Collaborative Support for ARCSS-OAII

这项建议寻求支持由Don Perovich担任主席的OAII科学指导委员会和由Lou Codispotti领导的OAII科学管理办公室，任期两年，从2002年12月到2004年12月。这项拟议的计划与ARCS计划的目标相同：了解北极系统的各种过程，并为预测环境变化提供科学基础。该计划将通过促进北极系统科学的跨学科研究来努力实现这些目标。具体目标包括：1)促进北极系统的跨学科工作。2)向科学界和公众传播关于ARCS-OAII的信息。3)加强OAII项目与其他ARCS组件之间的沟通。4)为现有的和发展中的倡议提供科学指导和鼓励，5)促进从目前的ARCS结构演变为更多跨学科的未来结构。

This proposal seeks support for the OAII Science Steering Committee, chaired by Don Perovich, and the OAII Science Management Office, directed by Lou Codispotti for a two-year period from December 2002 through December 2004. This proposed program shares the goals of the ARCSS program: to understand the myriad processes of the Arctic system and advance the scientific basis for predicting environmental change. The program will be working towards these goals by facilitating interdisciplinary research on Arctic System Science. Specific objectives include: 1) Fostering interdisciplinary work on the Arctic system. 2) Disseminating information on ARCSS-OAII to both the scientific community and the general public. 3) Enhancing communication between OAII projects and other ARCSS components. 4) Providing scientific guidance and encouragement to existing and developing initiatives and 5) Facilitating the evolution from the current structure of ARCSS to a more interdisciplinary future structure.
