Instrumental suite for high-resolution ice-ocean interface and boundary layer process studies in the Canadian Arctic

快速变化的北冰洋海冰正在对极地海洋环境产生影响。然而，这种对未来变化、碳循环和生态系统功能的影响程度仍然高度不确定。缺乏高分辨率的过程研究，可以解决系统中存在的自然空间和时间变异性，并使其能够作为物理、化学和生态条件的函数进行系统研究。这项研究工具和仪器--第1类赠款申请的目的是通过协调多学科抽样支持冰-海洋边界层过程研究，在偶尔的点抽样之外采取下一步行动。

The rapidly changing Arctic sea ice cover is having an impact on the polar marine environment. However, the extent of this impact on future changes, carbon cycling and ecosystem functioning remain highly uncertain. Lacking are high-resolution processes studies that can resolve the natural spatial and temporal variability present in the system, and allow it to be systematically studied as a function of the physical, chemical and ecological conditions. The aim of this Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 grant application is to take the next step beyond the occasional point sampling through coordinated multi-disciplinary sampling in support of ice-ocean boundary layer process studies.
