Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period

Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period
CEOP is an effort to address some of the critical aspects of the climate system involving land areas in
particular over a 2 year period beginning in mid-2001. It will focus on two overall issues:
water and energy fluxes and reservoirs over land areas,
monsoonal circulations
CEOP will involve the simultaneous or near-simultaneous collection of observations from several regions around the world.
In particular, it will include:
several reference sites in the continental-scale experimental regions of GEWEX
as well as other regions
extensive field measurements for addressing monsoonal systems
validation studies for new satellite systems
CEOP will lead to:
better understanding of water and energy fluxes and reservoirs over specific land areas
progress at better appreciating the role of land areas in the whole climate system
a testing of our capabilities to transfer techniques and models between different GEWEX continental-scale
experimental (and other) regions and to predict water-related parameters
enhanced understanding of the land-atmosphere-ocean interactions

协调增强观测期（Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period，简称CEOP）旨在解决涉及陆地区域的一些关键气候系统方面的问题，特别是在2001年中期开始的为期两年的期间内。该计划将聚焦于两大核心议题：一是陆地区域的水分和能量通量及其储存情况，二是季风环流。CEOP将涉及全球多个地区的观测数据的同步或近同步收集。具体而言，它将包括：GEWEX大陆尺度实验区域中的多个参考站点以及其他区域，针对季风系统的广泛实地测量，以及新卫星系统的验证研究。CEOP将促进以下方面的进展：对特定陆地区域的水分和能量通量及其储存情况的更深入理解，对陆地区域在整个气候系统中作用的更全面认识，测试我们在不同GEWEX大陆尺度实验（及其他）区域之间转移技术和模型的能力，以及对水相关参数的预测能力，以及对陆地-大气-海洋相互作用的深化理解。此外，可参考http://www.ceop.net（已失效）获取更多信息。
