Description
- Abstract
- The SINAPSI project aims to study the climate system at global and regional scales in order to improve our capability to understand and predict the climate variability at seasonal, interannual and decadal time scales for the atmosphere, ocean and marine ecosystems. The proposed research is based upon both existing observational data sets and modeling work and the collection of new observations and development of new models with two general goals: - to increase our capability to predict climate fluctuations in the atmosphere, ocean and marine ecosystems at the relevant time scales; - to define key climatic biogeochemical and physical parameters and key marine areas for monitoring the Mediterranean basin fluctuations in terms of the ecosystem response at the seasonal, interannual and decadal time scales. The SINAPSI Progetto Strategico connects with and complements some of the European Union activities in the MAST and ENVIRONMENT and CLIMATE programs (MTP-I, MATER, DICE, Seasonal Predictions, EuroCLIVAR, etc.) and it is in line with the general scope of CLIVAR, GOALS and IGBP (especially PAGES and GLOBEC).
