Sea Ice Mass Budget of the Arctic (SIMBA) Workshop

提供资金组织一个跨学科的研讨会，将重点放在北极海冰的质量平衡的北极气候，生物学和社会科学的相关性。 这些小组的综合意见将用于为今后的研究目标提出建议，以增进我们对北极海冰总量预算的了解，并支持今后开展跨学科海冰研究，包括在2007/08国际极地年期间开展这类研究。 本次研讨会的直接目的是：（1）为综合海冰场和模拟计划提供建议;（2）为大规模泛北极综合海冰观测系统提供建议。会议将就未来项目的开发和实施提出建议，寻求在模拟、现场和观测活动方面的跨学科合作。青年科学家的参与将使青年科学家了解规划进程和更广泛的社区，并将鼓励形成跨代联系。

Funds are provided to organize an interdisciplinary workshop that will focus on the relevance of the mass balance of arctic sea ice to arctic climate, biology, and social science. Synthesis of ideas among these groups will be used to develop recommendations for future research goals related to improving our understanding of the arctic sea ice mass budget and supporting the future implementation of interdisciplinary sea ice research, including during the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007/08. The direct aim of the workshop is to provide:(1) recommendations for an integrative sea ice field and modeling program, and(2) recommendations for a large scale, Pan-Arctic integrated sea ice observing system.The meeting will formulate recommendations regarding future project development and implementation, seeking collaboration across disciplines in modeling, field, and observational campaigns. The participation of junior scientists will introduce young scientists to the planning process and wider community, and will encourage the formation of cross-generational links.
