the current state of Summit Station measurements, B) illustrating the current uses of the data, C) defining the utility of the year-round data that is collected in the context of Arctic science, and D) determining the variability of wintertime parameters and the accuracy to which they must be monitored for scientific analysis.The workshop will be held at NSF and bring together various stakeholders and potential scientific users of data collected at Summit Station, as well as broader Arctic Scientists, to consider Summit Station?s future role in Arctic research. The intellectual merit of the proposal will be realized in defining the important science questions that can be addressed by research at Summit Station and defining the measurements and accuracies needed for year-round measurements to answer those questions. Broader impacts will be realized through the workshop report on the current state and applications of Summit Station data that will include community-based recommendations on future science goals and measurements for Summit Station.
