Coupled Modelling of the Arctic Ocean-Atmosphere-Ice System

这项建议是由美国国家科学基金会北极系统科学项目推动的北极环境及其在全球变化中的作用系统研究的一部分。这是一个为期三年的项目，旨在通过最先进的计算机模型模拟全球大气、北冰洋和北极海冰的平衡北极气候。将对非耦合、部分耦合和完全耦合的模型系统进行一系列的仿真和分析。这项研究工作将使用现有的数据集来模拟当今北极气候和温室效应增强情景下的气候。北极固有的过程和反馈，在以前的研究中被忽视或解决得不好，将被详细评估。

This proposal is part of a systematic study of the Arctic environment and its role in global change promoted by NSF's Arctic System Science Program. It is a three year project to investigate equilibrium arctic climates simulated by state-of-the-art computer models for the global atmosphere, the Arctic Ocean and arctic sea ice. A sequence of simulations and analyses will be performed with uncoupled, partially coupled, and fully coupled model systems. This research effort will use existing data sets to simulate the present-day arctic climate and the climate of an enhanced greenhouse scenario. Processes and feedbacks intrinsic to the Arctic, and neglected or poorly resolved in previous studies, will be evaluated in detail.
