Abstract

Science Research on Commercial Ships (Science RoCS) is a grassroots multi-institution group of scientists, engineers, data managers, and administrators seeking to further research opportunities by equipping commercial vessels with suites of maritime appropriate scientific sensors operated autonomously on regular ship routes with minimal crew intervention. Science RoCS aims to foster cooperation between the shipping industry and scientific community at a level that will be transformative for societally relevant ocean science, promote cross-disciplinary ocean science through simultaneous observation of the air/sea interface and water column, and spur a technological revolution in observational oceanography by developing new turnkey, maritime-industry-appropriate scientific equipment whose data streams can be used to stimulate innovations in oceanic (physical, chemical, and biological) understanding and forecasting. We envision a future where scientific data collection on commercial ships is the new industry standard, providing repeat measurements in undersampled, remote regions, on scales not otherwise accessible to the scientific community.

商船多学科科学观测框架

商船科学研究（Science RoCS）是一个由科学家、工程师、数据管理人员和行政人员组成的多机构基层组织，旨在通过在商船上配备适合海洋的科学传感器套件，在常规航线上自主运行，尽量减少船员干预，从而增加研究机会。科学 RoCS 的目标是促进航运业与科学界之间的合作，从而为社会相关的海洋科学带来变革，通过同时观测海气界面和水柱促进跨学科海洋科学的发展，并通过开发新的交钥匙工程、适合海运业的科学设备（其数据流可用于促进海洋（物理、化学和生物）理解和预测方面的创新）来推动观测海洋学的技术革命。我们设想，在未来，商船上的科学数据收集将成为新的行业标准，在取样不足的偏远地区提供重复测量，而科学界则无法以其他方式获得这些数据。

期刊介绍： The ICES Journal of Marine Science publishes original articles, opinion essays (“Food for Thought”), visions for the future (“Quo Vadimus”), and critical reviews that contribute to our scientific understanding of marine systems and the impact of human activities on them. The Journal also serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to the marine environment. Oceanography (e.g. productivity-determining processes), marine habitats, living resources, and related topics constitute the key elements of papers considered for publication. This includes economic, social, and public administration studies to the extent that they are directly related to management of the seas and are of general interest to marine scientists. Integrated studies that bridge gaps between traditional disciplines are particularly welcome.
