Planning Ocean CLIVAR

9632686戴维斯在这个项目中，国际海洋研究所将监督组织一个研讨会，以解决与气候有关的物理海洋学研究的未来问题。海洋在气候中的作用一直是世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)的中心主题，预计将成为研究气候变异性(CLIVAR)的重大国际努力的重要组成部分。到目前为止，CLIVAR的规划是复杂和多学科的，出现了三个可管理的子方案，分别侧重于季节到年际时间尺度、十年到百年时间尺度和人为气候变化。此次研讨会将通过海洋CLIVAR项目补充单独的时间尺度、多学科的国际规划，该项目涵盖所有三个组成部分。其目的是让社会上的广大群体参与，以确定为实现拉丁美洲和加勒比海洋研究所多学科科学计划的目标而需要回答的关键海洋学问题，并制定一项执行计划来回答这些问题。将召开一个单独的研讨会，其中包括三个小组，重点是持续观察、建模和过程研究。将编写一份报告，征求社会意见，并为美国对CLIVAR国际讲习班的贡献提供意见。第一次讲习班定于1996年9月举行。在国际规划工作完成后，将制定一项关于海洋气候变化研究的执行计划。***

9632686 Davis In this project, the PI will oversee the organization of a workshop to address the future of climate-related physical oceanographic research. The ocean's role in climate has been a central theme in the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and is expected to be a crucial ingredient of a major international effort to study Climate Variability (CLIVAR). To date, planning for CLIVAR has been complex and multi-disciplinary, with three manageable subprograms emerging, focusing, respectively, on seasonal to interannual time scales, decadal to centennial time scales, and anthropogenic climate change. This workshop will complement the separate-timescale, multidisciplinary international planning with an oceanographic program, Ocean CLIVAR, that spans all three components. The objectives are to engage a broad segment of the community to identify the key oceanographic questions that need to be answered to meet the objectives of the multi-disciplinary science plan for CLIVAR, and to develop an implementation plan to answer these questions. A single workshop, with three subgroups focused on sustained observations, modeling, and process studies will be convened. A report will be produced for community comment and to provide input for a U.S. contribution to the international CLIVAR workshops, the first of which is scheduled for September, 1996. After completion of the international planning effort, an implementation plan for Ocean CLIVAR will be developed. ***
