Description

Renew the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System (Cimes) to Conduct Research in Support of Noaa's Mission and Strategic Goals in Areas Related to Earth System Science for Better Understanding and Prediction Across Time Scales from Days to Decades, and from Local to Global Scales, and Integrating Physical, Chemical, and Biological Components. Cimes Research Will Address the Following Three Themes: 1. Earth System Modeling: Developing and Improving Earth System Models (Esms), Numerical Models Which Simulate the Climate and Earth System, and Allow Prediction of the Future Evolution of This System. These Models Include the Dynamical, Physical, Chemical and Biological Components of the Atmosphere-Ocean-Land System and the Coupling Between Them. 2. Seamless Prediction Across Time and Space Scales: Applying the Esms to Predictions on Time-Scales from Days to Centuries and Over Spatial Scales from Those of Extreme Events to Global Scales, Making Use of the Same Flexible Code-Bas
