Workshop on Monitoring for Climate Change Detection in the Americas, Vina del Mar, Chile, December 5-8, 1995,

9622505迪亚兹 这次研讨会将评估美洲气象观测网络解决世界气候研究方案（WCRP）以下问题的能力：气候变暖吗？ 水循环在改变吗？ 大气环流在变化吗？ 气候变得更加多变或极端？ 虽然气象观测网络具备监测天气的能力，但大多数网络的设计并不是为了解决气候问题，包括基线、测量不确定性和模型验证。 该讲习班旨在使美洲天气监测和气候研究界的适当成员聚集一堂，以确定气候监测系统的需要。 这些需要包括观测、数据管理和数据分发方面（包括确定将纳入这一系统的关键气候变量）。 这次研讨会将有助于全球气候观测系统（气候观测系统）界评估全球综合气候观测系统的观测需要。 该讲习班将为各国气象局局长和气候研究人员提供一个极好的机会，以评估气象数据收集系统的现状及其对美洲未来气候研究作出贡献的能力。 该讲习班由三个组织共同主办： （c）与世界气象组织（气象组织）全球气候观测系统方案、智利国家海洋学委员会和代表美洲全球变化研究所（IAI）的国家科学基金会合作。 IAI是美国的一项倡议，旨在促进美洲科学机构就全球变化问题开展合作研究。 国家科学基金会是美国政府机构，由白宫指定，在IAI内执行美国的响应。 ***

9622505 Diaz This workshop will evaluate the capability of the meteorological observing networks of the Americas to address the following World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) questions: Is the climate warming? Is the hydrologic cycle changing? Is the atmospheric circulation changing? Is the climate becoming more variable or extreme? While meteorological observing networks are equipped to monitor weather, most are not designed to address questions of climate, including baselines, measurement uncertainty, and model validation. This workshop is designed to bring together the appropriate members of the weather monitoring and climate research communities in the Americas in order to identify the needs for a climate monitoring system. These needs include observational, data management, and data distribution aspects (including the identification of the critical climate variables to be included in such a system). This workshop will contribute to the effort of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) community in evaluating the observational needs for a global integrated climate observing system. This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for the directors of national meteorological services and climate researchers to evaluate the current state of the weather data collection systems and their capacity to contribute to future climate research in the Americas. This workshop is being co-sponsored by three organizations: the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Program of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the National Oceanographic committee of Chile, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). The IAI is a U.S. initiative to stimulate cooperative research on global change issues among the scientific institutions of the Americas. The National Science Foundation is the U.S. Government agency designated by the White House to carry out U.S. resp onsibilities within the IAI. ***
