Collaborative Research: Forum for Arctic Modeling and Observational Synthesis (FAMOS)--Phase 2: Focus on High and Very High Resolution

该奖项是为了支持美国领导的关于北冰洋的想法、建模技能和知识交流的国际论坛。目标是提高我们对推动北冰洋变化的海洋和海冰过程和机制的理解。尽管其未来的重点将在很大程度上取决于参与者随着研究的发展所作的决定，但目前确定了三个广泛的感兴趣的领域：以高和极高的空间和时间分辨率进行建模和观测的发展和分析，查明模型中的不确定性和误差，以及改进现有模型的建议。国际社会协调一致地调查北冰洋变异性是评估不同模型师、科学团体或机构所作结果和结论不确定性的最佳方式。此外，它还确保利用世界其他地区的研究人才和支出。这个将产生更广泛影响的项目的结果将是一个综合了观测和建模工作的综合体，朝着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型的总目标迈进。该活动最大的更广泛的影响之一是教育，因为论坛专门针对参与该项目的年轻科学家的发展，为对现有模型的批判性分析提供指导方针，并由新一代北极建模人员对北极模型进行富有成效的改进和发展。该奖项的目的是利用高分辨率和极高分辨率的模式和观测，调查次网格过程在北冰洋区域海洋和海冰模式中的作用。该项目将专注于针对重要的科学问题，并加强北极海洋模型师、理论家和天文学家之间的合作和协调。这项工作将通过电话会议、虚拟研讨会、时事通讯和为年轻和发展中的北极研究人员开设的为期一天的学校举行的年度会议来管理。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：(1)对具有分辨率的模拟进行协调研究，以解决小尺度过程(例如，解决涡旋和内波)；(2)为新的研究人员举办科学会议和学校，包括虚拟电话会议；(3)建立模型师、理论家和观测者团队，研究北极海冰、海洋动力学和热力学的专题问题；(4)与侧重于北极/全球气候(大气、陆地、冰冻圈)其他方面的其他类似项目开展协作；(5)向更广泛的社区传播研究结果；以及(Vi)培训新一代海洋和海冰观测者和模型师。最重要的贡献可能是高分辨率和极高分辨率的建模和观测的国际协调发展和分析的结果；查明不确定因素和误差以及这些误差和模型差异的原因；以及通过实施北极过程的新物理学，改进现有的区域冰-海耦合模型和全球气候模型的建议。

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.
