This award will provide funds for the support of a workshop on Antarctic regional-scale synoptic meteorological processes and their representation in numerical forecast models. Its objectives are to assess our current understanding of physical processes at high southern latitudes and to provide a means for formulating specific experiments to generate new information so that necessary parameterizations within numerical models can be tested and improved. The workshop will be held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research on February 4-6, 2003. Nearly every study that addresses issues of global change identifies the polar regions as among those most sensitive to climatic shifts. The Antarctic continent is a particular importance in global change scenarios because of its massive ice sheets and potential impacts on sea level change. In addition, numerous teleconnections between Antarctica and lower latitudes over time scales ranging from synoptic periods to those associated with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and beyond have been documented in recent years. However a physical understanding of how Antarctic processes are linked to those over the rest of the globe is still lacking on all time scales. A prerequisite for investigating and understanding the links between Antarctica and the rest of the globe is a thorough understanding of regional physical and synoptic processes and transports to and from the continent. Proper representation of Antarctic processes is basic to global change studies, especially since Antarctic transports are strongly tied to local topographic and mesoscale processes that are currently not resolved within global climate models (GCMs). These considerations have been brought together in the Ross Island Meteorological Experiment, a basic and applied research program, designed both to highlight and remedy current gaps in our knowledge of Antarctic synoptic processes.

该奖项将为支持南极区域尺度天气气象过程的研讨会提供资金，并在数值预测模型中代表。 它的目标是评估我们目前对高南纬度物理过程的理解，并提供一种用于制定特定实验以生成新信息的方法，以便可以测试和改进数值模型中的必要参数化。 该研讨会将于2003年2月4日至6日在国家大气研究中心举行。几乎每项解决全球变化问题的研究都将极地地区确定为对气候变化最敏感的地区。 南极大陆在全球变化方案中特别重要，因为它具有巨大的冰盖和对海平面变化的潜在影响。 此外，近年来已经记录了南极和较低的纬度之间的远程连接，从天气周期到与El Nino-Southern振荡（ENSO）及其他几年相关的时间尺度。 然而，对南极过程与全球其他地区的过程如何相关的物理理解仍然缺乏所有时间尺度。 研究和理解南极洲与全球其他地方之间的联系的先决条件是对区域物理和概要过程以及往返非洲大陆的运输的彻底理解。 南极过程的适当表示是全球变化研究的基础，尤其是因为南极运输与目前在全球气候模型（GCMS）中尚未解决的地方地形和中尺度过程密切相关。 这些考虑因素已在罗斯岛气象实验（Ross Island Meterodical实验）中汇总在一起，这是一项基本和应用的研究计划，旨在突出和补救当前的差距，了解我们对南极概要过程的知识。
