Isotopes can be used as chemical tracers that allow insights into complex climate processes. They are excellent diagnostic tools in climate system models. A wide variety of isotope data is now available for this use. Presently, the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) does not include isotopes. The PIs will convene a two-phased workshop on isotopes for the early winter of 2004 in Boulder, Colorado. The first phase of the workshop will explore the most interesting and important state-of-the-art climate system science using isotopes. The second phase of the workshop would include a more limited number of participants who use the CCSM and focus on developing a plan for the implementation of isotopes within the CCSM. Results will be disseminated via the web and the CCSM annual meeting in summer of 2004. The potential scientific benefits include improved understanding of complex processes in the atmospheric water cycle, paleoclimate, biogeochemistry and chemistry, on many timescales.Broader Impacts:The workshop will result in products important for a widely used community climate model and improve the research and applications properties of the model.

同位素可以用作化学示踪剂，可以洞悉复杂的气候过程。它们是气候系统模型中出色的诊断工具。现在可以使用多种同位素数据。目前，社区气候系统模型（CCSM）不包括同位素。 PI将在2004年冬季在科罗拉多州博尔德举行的同位素上的两步研讨会。研讨会的第一阶段将使用同位素探索最有趣，最重要的气候系统科学。研讨会的第二阶段将包括使用CCSM的参与者数量更高，并专注于制定CCSM内同位素的计划。结果将通过Web和2004年夏季的CCSM年度会议进行分散。潜在的科学益处包括对大气水周期，古气候，生物地球化学和化学的复杂过程的了解得以提高，对许多时间表上的影响：工作室对广泛使用的社区气候模型和改善研究和改善模型的广泛使用的产品将导致其重要性。
