2003 Coastal Ocean Modeling Gordon Conference

请求支持2003年戈登沿海海洋模拟研究会议。所要求的资金将抵消邀请演讲者的旅行和会议费用，以及学生和博士后的特别要求，用于长途旅行。这次会议致力于了解和预测沿海海洋中发生的过程。沿海海洋中的许多重要现象要么是高度地点特异性的，要么是非线性的，要么两者兼而有之，并且调用耦合的物理，化学和生物过程的混合。今天的新奇之处在于模拟的范围和复杂性，这是政府、工业和科学界感兴趣的，这些主题是大规模新数据运动和大型社区合作的主题，旨在将理论、实验和模拟编组到科学资源管理中。了解模拟的科学应用是本次会议的另一个重点。互补海岸海洋环流GRC侧重于海岸海洋环流动力学及其相关过程的研究。每四年举办一次（1997年、2001年、2005年、2008年）。海岸带海洋模拟GRC侧重于多过程、多时空尺度存在并相互作用的区域尺度数值模拟。每四年举办一次（1999年、2003年、2007年、2008年）。因此，这两个相关但不同的grc每两年举行一次。项目委员会的结构是相互补充的。在2003年，将强调六个主题：业务预报、资料同化、大陆架-海洋相互作用、物理/生物耦合、拉格朗日方法和湍流闭合方案。一个由私立和州立大学以及科学机构组成的项目委员会广泛代表了研究界。有35位资深人士同意作为领导团队参加会议，发表演讲和/或组织会议。拟议会议的更广泛影响包括在多学科科学领域播下新的基本思想和方法；通过操作数据同化模式缩小观测科学与理论科学之间的明显差距；在专门从事科学资源管理的机构内建立业务系统；以及跨越大学、政府机构和私营部门的机构界限，将该领域的年轻学生和学者与已有的资深同行融合在一起。

Support is requested for the 2003 Gordon Research Conference on Coastal Ocean Modeling. The funds requested will offset travel and conference fee costs of invited speakers and special requests from students and postdoctoral fellows, for long-distance travel. This conference is devoted to the understanding and prediction of processes occurring in the Coastal Ocean. Many important phenomena in the coastal ocean are either highly site-specific, or nonlinear, or both, and invoke a blend of coupled physical, chemical, and biological processes. What is novel today is the scope and complexity of the simulations which are of interest to governmental, industrial, and scientific communities, and these topics are the subject of massive new data campaigns and large community partnerships aimed at marshalling theory, experiment, and simulation toward scientific resource management. Understanding the scientific use of simulations is an added focus of this Conference. The complementary Coastal Ocean Circulation GRC is focused on coastal ocean circulation dynamics and related process studies. It is also held quadrennially (1997, 2001, 2005, - - -). The Coastal Ocean Modeling GRC is focused on numerical modeling on a regional scale where multiple processes and space-time scales exist and interact. Again, it is held quadrennially (1999, 2003, 2007, - - -). Thus, these two related but different GRCs are held in alternate biennia. The program committees are structured to complement each other. In 2003, six themes will be emphasized: Operational Forecasting, Data Assimilation, Shelf-Ocean Interactions, Physical/Biological Coupling, Lagrangian Methods, and Turbulence Closure Schemes. A Program Committee drawn from private and state universities, and scientific agencies is broadly representative of the research world. There are 35 senior people that have agreed to attend as the leadership corps, giving presentations and/or organizing sessions. The broader impacts of the proposed conference include the seeding of new fundamental ideas and approaches across the multidisciplinary scientific landscape; the closing of the apparent gap between observational and theoretical science via operational data-assimilative modeling; the enabling of operational systems within agencies devoted to scientific resource management; and the co-mixing of young students and scholars in the field with their established senior counterparts, across institutional boundaries of university, governmental agency, and private sector.
