This project supports the Tudor Hill Marine Atmospheric Observatory in Bermuda. Because of its location in the western North Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda has been an important location for many studies of the marine atmosphere. The observatory is well equipped for carrying out research, with field laboratories and a 23 meter tower at Tudor Hill. This allows scientists to study the chemistry and physics of the atmosphere over the oceans. This part of the atmosphere plays an important role in the transfer of moisture, chemicals, and energy between the ocean and the atmosphere. Routine work at the site includes the observation and recording of weather conditions, and sampling of rain and air. In addition, samples and data are collected for a number of research partners, including NOAA, NASA and many US and international universities. As well as supporting research, this project will provide a range of educational opportunities, including through the NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, and through other internships and courses at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences.The continued operation and maintenance of the Tudor Hill Marine Atmospheric Observatory facilitates research concerning the chemistry and physics of the marine troposphere and ocean-atmosphere exchange processes. The specific objectives of the project are to: 1) Operate and maintain the atmospheric sampling facility at Tudor Hill, Bermuda; 2) Continue collection of continuous meteorological data and weekly bulk-aerosol and rain samples, which will be archived at BIOS and made freely available to other researchers; and 3) Collect additional atmospheric samples and data for external investigators, and provide for the use of the facility by external investigators. Ongoing partner activities at the facility include monitoring and data acquisition for NASA (AERONET) and NOAA programs (Ozone and greenhouse gas monitoring), and a new sampling location will be established for the US National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) in 2021. The THMAO site will enable research to be undertaken that is central to international initiatives such as IGAC, SOLAS and GEOTRACES. In a regional context, the Tudor Hill facility will complement ongoing oceanographic time-series research in the Sargasso Sea, including Hydrostation S and BATS.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持百慕大的Tudor Hill海洋大气天文台。由于其位于北大西洋西部的位置，百慕大一直是许多海洋气氛研究的重要地点。天文台的精力进行了研究，在都铎山（Tudor Hill）拥有现场实验室和23米高的塔楼。这使科学家可以研究海洋大气的化学和物理。大气的这一部分在海洋和大气之间的水分，化学物质和能量的转移中起着重要作用。该地点的常规工作包括观察和记录天气条件以及雨水和空气的抽样。此外，还为包括NOAA，NASA以及许多美国和国际大学在内的许多研究伙伴收集了样本和数据。除了支持研究外，该项目还将提供一系列的教育机会，包括通过NSF资助的本科生（REU）计划（REU）计划，以及通过百慕大海洋科学研究所的其他实习和课程。该项目的具体目标是：1）在百慕大都铎山（Tudor Hill）运营和维护大气抽样设施； 2）继续收集连续的气象数据以及每周的散装型和雨水样本，这些样本将在BIOS存档，并免费提供给其他研究人员； 3）为外部调查人员收集其他大气样本和数据，并提供外部研究人员使用该设施。该设施的正在进行的合作伙伴活动包括对NASA（AERONET）和NOAA计划（臭氧和温室气体监测）的监控和数据获取，并将在2021年为美国国家大气沉积计划（NADP）建立一个新的抽样位置。THMAO站点将对国际启动的研究中心进行研究，例如国际启动剂，例如International Interiative solace solace solas solas solas solas solas solas solas solas solas solas sol。在区域背景下，都铎山的设施将补充萨尔加索海正在进行的海洋学时间序列研究，包括液压S和蝙蝠。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
