Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission 50th Anniversary

国际海洋学学会已申请资金，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：海委会在国际海洋科学发展中的领导作用”。“这一特别问题的想法来自政府间海洋学委员会（IOC）美国国家委员会（向国务院和美国驻IOC代表报告）内部关于美国参与50周年纪念活动的讨论。本卷是作为美国-支持捐款？50号？国际奥委会的庆祝活动，将突出重要的国际科学，已实施的结果，美国和国际奥委会之间的强有力的伙伴关系，显示美国的重要国际努力，国际奥委会支持这一伙伴关系的赞赏，并教育年轻科学家了解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。美国一直积极参与国际奥委会的活动，自1960年联合国教育、科学及文化组织（教科文组织）设立政府间海洋学委员会（海委会）以来，一直是该委员会的成员国。美国特别感兴趣的是海委会在促进和协调海洋数据的收集和分发方面发挥的关键作用。美国（NOAA、NSF、美国国务院）每年直接和间接向国际奥委会捐款约150万美元。海洋学委员会作为协调为收集海洋数据而进入专属经济区的政府间机制是重要的。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是通过所有会员国的共同努力帮助发展中国家。NSF向IOC提供捐款至少已有25年。国家科学基金会为海洋观测系统特刊提供资金，以纪念国际海洋学委员会对海洋科学的50年贡献，这似乎是合适的。更广泛的影响： 这一特刊的拟议章节涵盖了海洋学的广泛专题和当前方向，从处理海洋学当代专题所需的基本办法和方法，包括海洋环流、碳循环、海洋生物资源、有害藻华和各种问题。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，以便使数据对科学和管理界以及决策者和制定政策具有意义。在这些各自的研究和管理领域的专家的潜在作者名单是令人印象深刻的。

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.
