项目摘要

Major changes are occurring across the North Atlantic climate system: in oceanic and atmospheric temperatures and circulation, in sea ice thickness and extent, and in key atmospheric constituents such as ozone, methane and particles known as aerosols. Many observed changes are unprecedented in instrumental records. Changes in the North Atlantic directly affect the UK's climate, weather and air quality, with major economic impacts on agriculture, fisheries, water, energy, transport and health. The North Atlantic also has global importance, since changes here drive changes in climate, hazardous weather and air quality further afield, such as in North America, Africa, and Asia.The ACSIS extension is a 1 year continuation of an ongoing 5-year strategic research programme called ACSIS: the North Atlantic Climate System Integrated Study.ACSIS brings together and exploits a wide range of capabilities and expertise in the UK environmental science community. Its goal is to enhance the UK's capability to detect, attribute (i.e. explain the causes of) and predict changes in the North Atlantic Climate System. ACSIS is delivering new understanding of the North Atlantic climate system by integrating new and old observations of atmospheric physics and chemistry, of the ocean state and of Arctic ice, complemented by detailed data analysis and state-of-the-art computer simulations. Observations are obtained from diverse sources including NERC's observational sites in the North Atlantic, satellite remote sensing and the NCAS FAAM aeroplane. The computer modelling component is providing simulations of the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice with unprecedented spatial detail.The ACSIS extension will exploit advances made during the past 5 years to address specific new research questions which have arisen recently. It will investigate exciting evidence that changes in the climate of the North Atlantic/European region are much more predictable than was previously thought and will start to assess the impact of North Atlantic changes on the UK environment.

北大西洋气候系统正在发生重大变化：在海洋和大气温度和循环中，海冰厚度和范围以及关键的大气成分，例如臭氧，甲烷和称为气溶胶的颗粒。在工具记录中，许多观察到的变化是前所未有的。北大西洋的变化直接影响英国的气候，天气和空气质量，对农业，渔业，水，能源，运输和健康产生重大的经济影响。北大西洋也具有全球重要性，因为这里的变化推动了气候，危险的天气和空气质量的变化，例如在北美，非洲和亚洲。ACSIS扩展是一个正在进行的5年战略研究计划的1年，称为ACSIS：北大西洋气候系统综合研究。它的目标是增强英国检测，属性（即解释原因）的能力，并预测北大西洋气候系统的变化。 ACSIS通过整合了大气物理和化学，海洋国家和北极冰的新的和旧观察，对北大西洋气候系统提供了新的了解，并通过详细的数据分析和最先进的计算机模拟进行了补充。观察结果是从包括NERC在北大西洋的NERC观察地点，卫星遥感和NCAS FAAM飞机的各种来源获得的。计算机建模组件正在提供前所未有的空间细节的大气，海洋和海冰的模拟。ACSIS扩展将利用过去5年来取得的进步，以解决最近出现的特定新研究问题。它将调查令人兴奋的证据表明，北大西洋/欧洲地区气候的变化比以前认为的要预测得多，并将开始评估北大西洋变化对英国环境的影响。
