Support for International Research Projects and Working Groups Through SCOR

继续支持海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）的国际海洋学活动，这些活动与美国在海洋科学和海洋科学司的利益有关。1987年开始通过叙利亚研究委员会支助这些国际活动。SCOR为海洋研究提供了一个国际性、跨学科、非政府的焦点，并使国家海洋科学界能够（1）参与国际研究项目，（2）确定重要的海洋科学问题并成立工作组来解决这些问题，和（3）参与能力建设活动（40%的SCOR国家委员会设在发展中国家）。大规模的海洋研究项目确保SCOR在SSC成员资格、职权范围以及科学方向和进展方面对这些项目进行监督。这种支持对于海洋研究委员会参与和监督主要海洋项目特别重要。为全球海洋生态系统动力学（GLOBEC）项目、表层海洋-低层大气研究（SOLAS）、全球有害藻类密集繁殖生态学和海洋学（GEOHAB）方案、海洋生物地球化学和生态系统综合研究（IMBER）项目和GEOTRACES项目的SSC提供了部分资助。这些活动也得到其他国际和国家赞助者的支持。更广泛的影响这些主要计划起源于美国，并已转向SCOR提供一个论坛，为国际规划和协调。 SCOR的影响已经并将继续在测量协议的标准化，数据共享，船舶时间的协调，以及没有国际协调就不可能扩大的实地研究中表现出来。

Continuing support is provided for the international oceanographic activities of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) that are relevant to U.S. interests in marine sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences. Support of these international activities through SCOR began in 1987. The SCOR provides an international, interdisciplinary, non-governmental focus for ocean research and makes it possible for national ocean science communities to (1) participate in international research projects, (2) identify important ocean science issues and create working groups to address the issues, and (3) participate in capacity-building activities (40% of SCOR national committees are based in developing countries).Funds support the activities of international Scientific Steering Committees (SSCs) of large-scale ocean research projects ensure SCOR oversight of these projects in terms of SSC membership, terms of reference, and scientific directions and progress. The support is especially important for SCOR involvement in and oversight of the major ocean projects. Funding is provided for partial support of the SSCs of the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) project, the Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), the Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (GEOHAB) program, the Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) project, and the GEOTRACES project. These activities also are supported by other international and national sponsors. Broader ImpactsThese major programs have origins in U.S. and have turned to SCOR to provide a forum for international planning and coordination. SCOR's impact has and will continue to be evident in the standardization of measurement protocols, sharing of data, coordination of ship time, and the enlargement of field studies which would be impossible without international coordination.
