Abstract
Sampling under ice-covered seas, such as the Chukchi and Bering, is difficult. Vessels capable of working in ice are limited, ice destroys surface floats, and ice keels on the shallow Chukchi shelf can extend downward 30 m, confining subsurface moorings to the near bottom. Hence, there is limited data from beneath the ice and in the marginal ice-edge zones. The Innovative Technology for Arctic Exploration (ITAE) program focuses on development of specialized tools tailored to these challenging environmental conditions. In addition, a new data acquisition system will improve transmission of full resolution data in real time. These new technologies are important for the Ecosystems and Fisheries Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) program, which maintains NOAA’s largest observing network in the US Arctic (Tabisola et al., 2022).
在楚科奇和白令海峡等冰雪覆盖的海域取样是很困难的。能够在冰上工作的船只有限,冰破坏了水面浮子,楚科奇浅海架上的冰龙骨可以向下延伸30米,将地下系泊装置限制在近底部。因此,来自冰下和边缘冰缘带的数据有限。北极勘探创新技术(ITAE)项目的重点是针对这些具有挑战性的环境条件开发专门的工具。此外,一种新的数据采集系统将提高全分辨率数据的实时传输。这些新技术对于生态系统和渔业海洋学协调调查(EcoFOCI)计划非常重要,该计划维持着NOAA在美国北极地区最大的观测网络(Tabisola et al., 2022)。
期刊介绍:
First published in July 1988, Oceanography is the official magazine of The Oceanography Society. It contains peer-reviewed articles that chronicle all aspects of ocean science and its applications. In addition, Oceanography solicits and publishes news and information, meeting reports, hands-on laboratory exercises, career profiles, book reviews, and shorter, editor-reviewed articles that address public policy and education and how they are affected by science and technology. We encourage submission of short papers to the Breaking Waves section that describe novel approaches to multidisciplinary problems in ocean science.
