Support for International Ocean Science Activities Through the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research

支持海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）的国际海洋学活动，这些活动与美国在海洋科学和海洋科学司的利益有关。1987年开始通过叙利亚研究委员会支助这些国际活动。SCOR为海洋研究提供了一个国际性的、跨学科的、非政府的焦点，并使国家海洋科学界能够（1）参与国际研究项目，（2）确定重要的海洋科学问题并建立工作组来解决这些问题，（3）参与能力建设活动（SCOR国家委员会的40%设在发展中国家）。本申请中的资金部分用于支持SCOR工作组的活动和国际项目，如国际海洋碳协调项目（IOCCP）、GlobalHAB、表层海洋-低层大气研究（SOLAS）、海洋生物地球化学和生态系统综合研究（IMBER）和GEOTRACES。这些活动也得到了其他国际和国家赞助商的支持。这些主要计划起源于美国，并已转向SCOR，为国际规划和协调提供论坛。SCOR的影响已经并将继续在测量协议的标准化，数据共享，船舶时间的协调，以及没有国际协调就不可能扩大的实地研究中表现出来。

Support for the international oceanographic activities of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) that are relevant to U.S. interests in marine sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences. Support of these international activities through SCOR began in 1987. The SCOR provides an international, interdisciplinary, non-governmental focus for ocean research and makes it possible for national ocean science communities to (1) participate in international research projects, (2) identify important ocean science issues and create working groups to address the issues, and (3) participate in capacity-building activities (40% of SCOR national committees are based in developing countries). Funding in this request provides partial support for SCOR Working Group activities, and international projects such as International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), GlobalHAB, Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER), and GEOTRACES. These activities also are supported by other international and national sponsors.These major programs have origins in US and have turned to SCOR to provide a forum for international planning and coordination. SCOR's impact has and will continue to be evident in the standardization of measurement protocols, sharing of data, coordination of ship time, and the enlargement of field studies which would be impossible without international coordination.
