Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission 50th Anniversary

国际海洋学协会要求提供资金，以便在2010年9月出版《海洋学》杂志特刊(第23卷，第3期)，题为“庆祝政府间海洋学委员会成立50周年：政府间海洋学委员会在国际海洋科学发展中的领导地位”。这一特别问题的想法源于美国政府间海洋学委员会(IOC)全国委员会(向国务院和美国驻IOC代表报告)关于美国参与50周年纪念的讨论。这本书是美国支持的第50届？国际奥委会的庆祝活动将突出美国和国际奥委会之间牢固的伙伴关系所实施的重要国际科学，显示美国对国际奥委会在这一伙伴关系中所支持的重要国际努力的赞赏，并教育年轻的科学家关于国际奥委会在促进与美国合作的国际研究合作方面的作用。自1960年在联合国教育、科学及文化组织(教科文组织)成立以来，美国一直是政府间海洋学委员会(IOC)的活跃成员国。美国特别感兴趣的是，国际奥委会在促进和协调收集和分发海洋数据方面发挥的关键作用。美国(NOAA、NSF、美国国务院)每年向国际奥委会提供约150万美元的直接和间接资金。海委会作为协调进入专属经济区以收集海洋数据的政府间机制十分重要。它是处理海洋数据交换政策和国际商定的长期海洋观测活动标准和战略等问题的论坛。国际奥委会的能力建设使命通过所有成员国的共同努力帮助发展中国家。至少25年来，NSF一直在为国际奥委会做出贡献。NSF为纪念IOC为海洋科学做出贡献50周年而发行的TOS特刊提供资金似乎是合适的。更广泛的影响：本期特刊的拟议章节涵盖了海洋学的广泛专题和当前方向，从处理当代海洋学专题所需的基本方针和方法，包括海洋环流、碳循环、海洋生物资源、有害藻类水华和问题。将讨论处理这些专题的有关时间和空间尺度，并将讨论综合数据的方法，以便使数据对科学界和管理界以及决策者和政策制定者有意义。这些研究和管理领域的专家的未来作者名单令人印象深刻。

The PI has requested funding to publish a special issue of Oceanography magazine in September 2010 (Volume 23, Number 3) titled: "A Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission: IOC Leadership in the Evolution of International Ocean Science." The idea for this special issue emerged from discussions within the U.S. National Committee for the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) (reporting to the State Department and the U.S. Representative to the IOC) pertaining to U.S involvement in the 50th anniversary. This volume, proposed as part of the U.S.-supported contributions to ?the 50th? celebrations of the IOC, will highlight important international science that has been implemented as a result of the strong partnership between the United States and IOC, show U.S. appreciation of the important international efforts the IOC has supported in this partnership, and educate younger scientists about the role of the IOC in fostering international research cooperation in partnership with the United States.The United States has been an active Member State of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) since its establishment at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1960. Of particular interest to the United States is the key role played by the IOC in facilitating and coordinating the collection and distribution of ocean data. The United States (NOAA, NSF, US State Department) contributes about US$1.5 million per year to the IOC in direct and indirect funds. IOC is important as the intergovernmental mechanism for coordinating access to exclusive economic zones for purposes of ocean data collection. It serves as a forum for addressing issues such as ocean data exchange policies and internationally agreed standards and strategies for long-term ocean observing activities. The capacity building mission of the IOC helps developing countries through the combined efforts of all Member States. NSF has been providing its contribution to IOC for at least 25 years. It seems fitting that NSF fund a TOS special issue commemorating the 50 years of IOC contributions to ocean science. Broader Impacts: The proposed chapters for this special issue cover a wide array of topics and current directions in oceanography, ranging from basic approaches and methodologies needed to address contemporary topics in oceanography, including ocean circulation, C cycling, living marine resources, harmful algal blooms and problems. Relevant time and space scales for addressing these topics will be discussed and approaches to synthesis of data in order to make it meaningful to the scientific and management communities as well as decision makers and formulating policy will be covered. The list of prospective authors that are experts in these respective research and management areas is impressive.
