Intellectual meritThis is a multi-institutional research project to study the regional atmosphere-ocean interactions, and the global ramifications, that result from a more accurate treatment of the eastern boundary coastal upwelling regions of California, Peru-Chile and Benguela, their ecosystems and biogeochemistry in a fully coupled global multi-scale climate model. The novel computational development provides the ability to selectively increase the resolution of the ocean component in desired regions while keeping the two-way coupling to the atmosphere. This project will address the question of physical and biological mechanisms affecting the CO2 air-sea exchange and export in these regions and the climate variability in the present, and under future scenarios, for the selected regions from physical, ecosystem and biogeochemical perspectives. As a study of the role of continental shelves in the climate system, and by addressing known biases/deficiencies in current climate models, it will contribute to our understanding of the climate system and improve projections of climate change. By directly including a biogeochemical model, this study can begin to address climate change impacts on the ecosystems of three of the most productive oceanic regions, and the ecosystems interaction with climateBroader ImpactsThe proposed research has significant impacts to many communities on several levels. By studying regions that are commercially significant, this project will contribute to the knowledge that is needed for future ocean resource management. The inclusion of an ocean model (ROMS) that has been extensively used for ecosystem studies, brings the climate, biogeochemical and ecosystem communities closer together and will permit the study of the role of climate change on ecosystems including higher trophic levels all the way to human activity. The project also contributes significant technical developments to the climate modeling community. The results will lead to the availability of a regional ocean model fully embedded within a global climate model and linked to all its components, including a multi-resolution atmosphere, land surface and sea ice models. By working within the NCAR Community Climate System Model framework all the technical developments will become part of the model that is accessible to the scientific community and can benefit emerging interdisciplinary programs. This project includes the training of three post-doctoral scientists one at University of Maine and two at U.C. Santa Cruz. All the academic institutions involved have a significant track record in teaching of both undergraduate and graduate students and outreach activities. Outreach and teaching activities are also an important part of the mission at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) where regular summer colloquia (organized by the advanced studies program) educate graduate students on various aspects of the climate system and its modeling, and well-visited websites are maintained for both the scientific community and the public.

知识分子绩效这是一个多机构的研究项目，旨在研究区域氛围 - 海洋的互动以及全球后果，这是对加利福尼亚州东部边界沿海上升地区的更准确处理，秘鲁 - 奇利和班格拉，其生态系统和其生态系统和生物质量的全球全球多人climate climate climate climate模型。新型的计算开发提供了在所需区域中选择性增加海洋组件分辨率的能力，同时保持双向耦合到大气。该项目将解决这些地区影响二氧化碳空气和生物学机制的问题，以及目前和未来情况下的气候变异性，从物理，生态系统和生物地球化学的角度来看。作为对大陆货架在气候系统中的作用的研究，以及通过解决当前气候模型中已知的偏见/缺陷的研究，它将有助于我们对气候系统的理解并改善气候变化的预测。通过直接包括生物地球化学模型，这项研究可以开始解决气候变化对三个最有生产力的海洋地区生态系统的影响，并且生态系统与ClimateBroader的互动与ClimateBoader的影响对拟议的研究对许多层面的研究产生了重大影响。通过研究具有商业意义的地区，该项目将有助于未来海洋资源管理所需的知识。已广泛用于生态系统研究的海洋模型（ROMS），使气候，生物地球化学和生态系统群落更加紧密地结合在一起，并将允许研究气候变化对生态系统的作用，包括较高的营养水平，一直到人类活动。该项目还为气候建模社区做出了重大的技术发展。结果将导致完全嵌入全球气候模型中的区域海洋模型的可用性，并与其所有组件相关联，包括多分辨率的大气层，陆地表面和海冰模型。通过在NCAR社区气候系统模型框架中工作，所有技术发展都将成为科学界可以访问的模型的一部分，并可以使新兴的跨学科计划受益。该项目包括对缅因大学的三位博士后科学家的培训和U.C.的两名。圣克鲁斯。所有涉及的学术机构在本科生和研究生和外展活动的教学方面都有很大的记录。外展和教学活动也是国家大气研究中心（NCAR）任务的重要组成部分，在该中心，常规的夏季校长（由高级研究计划组织）对研究生进行气候系统及其建模方面的教育，并为科学社区和公众维护了良好的网站。
