Support for the World Climate Research Programme

该奖项支持世界气候研究计划（WCRP）。世界气候研究方案正在带头确保全球、区域和国家气候研究界建立持久、严格和科学的基础，以满足对可靠和有用的区域气候信息的迫切需求。世界气候研究方案正在通过国际协调寻求与耦合气候系统有关的前沿科学问题，这些问题太大、太复杂，无法由一个国家、机构、机构或科学学科来解决。在这样做的过程中，WCRP汇集了来自美国和世界各地的科学家，在他们职业生涯的各个阶段，以促进对气候系统组成部分和外部强迫因素之间的多尺度动态相互作用的理解，以及解决和研究人类对气候和社会的作用。WCRP为政策和业务重点气候服务的发展提供信息，并与其他计划合作促进科学能力建设和教育。建模和观测能力以及社会区域气候信息中心将促进活动的国际协调。预期成果将包括：在多年至十年时间尺度上，在全球和区域范围内进行预警和预测的综合能力;在地方范围内有意义的气候信息;考虑到人类和自然系统的方法;以及代表地球过去、当前和未来可能状况的数字和动态计算模型。宗教与和平会议还通过与国家和国际科学伙伴合作，为进行持续评估、宣传和教育作出了重大贡献。WCRP的活动直接有助于美国全球变化研究计划的目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). WCRP is taking the lead in ensuring that the global, regional, and national climate research communities create the enduring, rigorous and scientific foundation required to meet the urgent demand for robust and useful regional climate information. WCRP is pursuing – through international coordination – frontier scientific questions related to the coupled climate system that are too large and too complex to be tackled by a single nation, agency, institution, or scientific discipline. In doing so, WCRP brings together scientists from the US and around the world, at all stages of their careers, to advance the understanding of the multi-scale dynamic interactions between components of the climate system and external forcing factors, as well as addressing and studying the role of humans on climate and society. WCRP informs the development of policies and operationally focused climate services, and promotes science capacity building and education in partnership with other programs.Hubs for modeling and observations capabilities and for regional climate information for society will facilitate international coordination of the activities. The expected outcomes would include integrated capabilities for warning and prediction on global and regional scales at the multi-annual to decadal timescales; climate information meaningful at the local scale; approaches that take into account human and natural systems; and digital and dynamic computational models that represent past, current, and possible future conditions on the Earth. WCRP also contributes significantly through its collaboration with national and international scientific partners to conducting sustained assessments, communication and education. WCRP activities contribute directly to the goals of the US Global Change Research Program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
