NGEE Arctic

The goal of NGEE–Arctic is to reduce uncertainty in projections of future climate by developing and validating a model representation of permafrost ecosystems and incorporating that representation into Earth system models. The new modeling capabilities will improve our confidence in model projections and will enable scientist to better respond to questions about processes and interactions now and in the future. It also will allow them to better communicate important results concerning climate change to decision makers and the general public. And let's not forget about summer in the Antarctic, which happens during our winter months.

NGEE-Arctic项目旨在通过构建和验证冻土生态系统模型表征，并将其融入地球系统模型中，以降低对未来气候预测的不确定性。新的建模能力将提升我们对模型预测的信心，并使科学家能够更有效地应对当前及未来关于过程与交互的疑问。此外，该研究还将有助于科学家向决策者和公众传达有关气候变化的重要成果。不容忽视的还有南极的夏季，它发生在我们的冬季月份。
