2003 Coastal Ocean Modeling Gordon Conference

请求为2003年戈登沿海海洋模型研究会议提供支助。请拨的经费将用于支付特邀演讲者的旅费和会议费，以及学生和博士后研究员提出的长途旅行的特殊要求。这次会议致力于理解和预测发生在沿海海洋的过程。沿海海洋中的许多重要现象要么是高度特定的，要么是非线性的，要么两者兼而有之，并引发了耦合的物理、化学和生物过程的混合。今天的新奇之处在于政府、工业和科学界感兴趣的模拟的范围和复杂性，这些主题是大规模新数据运动和大型社区伙伴关系的主题，旨在将理论、实验和模拟整合到科学资源管理中。了解模拟的科学使用是本次会议的另一个重点。沿海海洋环流GRC的重点是沿海海洋环流动力学和相关过程研究。它还每四年举行一次(1997年、2001年、2005年---)。沿海海洋模型全球研究中心侧重于区域尺度上的数值模拟，其中存在多个过程和时空尺度并相互作用。同样，它每四年举行一次(1999、2003、2007、-)。因此，这两个相关但不同的全球资源中心每两年轮流举行一次。计划委员会的结构是相辅相成的。2003年将强调六个主题：业务预报、数据同化、陆架-海洋相互作用、物理/生物耦合、拉格朗日方法和湍流闭合方案。一个由私立和州立大学以及科学机构组成的项目委员会广泛代表了研究界。已有35名资深人士同意以领导团队的身份参加，发表演讲和/或组织会议。拟议会议的更广泛影响包括在多学科科学格局中播撒新的基本思想和方法；通过业务数据同化模型缩小观测科学和理论科学之间的明显差距；使专门负责科学资源管理的机构内部的业务系统成为可能；该领域的年轻学生和学者与他们的资深同行共同融合，跨越大学、政府机构和私营部门的机构边界。

Support is requested for the 2003 Gordon Research Conference on Coastal Ocean Modeling. The funds requested will offset travel and conference fee costs of invited speakers and special requests from students and postdoctoral fellows, for long-distance travel. This conference is devoted to the understanding and prediction of processes occurring in the Coastal Ocean. Many important phenomena in the coastal ocean are either highly site-specific, or nonlinear, or both, and invoke a blend of coupled physical, chemical, and biological processes. What is novel today is the scope and complexity of the simulations which are of interest to governmental, industrial, and scientific communities, and these topics are the subject of massive new data campaigns and large community partnerships aimed at marshalling theory, experiment, and simulation toward scientific resource management. Understanding the scientific use of simulations is an added focus of this Conference. The complementary Coastal Ocean Circulation GRC is focused on coastal ocean circulation dynamics and related process studies. It is also held quadrennially (1997, 2001, 2005, - - -). The Coastal Ocean Modeling GRC is focused on numerical modeling on a regional scale where multiple processes and space-time scales exist and interact. Again, it is held quadrennially (1999, 2003, 2007, - - -). Thus, these two related but different GRCs are held in alternate biennia. The program committees are structured to complement each other. In 2003, six themes will be emphasized: Operational Forecasting, Data Assimilation, Shelf-Ocean Interactions, Physical/Biological Coupling, Lagrangian Methods, and Turbulence Closure Schemes. A Program Committee drawn from private and state universities, and scientific agencies is broadly representative of the research world. There are 35 senior people that have agreed to attend as the leadership corps, giving presentations and/or organizing sessions. The broader impacts of the proposed conference include the seeding of new fundamental ideas and approaches across the multidisciplinary scientific landscape; the closing of the apparent gap between observational and theoretical science via operational data-assimilative modeling; the enabling of operational systems within agencies devoted to scientific resource management; and the co-mixing of young students and scholars in the field with their established senior counterparts, across institutional boundaries of university, governmental agency, and private sector.
