US CLIVAR Project Office

该奖项将在未来五年内支持美国CLIVAR项目办公室（USCPO）。美国CLIVAR（气候变率和可预测性）是一项长期研究计划，旨在了解海洋在不同时间尺度上观测到的气候变率中的作用。*了解过去、现在和未来导致气候变率和变化的过程。*更好地量化气候变率和变化的观测、模拟、预测和预估中的不确定性。*改进气候模拟和预测的发展和评估。*与开发和使用气候信息的研究和业务团体合作。该奖项的资金包括USCPO的人员配备、美国科学家参加美国CLIVAR会议的旅费、与开放科学研讨会相关的费用，以及沟通美国CLIVAR发现和机会所需的外展和沟通工作。该提案的智力价值使开发新的社区驱动的科学计划，协调研究活动的实施，并为美国的研究项目提供帮助，使他们能够更有效地与研究社区接触，并实现共同的研究目标。美国CLIVAR通过其组织研究界追求具有社会相关性和科学兴趣的主题的工作，具有更广泛的影响。美国CLIVAR研究的动机是希望预测对人类产生重要影响的各种形式的气候变率和变化。此外，美国CLIVAR活动包括努力与利益相关者、决策者和长期业务预报员合作，以确保这些社区感兴趣的研究结果得到有效沟通。

This award supports the US CLIVAR Project Office (USCPO) for the next five years. US CLIVAR (ClImate VARiability and predictability) is a long-term research program which seeks to* Understand the role of the oceans in observed climate variability on different timescales. * Understand the processes that contribute to climate variability and change in the past, present, and future. * Better quantify uncertainty in the observations, simulations, predictions, and projections of climate variability and change. * Improve the development and evaluation of climate simulations and predictions. * Collaborate with research and operational communities that develop and use climate information. Funds from this award cover USCPO staffing, travel by US scientists to participate in US CLIVAR meetings, costs associated with open science workshops, and outreach and communication efforts necessary to communicate US CLIVAR findings and opportunities. The intellectual merit of this proposal enables development of new community-driven scientific plans, coordination of research activity implementation, and provides assistance to US research programs so they can more effectively engage with the research community and address shared research goals.US CLIVAR has broader impacts through its work in organizing the research community to pursue topics which are of societal relevance as well as scientific interest. US CLIVAR research is motivated by a desire to anticipate forms of climate variability and change that have important human consequences. In addition, US CLIVAR activities include efforts to work with stakeholders, decision makers, and long-range operational forecasters to ensure that research results of interest to these communities are effectively communicated.
