This SGER is one of three collaborative efforts to define the instrumentation, sites and budget for a cabled observatory adjacent to the continental shelf of the Beaufort Sea. FY04 federal legislation calls for building a Barrow Global Climate Change Facility near Barrow, Alaska. As with cabled observatories envisioned elsewhere, this is an unprecedented opportunity for continuous, real-time access to the water column, the underside of sea ice and ocean bottom sediments.Planning for this facility has been proceeding for the past year, but the emphasis has been nearly solely on the physical facility (i.e., the building). Without dedicated planning to the science infrastructure being done soon, it is possible that the best opportunity to undertake the best science in this venue may be unrealized.The methodology will be to first hold a workshop in Barrow, bringing together oceanographers,seismologists, biologists, sea ice specialists, oil industry representatives and educators. The focus will be a discussion of what instrumentation would be necessary to study the Beaufort Shelf and adjacent waters. The resulting report will form the basis for engineering studies that would include preliminary plans for implementation. These plans would concentrate on adaptation of technology being developed for other seafloor observatories and how to exploit devices routinely deployed on moorings. A second meeting would result in an engineering report, translating the original science plan into a series of technical requirements for an Arctic seafloor installation.It should be noted in the area of "Broader Impacts" that this effort has been extensively coordinated with key constituencies of the Barrow community, and is endorsed by leaders of that community.The three separate SGER proposals are:0438100 Chayes, Dale Columbia University0438102 Proshutinsky, Andrey Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution Chave, Alan Detrick, Robert0439107 Coakley, Bernard University of Alaska Fairbanks Weingartner, ThomasThis combination of talents is both necessary and sufficient to complete the tasks as proposed.

该SGER是为Beaufort Sea大陆架附近的有线天文台定义仪器，地点和预算的三个合作努力之一。 04财年联邦立法呼吁建立阿拉斯加巴罗附近的巴罗全球​​气候变化设施。 与在其他地方设想的有线观测器一样，这是一个前所未有的机会，可以实时实时进入水柱，海冰和海洋底部沉积物的底面。在过去的一年中，该设施的计划一直在进行，但重点几乎完全是物理设施（即建筑物）。 如果没有为即将完成科学基础设施的专门计划，那么在该场所进行最佳科学的最佳机会可能是未实现的。该方法将首先在巴罗举行研讨会，将海洋学家，地震学家，生物学家，生物学家，海冰专家，石油行业代表和教育家召集在一起。 重点将是讨论研究Beaufort架子和邻近水的必要仪器。 结果报告将构成工程研究的基础，其中包括实施初步计划。 这些计划将集中于针对其他海底观测站开发的技术的适应，以及如何利用经常部署在系泊设备上的设备。 第二次会议将导致工程报告，将原始科学计划转化为北极海底安装的一系列技术要求。在“更广泛的影响”领域应注意，这项工作已被巴罗社区的关键选区广泛协调，并由该社区的领导者认可，并得到了三个独立的Sger columb columb conge congeia。 Proshutinsky，Andrey Wood Oceanographic Institution Chave，Alan Detrick，Robert0439107 Coakley，Alaska Fairbanks伯纳德大学WEINGARTNER，THOMASTHIS THOMASTHIS的人才结合是必要的，足以完成任务。
