The scale of influence of global change and the added value of coordinating the scientific activities of the EU and North American countries to assess, predict, and mitigate the effects on marine ecosystems of the North Atlantic and their services is the justification for the development of the BASIN SSA. An important step towards such a coordinated approach is the development of an implementation plan whereby jointly funded international projects can be supported. The development of such a plan is the first key goal of BASIN. The second goal of BASIN is to develop an integrated basin-scale North Atlantic science plan. Programmatic goals will be achieved in working groups including experts from both the EU and North America. As a prerequisite for the development of this science plan BASIN will (1) assess the status of climate-related ecosystem research in the North Atlantic Basin and associated shelf seas, (2) identify gaps in systematic observations and process understanding of atmospheric and oceanic parameters, (3) identify the potential for consolidation of long-term observations from EU and international databases for modeling and prediction. The BASIN science plan will focus on: (1) Resolving the natural variability, potential impacts and feedbacks of global change on the structure, function, and dynamics of ecosystems; (2) Improving the understanding of marine ecosystem functioning; and (3) Developing ecosystem-based management strategies. BASIN will contribute significantly to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) 10-Year Implementation Plan via the development of comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained observations of the earth system, improved monitoring of the state of the earth, increased understanding of earth processes, and enhanced prediction. This award supports U.S. participation in the BASIN project.

全球变化的影响范围以及协调欧盟和北美国家的科学活动以评估、预测和减轻对北大西洋海洋生态系统及其服务的影响的附加值，是发展南太平洋盆地的理由。采取这种协调办法的一个重要步骤是制定一项执行计划，从而可以支持联合供资的国际项目。制定这样一个计划是BASIN的第一个关键目标。BASIN的第二个目标是制定一个综合的北大西洋流域科学计划。方案目标将在包括欧盟和北美专家的工作组中实现。作为制定这一科学计划的先决条件，BASIN将（1）评估北大西洋盆地和相关陆架海与气候有关的生态系统研究的现状，（2）确定系统观测和对大气和海洋参数的过程理解方面的差距，（3）确定整合欧盟和国际数据库长期观测的潜力，以进行建模和预测。流域科学计划将侧重于：（1）解决自然变异、全球变化对生态系统结构、功能和动态的潜在影响和反馈;（2）增进对海洋生态系统功能的了解;（3）制定基于生态系统的管理战略。盆地将通过发展对地球系统的全面、协调和持续的观测，改进对地球状况的监测，增进对地球过程的了解和加强预测，为全球对地观测分布式系统（全球测地系统）十年期执行计划作出重大贡献。该奖项支持美国参与BASIN项目。
