9871120 Edson This Major Research Instrumentation award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution supports the development of a Nearshore Observatory for study of physical, biological, geological and chemical processes in the coastal zone near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. It will include a permanent station in 10 meters water depth outfitted with a variety of oceanographic sensors, as well as a satellite node in shallower water and a meteorological tower on the adjacent island. The synoptic set of data from all sensors will be available in real time to researchers via fiber optic cable connection and the World Wide Web. Additional sensors and experiments may be added for specific projects, providing capabilities to run controlled studies in a well parameterized setting. The observatory is expected to be used for a wide array of studies, including biological recruitment and population research, air-sea-bottom interaction study, and investigation into gas transfer and aerosol physics. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will provide cost-share support for at least 30% of total project costs. ***

9871120 埃德森 这项授予伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所的重大研究仪器奖支持近岸天文台的开发，用于研究马萨诸塞州玛莎葡萄园岛附近沿海地区的物理、生物、地质和化学过程。 它将包括一个位于 10 米水深的永久站，配备各种海洋传感器，以及位于浅水区的卫星节点和邻近岛屿上的气象塔。 来自所有传感器的概要数据集将通过光纤电缆连接和万维网实时提供给研究人员。 可以为特定项目添加额外的传感器和实验，从而提供在参数化设置良好的情况下运行受控研究的能力。 该天文台预计将用于广泛的研究，包括生物招募和种群研究、空气-海底相互作用研究以及气体传输和气溶胶物理学研究。 伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将为至少项目总成本的30%提供成本分摊支持。 ***
