Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission 50th Anniversary

PI已申请资助，将于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：国际海洋学委员会在国际海洋科学发展中的领导作用”。这个特刊的想法来自于美国政府间海洋学委员会（IOC）国家委员会（向国务院和美国驻IOC代表汇报）内部关于美国参与50周年纪念活动的讨论。这本书被提议作为美国支持的对？50 ?国际奥委会的庆祝活动，将突出由于美国与国际奥委会之间强有力的伙伴关系而实施的重要国际科学，表明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年政府间海洋学委员会（海洋学委员会）在联合国教育、科学及文化组织（教科文组织）成立以来，美国一直是该委员会的积极成员国。美国特别感兴趣的是，海洋学委员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（国家海洋和大气管理局、国家科学基金会、美国国务院）每年向海洋学委员会提供直接和间接资金约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。它是一个论坛，讨论诸如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。国际奥委会的能力建设使命是通过全体会员国的共同努力，帮助发展中国家。NSF对IOC的贡献至少有25年了。美国国家科学基金会（NSF）为纪念海洋学委员会对海洋科学贡献50周年的TOS特刊提供资助似乎是合适的。更广泛的影响：本特刊的建议章节涵盖了海洋学中广泛的主题和当前方向，从解决当代海洋学主题所需的基本方法和方法，包括海洋环流、碳循环、海洋生物资源、有害藻华和问题。将讨论处理这些问题的有关时间和空间尺度，并将讨论综合数据的方法，以便使其对科学界和管理界以及决策者和制定政策有意义。这些各自研究和管理领域的专家的潜在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.
