A Workshop on Using Paleo-climate Model/Data Comparisons to Constrain Future Projections and Sensitivities; Honolulu, Hawaii; March 1-3, 2012

该奖项将部分支持举办一次研讨会，以帮助组织古气候模型师和数据生成器参加气专委AR5的讨论。具体地说，该奖项将用于资助六名早期职业研究人员和研究生参加研讨会的旅费，并提供一些会议期间的餐饮支持。古气候模拟/数据研究活动首次被纳入耦合模拟相互比较项目(CMIP5)活动。讲习班的一个主要目标是确保古气候研究人员了解将在这些建模/数据比较活动中采用的最佳做法。讲习班的成果应是更好地利用古气候模式/数据活动推断气候对外部作用力的敏感性，以及考虑到模式输出和古气候代理重建中的不确定性的战略。

This award will partially support a workshop to help organize paleoclimate modelers and data generators for participation in the IPCC AR5 deliberations. Specifically, the award will be used to support the travel costs for six early career researchers and graduate students to participate in the workshop as well as provide some support for meals during the meeting. For the first time, paleoclimate modeling/data research activities are being incorporated into the Coupled Modeling Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) activities. A major goal of the workshop is to ensure that the community of paleoclimate researchers is aware of the best practices to be applied in these modeling/data comparison activities. The outcome of the workshop should be better approaches for using paleoclimate model/data activities to infer climate sensitivities to external forcings and strategies to account for uncertainties in both the model output and paleoclimate proxy reconstructions.
