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部的利益有关。通过SCOR对这些国际活动的支持始于1987年。SCOR为海洋研究提供了一个国际性的、跨学科的、非政府的焦点，使国家海洋科学界有可能(1)参与国际研究项目，(2)确定重要的海洋科学问题并建立工作组来解决这些问题，(3)参与能力建设活动（40%的SCOR国家委员会设在发展中国家）。资金支持大型海洋研究项目的国际科学指导委员会（SSC）的活动，确保SCOR在SSC成员、职权范围、科学方向和进展方面监督这些项目。这种支持对SCOR参与和监督主要海洋项目尤其重要。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）、有害藻华的全球生态学和海洋学（GEOHAB）项目、海洋生物地球化学和生态系统综合研究（IMBER）项目和GEOTRACES项目的部分ssc资金将得到支持。这些活动也得到其他国际和国家赞助者的支持。这些主要项目起源于美国，并已转向SCOR为国际规划和协调提供论坛。SCOR的影响已经并将继续在测量规程的标准化、数据共享、船舶时间协调和扩大实地研究方面显现出来，如果没有国际协调，这些工作是不可能完成的。

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.
