Collaborative Research: P2C2--Toward Improved Projections of the Climate Response to Anthropogenic Forcing: Combining Proxy and Instrumental Observations with an Earth System Model

提供了资金，将古气候和仪器观测与新的中等复杂性地球系统模型结合起来，以改善对关键气候参数的约束，包括那些支配对强迫的动态和可能突然反应的参数。具体地说，研究小组将利用现有的EMIC(“LOVECLIM”)重点研究与厄尔尼诺/南方涛动(ENSO)和大西洋子午线翻转环流(AMOC)相关的动力机制。更广泛的影响包括支持博士后学者和研究生，促进对气候突变的理解。该奖项由2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)资助。

Funding is provided to combine paleoclimate and instrumental observations with a new Earth system Model of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC) to improve constraints on key climate parameters including those governing dynamical and potentially abrupt responses to forcing. Specifically, the research team will focus on dynamical mechanisms associated with the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) using an existing EMIC ("LOVECLIM"). The broader impacts involve supporting postdoctoral scholars and graduate students and contributing to the understanding of abrupt climate change.This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
