2005 SOLAS Summer School

温室气体和气溶胶的排放越来越被认为是对生活质量和世界经济的威胁。这种威胁需要密切观察、预测能力和政策决策。需要对温室气体和气溶胶源和汇进行负责任的检测、归因和核查。这种核查依赖于在区域和全球两级对温室气体和气溶胶的海气交换进行量化。在《京都议定书》签署之后，监测温室气体的政治必要性远远超过了科学认识。由IGBP/SCOR/CACGP/WCRP赞助的新的国际海洋表面-低层大气研究（SOLAS）旨在定量了解海洋和大气之间关键的生物地球化学-物理相互作用和反馈，同时了解这种耦合系统如何影响和受气候，天气和环境变化的影响。哥伦比亚大学将为参加将于2005年举行的第二届国际SOLAS暑期学校的16名美国学生、3名讲师和2名技术人员提供旅行和后勤支持（http://www.uea.ac.uk/env/solas/summerschool/）。该学院让年轻的研究人员与SOLAS研究的不同组成部分的领先科学家接触。学校采用理论框架、实践练习和实验室实验来促进更好的学习环境。最重要的是，学校为对SOLAS科学问题感兴趣的年轻研究人员提供了相互见面的机会，并形成了能够解决该领域和社会面临的重大未来挑战的联盟。我们当前的新科学家最有可能迎接解决重大地球系统问题的挑战。因此，必须加强和促进美国与其他国际科学界在这一领域的互动。这所学校在不同国籍和背景的成熟科学家之间建立了必要的联系，当这些学生自己成为该领域的领导者时，这种联系将被发扬光大。

ABSTRACTOCE-0537073Greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions are increasingly recognized as a threat to the quality of life as well as to the economies of the world. This threat requires close observation, forecasting capabilities, and policy decisions. Accountable detection, attribution, and verification of greenhouse gas and aerosol sources and sinks are required. Such verification relies on the quantification of air-sea exchange of greenhouse gases and aerosols, both at the regional and global levels. In the wake of the Kyoto agreement, the political imperative for monitoring greenhouse gases is running well ahead of scientific understanding. The new international research initiative on the Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS, sponsored by IGBP/SCOR/CACGP/WCRP) aims to achieve quantitative understanding of key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere, while understanding how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate, weather and environmental change.This award to Columbia University will provide travel and logistical support for sixteen U.S. students, three lecturers, and two technicians to participate in the 2nd International SOLAS Summer School to be held in 2005 (http://www.uea.ac.uk/env/solas/summerschool/). The School brings young researchers in contact with leading scientists of different components of SOLAS research. The school uses a theoretical framework, practical exercises, and laboratory experiments to promote an enhanced learning environment. Most importantly, the school provides the opportunity for young researchers interested in SOLAS science issues to meet one another and to form alliances capable of addressing the significant future challenges that face the field and society. It is our current new scientists who are most likely to meet the challenges of solving significant Earth system problems. For this reason, interaction between the US and other international scientific communities in this field must be strengthened and promoted. The school forges the necessary bonds between maturing scientists of different nationalities and backgrounds, which will be carried forward as these students become, themselves, leaders in the field.
