U.S. scientists and students will participate in a series of three international training workshops focused on numerical modeling of the southern ocean. The three-year program is designed to train faculty and graduate students in the development and implementation of numerical models for ocean circulation, biogeochemistry and food webs and linking these models with socio-economic models through Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) models. The first workshop will build upon the 2018 Austral Summer Institute (ASI) at Universidad de Concepcion, which has the theme, Numerical Modeling Tools to Understand Physical and Biological Processes in Mid and High Latitude Marine Ecosystems. Workshops in years 2 and 3 will focus on approaches and tools for numerical modeling of Antarctic systems and MSE models, respectively. International partners for the workshops include the Center of Excellence on the Dynamics of High Latitude Marine Ecosystems (IDEAL) at Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia, the Universidad de Concepcion, the Universidad de Magallanes in Punta Arenas, and Chinese faculty from Shanghai Jaio Tong University's Institute of Oceanography who collaborate with the IDEAL Center. These institutions will provide housing, conference facilities and computer resources necessary for the program.The materials developed for the workshops (lectures, model codes, model implementations) will be available for the development of special lectures in university courses and archived on a dedicated website. The long-term plan is that the workshops will provide a framework for development of formal courses in numerical circulation and ecosystem modeling that will be included as part of the main curriculum in marine science programs in the U.S., Chile, South America, China and other international programs. Each workshop will consist of overview lectures that are followed with hands-on training. The expectation is that participants will continue to use and develop the models for their research projects after the workshop.Intellectual Merit: The structure of the proposed workshops and the general plan for encouraging productive interactions between scientists and students is well developed. The workshops will focus on important scientific questions and development of related models will benefit greatly from the collaborative international environment.Broader Impacts: Catalyzing connections between Antarctic scientists and development of an international scientific community with strong numerical modeling skills and a focus on the southern ocean will be an important outcome. US leadership in this international community will allow US faculty and students to expand their scientific connections and potential access to international collaborators.

美国科学家和学生将参加一系列三个国际培训研讨会，重点关注南大洋的数值模拟。该项目为期三年，旨在培训教师和研究生开发和实施海洋环流、生物地球化学和食物网数值模型，并通过管理策略评估（MSE）模型将这些模型与社会经济模型联系起来。第一个研讨会将以康塞普西翁大学 2018 年澳大利亚夏季研究所 (ASI) 为基础，其主题是“了解中高纬度海洋生态系统物理和生物过程的数值建模工具”。第二年和第三年的研讨会将分别侧重于南极系统和 MSE 模型数值模拟的方法和工具。研讨会的国际合作伙伴包括瓦尔迪维亚智利南方大学高纬度海洋生态系统动态卓越中心（IDEAL）、康塞普西翁大学、蓬塔阿雷纳斯麦哲伦大学以及上海交通大学的中国教师。海洋学研究所与 IDEAL 中心合作。这些机构将提供该计划所需的住房、会议设施和计算机资源。为研讨会开发的材料（讲座、模型代码、模型实施）将可用于开发大学课程中的特别讲座，并存档在专门网站上。长期计划是，研讨会将为数值环流和生态系统建模方面的正式课程的开发提供一个框架，这些课程将作为美国、智利、南美、中国和其他国家海洋科学项目主要课程的一部分。国际项目。每个研讨会将包括概述讲座，随后进行实践培训。我们期望参与者在研讨会结束后继续使用和开发其研究项目的模型。智力价值：拟议研讨会的结构以及鼓励科学家和学生之间富有成效的互动的总体计划已经制定得很好。研讨会将重点讨论重要的科学问题，相关模型的开发将大大受益于国际协作环境。 更广泛的影响：促进南极科学家之间的联系以及具有强大数值建模技能并关注南大洋的国际科学界的发展将成为重要成果。美国在这个国际社会中的领导地位将使美国教师和学生能够扩大他们的科学联系以及与国际合作者的潜在接触。
