Collaborative Research: Forum for Arctic Modeling and Observational Synthesis (FAMOS) phase 2: focus on high and very high resolution modeling

该奖项旨在支持一个由美国主导的国际论坛，以交流有关北冰洋的思想、建模技能和知识。其目标是提高我们对海洋和海冰过程以及驱动北冰洋变化的机制的理解。虽然其未来的重点将在很大程度上取决于参与者的决定，随着他们的研究发展，现在确定了三个广泛的感兴趣的领域：在高和非常高的空间和时间分辨率下发展和分析建模和观测，识别模型中的不确定性和错误，以及对现有模型的改进提出建议。国际社会协调一致的北冰洋变率调查方法是评估不同建模者、科学团体或机构得出的结果和结论的不确定性的最佳方法。此外，它还确保了利用世界其他地区的研究人才和支出。该项目的结果将产生更广泛的影响，它将综合观测和建模工作，以实现开发能够准确模拟过去、描述现在和预测未来北极条件的先进北极模式的总体目标。该活动最大的广泛影响之一是教育，因为论坛专门针对参与该项目的年轻科学家的发展，为现有模型的批判性分析提供指导，并为新一代北极建模者提供卓有成效的北极模型改进和发展。该奖项的目标是采用高分辨率和非常高分辨率的模型和观测来研究子网格过程在北极海域区域海洋和海冰模型中的作用。该项目将重点关注重要的科学问题，并加强北极海洋建模者、理论家和观测者之间的合作与协调。这项工作将通过电话会议、虚拟研讨会、新闻通讯和为年轻和发展中的北极研究人员举办的为期一天的学校的年度会议进行管理。该项目将通过以下方式支持北极一整套模式和观测的综合：(i)开展协调研究，以分辨率解决小尺度过程（例如，解决涡流和内波）；为新的调查人员举行科学会议和学校，包括虚拟电话会议；建立由建模人员、理论家和观测人员组成的小组，研究北极海冰、海洋动力学和热力学的专题问题；与以北极/全球气候（大气、陆地、冰冻圈）的其他方面为重点的其他类似项目进行协作；向更广泛的社区传播调查结果；培训新一代海洋和海冰观测者和建模人员。最重要的贡献可能是国际上协调发展和分析高分辨率和超高分辨率模拟和观测的结果；确定不确定性和误差以及这些误差和模式差异的原因，并建议通过实施北极过程的新物理来改进现有的区域耦合冰海模式和全球气候模式。

This award is to support a US-led international forum for the exchange of ideas, modeling skill and knowledge on the Arctic Ocean. The goal is to improve our understanding of oceanic and sea-ice processes and mechanisms driving Arctic Ocean changes. Although its future focus will depend to a large degree on the decisions of the participants as their research develops, there are three broad areas of interest now identified: the development and analysis of modeling and observing at high and very high spatial and temporal resolution, identification of uncertainties and errors in models, and recommendations for improvements of existing models. A coordinated international community approach to the investigation of Arctic Ocean variability is the best way to assess uncertainty in results and conclusions made by different modelers, scientific groups, or institutions. Moreover, it ensures leveraging of research talent and expenditures in other parts of the world. The results of this project that will have broader impacts will be is a synthesis that integrates observational and modeling efforts toward the overall goal of developing advanced Arctic models able to accurately simulate the past, describe the present, and predict future Arctic conditions. One of the largest broader impacts of the activity is educational, because the forum specifically targets the development of young scientists participating in the project, provides guidelines for critical analysis of the existing models, and fruitful improvements and developments of the Arctic models by a new generation of Arctic modelers. The objective of this award is to employ high and very high resolution models and observations to investigate the role of sub-grid processes in regional ocean and sea ice models of the Arctic seas. The project will be focused on targeting important scientific problems and enhancing collaboration and coordination among arctic marine modelers, theoreticians, and observationalists. This work will be managed in teleconferences, virtual workshops, newsletters, and annual meetings with one-day schools for young and developing arctic researchers. The project will support synthesis across the suite of Arctic models and observations by: (i) Conducting coordinated research on modeling with resolutions resolving small scale processes (for example, resolving eddies and internal waves); (ii) Holding scientific meetings and schools for new investigators including virtual teleconferences; (iii) Creating teams of modelers, theoreticians, and observationalists to work on topical issues of Arctic sea ice and oceanic dynamics and thermodynamics; (iv) Conducting collaboration with other similar projects focused on other aspects of arctic/global climate (atmospheric, terrestrial, cryospheric); (v) Disseminating findings to broader communities; and (vi) Training a new generation of ocean and sea-ice observationalists and modelers. The most significant contributions are likely to be results of internationally coordinated development and analysis of modeling and observing at high and very high resolution; identification of uncertainties and errors and causes of these errors and model discrepancies, and recommendations for improvements of existing regional coupled ice-ocean models and Global Climate Models, by implementing new physics for Arctic processes.
