EAGER: System for Integrated Modeling of the Atmosphere Workshop

国家大气研究中心（NCAR）开发和维护多个社区模型，用于模拟大气。 NCAR的大气社区模型的下一代愿景包括大气综合建模系统（SIMA）的战略发展。 大气研究大学合作计划（UCAR）的地球系统科学促进合作计划（UCAR/CPAESS）计划将来自天气，气候，大气化学和空间天气社区的模型开发人员和模型用户聚集在一起，最终目标是为SIMA创建一个5年计划。 CPAESS将使用在Ideas Labs经验丰富的专业主持人来创建一个环境，从而就社区模型的未来愿景进行新的对话。 该项目旨在确定参与天气、气候、空气质量和空间气象建模的大学研究界的需要和相关要求。 该项目的目标是创建一个建模框架，减少社区之间的重复工作，B.）允许气候、天气、地球空间和化学界合作和分享创新，c.）提供跨空间和时间尺度平滑过渡的建模能力，d.）使研究界能够探索新的科学，e.）减轻了实施新技术的负担，以及f.）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) develops and maintains multiple community models for modeling the atmosphere. The next generation vision for community models of the atmosphere at NCAR includes the strategic development of the System for Integrated Modeling of the Atmosphere (SIMA). The University Cooperation for Atmospheric Research’s (UCAR) Cooperative Program’s Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (UCAR/CPAESS) plans to bring together model developers and model users from the weather, climate, atmospheric chemistry, and space weather communities with an end goal of creating a 5 year plan for the SIMA. CPAESS will use professional facilitators experienced with Ideas Labs to create an environment that results in new dialog about the future vision for community models. This project aims to identify the needs and associated requirements of the university research communities involved in the modeling of weather, climate, air quality and space weather. The goals of the project are to create a modeling framework that a.) reduce duplication of efforts across communities, b.) allow climate, weather, geospace and chemistry communities to collaborate and share innovations, c.) provide modeling capability that transitions smoothly across space and time scales, d.) enables the exploration of new science for the research community, e.) eases the burden of implementing new technology, and f.) allows capitalization on next-generation HPC technology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
