The project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is based on the outcomes of deliberations with the broader international scientific community, partners, and sponsors, including members of the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The project pursues 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. Through this project, WCRP brings together scientists from the US and around the world, at all stages of their careers, to advance our understanding of the multi-scale dynamic interactions between components of the climate system and external forcing, 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, which is done through partnerships with other programs such as Future Earth. The project will advance the scientific knowledge and understanding of the Earth’s climate system, and to provide the climate information needed to support climate risk management and solutions. Proposed activities subdivided into two pillars are relevant for and resonate with two of USGCRP’s new pillars (1) Advancing Science and (2) Advancing International Coordination.WCRP will advance understanding of potential tipping points in the Earth system, emphasizing the complex interactions between physical and social systems that could cross thresholds and lead to tipping points. The project will overcome long standing systematic errors in climate models. A rigorous approach will be pursued for climate data collection and analyses to understand the underlying mechanisms leading to extreme events; as well as a diversity of modeling and simulation approaches that span a range of complexity, processes, and spatial resolutions. The project will develop new activities related to precipitation research, including WCRP’s planned Decade of Water. It will connect to the relevant US activities and spin up new efforts, especially over South America and Africa where new alliances are being formed to support the delivery of regional Global Precipitation Experiment activities. End-to-end work on water and water availability will evolve that will specifically also deal with the impact of changes of the hydrological cycle on societies. Funds will also be used to establish regional work in the Americas and on the African continent to co-develop and co-deliver climate information in those locations. This will also cover capacity development and training of the next generation of climate scientists.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.

世界气候研究计划（WCRP）的项目是基于与更广泛的国际科学界，合作伙伴和赞助商，包括美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）的成员进行审议的结果。该项目追求与耦合气候系统相关的前沿科学问题，这些问题太大，太复杂，无法由单个国家，机构，机构或科学学科解决。通过这个项目，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，以促进我们对气候系统组成部分和外部强迫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为政策的制定和以业务为重点的气候服务提供信息，并促进科学能力建设和教育，这是通过与未来地球等其他计划的伙伴关系来实现的。该项目将增进对地球气候系统的科学知识和了解，并提供支持气候风险管理和解决方案所需的气候信息。拟议的活动分为两个支柱，与USGCRP的两个新支柱（1）推进科学和（2）推进国际协调有关并产生共鸣WCRP将促进对地球系统潜在临界点的理解，强调可能跨越阈值并导致临界点的物理和社会系统之间的复杂相互作用。该项目将克服气候模型中长期存在的系统误差。将采用严格的方法收集和分析气候数据，以了解导致极端事件的潜在机制;以及涵盖一系列复杂性、过程和空间分辨率的多种建模和模拟方法。该项目将开展与降水研究有关的新活动，包括世界气候研究方案计划的水十年。它将与美国的相关活动联系起来，并推动新的努力，特别是在南美洲和非洲，那里正在形成新的联盟，以支持区域全球降水实验活动的开展。关于水和水供应的端到端工作将逐步展开，这将具体涉及水文循环变化对社会的影响。资金还将用于在美洲和非洲大陆开展区域工作，在这些地方共同开发和共同提供气候信息。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。
