Collaborative Research: AOMIP: Synthesis and integration

北冰洋模式比对项目（AOMIP）的科学目标是以协调的方式验证和改进北冰洋模式，研究北冰洋和海冰在季节到年代际时间尺度上的变率，并确定观测到的变化的机制。这个项目吗?实际目标是维持和加强已建立的AOMIP国际合作，以减少模型预测中的不确定性（通过协调的实验和研究进行模型验证和改进）；支持北极一整套模式的综合；组织科学会议和研讨会；与其他MIPs进行合作，特别关注模型改进和分析；向更广泛的社区传播AOMIP工作的结果；培训新一代的海洋和海冰建模师。主要的AOMIP活动将包括综合(识别模型之间一致的错误，提出解决方案，并找到最合适和可靠的耦合冰？用于完全耦合的区域和全球气候模式的海洋模式和过程研究（为了改进模式，利用模式结果和观测调查过程）。特别是，AOMIP将侧重于如何更好地模拟北极盐斜，它创造了将常年海冰与大西洋水层隔离所必需的分层，如何避免恢复和通量校正，以及影响海洋-海冰-大气系统热通量的不同机制的作用。将继续研究潮汐在北极气候中的作用、应力驱动和对流驱动混合的参数化以及小中尺度湍流（涡旋和环流）的作用。

The Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP) science goals are to validate and improve Arctic Ocean models in a coordinated fashion and investigate variability of the Arctic Ocean and sea ice at seasonal to decadal time scales, and identify mechanisms responsible for the observed changes. The project?s practical goals are to maintain and enhance the established AOMIP international collaboration to reduce uncertainties in model predictions (model validation and improvements via coordinated experiments and studies); support synthesis across the suite of Arctic models; organize scientific meetings and workshops; conduct collaboration with other MIPs with a special focus on model improvements and analysis; disseminate findings of AOMIP effort to broader communities; and train a new generation of ocean and sea-ice modelers.The major AOMIP activities will include synthesis (to identify consistent errors across models, propose solutions, and find the most suitable and reliable coupled ice ? ocean models for use in fully coupled regional and global climate models) and process studies (to improve models, investigate processes using model results and observations. In particular, AOMIP will focus on how to better model the arctic halocline which creates the stratification necessary to insulate perennial sea ice from the Atlantic Water layer, how to avoid restoring and flux correction, and the role of different mechanisms influencing heat fluxes in the ocean - sea-ice - atmosphere system. Investigation will continue of the tidal role in arctic climate, parameterization of stress-driven and convection-driven mixing and the role of small meso- and large-scale turbulence (eddies and gyres).
