Climate Variability of the Eastern North Pacific and WesternNorth America

这笔赠款部分用于支持关于北太平洋东部--北美西部地区气候变异性的跨学科讲习班。这些研讨会被称为“太平洋气候研讨会”(PACLIM)，在过去的四年里每年春天都会举行。PACLIM的目标包括促进：(1)气候多变性的多学科研究，特别是年际和年代际时间尺度上的短期可变性；(2)现有数据库的定义、开发、分析和解释；(3)确定有用的气候监测战略，包括利用卫星遥感。这次研讨会将产生一本题为“东太平洋和美洲西部的气候变异性”的AGU专著。这个项目之所以重要，是因为它以广泛的、多学科的视角处理气候问题，这是一个对美国大片地区具有实际重要性的问题。

This is a grant to support partially an interdisciplinary workshop on the climate variability of the eastern North Pacific Ocean-Western North America region. Called the "Pacific Climate Workshops" (PACLIM), these workshop have been held each Spring over the past four years. The goals of PACLIM include promotion of: (1) multidisciplinary studies of climate variability, especially short-term variability on interannual and decadal time-scales; (2) the definition, development, analysis, and interpretation of available data bases; and (3) the determination of useful climate monitoring strategies, including the use of satellite remote sensing. This workshop will result in an AGU monograph titled, "Climate Variability in the eastern Pacific and western Americas." This project is important because it treats with a broad, multidisciplinary perspective, a climate problem of practical importance to a large region of the US.
