This Major Research Instrumentation project will acquire a suite of instruments that will support and expand oceanographic studies in the Arctic Ocean during the International Polar Year (IPY). Specifically, the instruments will enhance the oceanographic observing component of the nascent Arctic Observing Network. The instrumentation to be acquired includes: Moored Profilers; Upward-looking Sonars; Bottom Pressure Recorders; Ice-tethered Profilers; Polar Profiling Floats; and Arctic Winch Profilers. These instruments will be managed by the Physical Oceanographic Observing Laboratory (POOL) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and will be available to the broader Arctic oceanography community. Data returned from these instruments will support studies of ocean processes, facilitate numerical model initialization and validation, and stimulate general interest in Arctic issues. Research and understanding that builds on these the data acquired by these instruments will lead to a better appreciation of the role of the Arctic in the Earth's climate system. An international partnership with projects in Canada, France, Germany, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom) will provide broad spatial coverage of the Arctic Ocean during IPY. The addition of these instruments to the Arctic Observing Network, the data they obtain, and the knowledge and understanding that will result, will be an important contribution to the legacy of the International Polar Year. Data and information about the instruments and the science will be available at the "Polar Discovery" Web site (http://polardiscovery.whoi.edu), and communicated more broadly through a collaboration with the NSF-funded IPY education project "Live from the Poles" (ESI-0632219).

这个主要的研究仪器项目将获得一套工具，这些工具将在国际极地（IPY）期间支持和扩大北极海洋的海洋学研究。具体而言，这些仪器将增强北极观测网络的海洋观测成分。 要获得的仪器包括：停泊的探查师；看起来向上的声纳；底压记录器；冰螺旋分子；极地分析浮子；和北极绞车分子。这些仪器将由伍兹霍尔海洋学机构的物理海洋观测实验室（POUS）管理，并将用于更广阔的北极海洋学社区。从这些工具中返回的数据将支持对海洋过程的研究，促进数值模型初始化和验证，并刺激对北极问题的普遍兴趣。基于这些工具所获得的数据的研究和理解将使人们更好地欣赏北极在地球气候系统中的作用。与加拿大，法国，德国，挪威，俄罗斯，瑞典和英国的项目的国际合作关系将在IPY期间提供广泛的空间覆盖范围。这些工具在北极观察网络，获得的数据以及将会产生的知识和理解中添加，这将是对国际极地年份的遗产的重要贡献。有关乐器和科学的数据和信息将在“ Polar Discovery”网站（http://polardiscovery.whoi.edu）上获得，并通过与NSF资助的IPY教育项目“ Live from the Poles”（ESI-06322219）的合作进行更广泛的沟通。
