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

该奖项旨在支持美国领导的国际论坛，以交流有关北冰洋的想法、建模技能和知识。目标是提高我们对驱动北冰洋变化的海洋和海冰过程和机制的了解。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做出的决定，但现在确定了三个广泛的兴趣领域：在高和极高空间和时间分辨率下进行建模和观测的开发和分析，模型中的不确定性和错误的识别以及对现有模型的改进的建议。国际社会协调一致地调查北冰洋变化是评估不同建模者、科学团体或机构得出的结果和结论的不确定性的最佳方式。此外，它还确保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，以实现开发先进的北极模型的总体目标，这些模型能够准确地模拟过去、描述现在并预测未来的北极状况。该活动最广泛的影响之一是教育性的，因为该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以及新一代北极模型师对北极模型的富有成效的改进和发展提供了指导。该奖项的目标是采用高分辨率和超高分辨率模型和观测来研究子网格过程在北冰洋区域海洋和海冰模型中的作用。该项目将侧重于解决重要的科学问题，并加强北极海洋建模者、理论家和观测学家之间的合作与协调。这项工作将通过电话会议、虚拟研讨会、新闻通讯以及与面向年轻和发展中的北极研究人员的一日学校举行的年度会议进行管理。该项目将通过以下方式支持整套北极模型和观测的综合： (i) 通过解决小规模过程（例如，解决涡流和内波）的分辨率开展建模协调研究； (ii) 为新研究者举办科学会议和学校，包括虚拟电话会议； (iii) 创建由建模者、理论家和观测家组成的团队，研究北极海冰以及海洋动力学和热力学的热门问题； (iv) 与其他类似项目开展合作，重点关注北极/全球气候的其他方面（大气、陆地、冰冻圈）； (v) 向更广泛的社区传播调查结果； (vi) 培训新一代海洋和海冰观测员和建模者。最重要的贡献可能是高分辨率和甚高分辨率建模和观测的国际协调开发和分析的结果；识别不确定性和错误以及这些错误和模型差异的原因，并通过为北极过程实施新的物理学来改进现有的区域耦合冰海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.
