Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS) Mooring Design and Cruise Support

阿拉斯加州大学费尔班克斯大学的国际北极研究中心(IARC)要求伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)的系泊作业和工程小组(MOE)在设计2021年夏天在北极部署的9个冰下地下系泊设备方面拥有专业知识，为期两年。能源部人员还将提供系泊作业专业知识，并将参加在挪威柯克内斯举行的部署巡航。世卫组织将考虑环境因素(如洋流和海冰)，在建造系泊设施之前确定科学和仪器要求。在设计阶段之后，UAF和MOE团队将监督系泊设施的建设。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has requested the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s (WHOI) Mooring Operations and Engineering Groups (MOE) expertise in the design of nine under ice subsurface moorings being deployed in the Arctic in the summer of 2021 for a period of two years. MOE personnel will also provide mooring operations expertise and will participate on the deployment cruise being staged from Kirkenes, Norway. WHOI will define the science and instrumentation requirements prior to the construction of the moorings by taking into consideration environmental factors (such as ocean currents and sea ice). Following the design phase, the UAF and MOE teams will oversee the construction of the moorings.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
