The Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA) will manage and coordinate a multi-institutional post-doctoral program that will help prepare the next generation of climate- and Earth-system modelers to work at major U.S. modeling centers. Research conducted by the post-doctoral research associates in the program, in collaboration with and mentored by scientists at the leading national laboratories in climate modeling, will advance understanding of climate dynamics and variability through intensive modeling. The expected outcome is rapid acceleration of improvements in U.S. climate models.The program will be integrated with the research program already in place at COLA and will enable highly-qualified scientists at the post-doctoral level to gain experience working in the national climate- and Earth-system modeling laboratories, including the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the Department of Energy laboratories that are engaged in various aspects of climate modeling. The program is envisioned to expand to include laboratories operated by other agencies as well. The post-doctoral program will provide a home for talented and highly-qualified individuals to conduct original research under the guidance of mentors from COLA and in collaboration with scientists at the Nation's climate modeling laboratories. The program will also address a critical need for scientists who are capable of modeling the Earth system at the system level, which is essential in order to provide the Nation with the scientific information that will be needed to make decisions on mitigation of and adaptation to the consequences of global climate change.

海洋-陆地-大气研究中心(COLA)将管理和协调一个多机构的博士后项目，该项目将帮助培养下一代气候和地球系统建模人员，以便在美国主要的建模中心工作。该项目中的博士后研究助理与领先的国家气候建模实验室的科学家合作并在他们的指导下进行的研究，将通过密集的建模促进对气候动力学和可变性的理解。预计的结果是美国气候模型的改进将迅速加快。该计划将与可口可乐已经实施的研究计划相结合，并将使高素质的博士后科学家获得在国家气候和地球系统模型实验室工作的经验，包括国家大气研究中心和能源部实验室，这些实验室从事气候模型的各个方面。该计划预计将扩大到包括其他机构运营的实验室。博士后项目将为有才华和高资质的个人提供一个家，在可口可乐的导师的指导下，并与国家气候建模实验室的科学家合作进行原创研究。该计划还将满足对能够在系统层面对地球系统建模的科学家的迫切需求，这对于向国家提供做出缓解和适应全球气候变化后果的决策所需的科学信息至关重要。
