The Fourth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Radiation and Climate will be held at Colby College in Waterville, Maine during the period July 24 - 29, 2005 and will focus on the four dimensional interaction between radiation and the three phases of water. This conference will bring together, and foster discussion among, scientists studying various aspects of atmospheric radiative transfer. The conference will have a first-rate, international line-up of 22 speakers and 9 discussion leaders that will secure continuity of the scientific excellence that has been a hallmark of Gordon Conferences for over 70 years. As Gordon Conferences are supported in part by Gordon Research Conferences, this proposal is seeking additional support to provide financial support of conference fees and/or travel costs for students, postdocs, and other young investigators as well as invited speakers and discussion leaders.Intellectual Merit: This GRC recognizes explicitly that much of what makes Earth's climate so complex, difficult to predict, and worthy of study arises from the four-dimensional interaction between radiation and the three phases of water. It is generally agreed that the most elusive of these interactions involve clouds, and so discussion of clouds and radiative transfer for cloudy atmospheres form the core of this GRC. The areas to be covered by the conference include: Hydro-Radiative Climatology Absorption and Scattering Radiative Transfer - I: Two-Stream Approximation and Averaging Radiative Transfer - II: Dynamical Models Radiative Transfer - III: Innovative Remote Sensing Cloud Observing Systems Assimilation of Cloud Data Modelling and Observing Clouds and Radiation Analyses of Cloud Feedbacks and Radiative Sensitivities. The above areas represent both basic and cutting edge research in the area of Radiation and Climate, and it is expected that the discussions will facilitate better understanding of the field and will provoke new research on unsolved problems.Broader Impacts: The Fourth Gordon Research Conference on Radiation and Climate is expected to be an exciting educational experience for all participants - students and established researchers alike. The students who participate in this activity will benefit by obtaining a better understanding of one of the fundamental physical processes governing the climate system - the transfer of electromagnetic radiation - AND its interaction with clouds - a primary, and perhaps the least understood, component of the climate system. Established researchers should benefit by an exposure to recent advances and new ideas in this field. Overall, the exchanges of ideas are expected to benefit society by encouraging further exploration and discoveries of the climate system, thereby perhaps increasing our capability for making useful predictions and assessments of anthropogenic impact on the climate system.

第四届戈登辐射与气候研究会议(GRC)将于2005年7月24日至29日在缅因州沃特维尔的科尔比学院举行，会议将重点讨论辐射与水的三相之间的四维相互作用。这次会议将把研究大气辐射传输各个方面的科学家聚集在一起，并促进他们之间的讨论。这次会议将有一流的国际阵容，由22位演讲者和9位讨论领袖组成，这将确保戈登会议70多年来一直标志着的卓越科学的连续性。由于戈登会议部分得到了戈登研究会议的支持，这项提议正在寻求额外的支持，为学生、博士后和其他年轻研究人员以及受邀的演讲者和讨论领袖提供会议费和/或旅费的财政支持。智慧的优点：这个GRC明确地认识到，使地球气候如此复杂、难以预测和值得研究的大部分原因来自辐射和水的三相之间的四维相互作用。人们普遍认为，这些相互作用中最难以捉摸的涉及云，因此关于云和云层大气的辐射传输的讨论构成了这次GRC的核心。会议将涉及的领域包括：水辐射气候学、吸收和散射、辐射传递-一：双流近似和平均辐射传递-二：动力模式辐射传递-三：创新遥感云观测系统云数据的同化模拟和观测云以及云反馈和辐射敏感性的辐射分析。上述领域代表了辐射和气候领域的基础和前沿研究，预计讨论将促进对该领域的更好了解，并将引发对尚未解决的问题的新研究。更广泛的影响：第四届戈登辐射与气候研究会议有望成为所有参与者--学生和知名研究人员--的一次令人兴奋的教育体验。参加这项活动的学生将受益于更好地了解支配气候系统的基本物理过程之一--电磁辐射的传输--及其与云的相互作用--这是气候系统的主要组成部分，也可能是最不被了解的组成部分。成熟的研究人员应该会受益于该领域的最新进展和新想法。总体而言，思想交流有望通过鼓励进一步探索和发现气候系统而造福社会，从而可能提高我们对人类活动对气候系统的影响作出有用预测和评估的能力。
