The Geo-Sciences Panel is a synonym for the Special Programme on
Global Transport Mechanisms in the Geo-Sciences. This Programme is
one of the special programs established by the NATO Science
Committee to promote the study of a specific topic using the usual
NATO structures, namely, Advanced Research Workshops, Advanced
Study Institutes, Conferences, Collaborative Research Grants,
Research-Studies and Lecture Visits. The aim of the Programme is to
stimulate and facilitate international col laboration among
scientists of the member countries in selected areas of global
transport mechanisms in the Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere,
lithosphere and asthenosphere, and the interactions between these
global transport processes. Created in 1982, the Geo-Sciences Panel
followed the Air Sea Interactions Panel which was very successful
in reviewing mechanisms at the air-sea-ice interface. Initially the
Geo-Sciences Panel recognized the importance of magma chambers, ore
deposits, geochemical cycles, seismic activity and hydrological
studies. However, the Panel was rap idly convinced that the climate
system is one of the most important sys tems in which to promote
research on global transport mechanisms. Consequently, the Panel
welcomed the organization of a course on Physically Based Modelling
and Simulation of Climate and Climatic Change. This course was
launched in Belgium in 1984 during both the Liege colloquium on
Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere tlodels and the Louvain-Ia Neuve General
Assembly of the European Geophysical Society. Rapidly scientists
recognized that this course was timely and would be well received
by the climate community, especially by junior researchers in this
multi- and inter-disciplinary field.
Preface This book is the culmination of a workshop jointly
organized by NATO and CEC on Climate-Ocean Interaction which was
held at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University during 26-30
September 1988. The objective of the ARW was to assess the current
status of research on climate-ocean interaction, with a major focus
on the development of coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice models and their
application in the study of past, present and possible future
climates. This book contains 16 chapters divided into four parts:
Introduction; Observations of the Climate of the Ocean; Modelling
the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Sea Ice Components of the Climatic
System; and Simulating the Variability of Climate on Short, Medium
and Long Time Scales. A fifth part contains the reports of the five
Working Groups on: Climate Observations, Modelling, ENSO Modelling
and Prediction, Climate-Ocean Interaction on TIme Scales of Decades
to Centuries, and Impact of Paleoclimatic Proxy Data on Climate
Modelling. Preface ix Acknowledgements I thank Howard Cattle and
Neil Wells for their guidance and assistance as members of the
Workshop Organizing Committee. I particularly thank Michael Davey
for all his efforts as Local Organizer to make the ARW a success. I
also thank the staff of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University, for
their help with the arrangements for the ARW.
