SOPRANists<br>
<br>
SOPRAN is integrated into the ESF COST action <st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">735</st1:Rufnummer>
"Tools for Assessing Global Air Sea Fluxes of Climate and Air Pollution
Relevant Gases ". We will have 2 representatives on the Management
Committee of this action. I am one of them. Julie La Roche was initially
suggested as the other national representive by the original proposers (at the
SOLAS-International Office), but we feel that the 2nd rep should be someone
from outside of Kiel.<br>
<br>
Are there volunteers to participate? One of the major uses of this committee
could be to establish common data products across SOLAS activities within
Europe. So my suggestion would be that Michael Diepenbroek from WDC-Mare would
be a good person to have attend the meetings. (Michael does not yet know about
this suggestion!)<br>
<br>
However I (and, I am sure, Michael) am open to alternative suggestions.
Important is that the selected person actually attend the meetings! The first
meeting is scheduled for <st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">26-27</st1:Rufnummer> October
in Brussels.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you are interested in participating in this important
committee.<br>
Invitation letter and abstract are included in this message. Proposal is
attached.<br>
<br>
best regards<br>
Doug<br>

<br>
</i><i><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial;font-style:italic'>Ihre
Namen werden im Proposal für die neue COST Aktion <st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">735</st1:Rufnummer>
"Tools for Assessing Global Air Sea Fluxes of Climate and Air Pollution
Relevant Gases "als mögliche Teilnehmer genannt. Die Aktion wurde positiv
evaluiert und wird am <st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">27</st1:Rufnummer>./<st1:Rufnummer
w:st="on">28</st1:Rufnummer>. Juni <st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">06</st1:Rufnummer>
von den Vertretern der COST Mitgliedsländer (Committee of Senior Officials -
CSO) abschließend bewilligt.<br>
<br>
Das aktuelle Proposal finden Sie hier:<br>
<<<st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">735</st1:Rufnummer>-MoU.pdf>> <br>
Nach der Billigung der Aktion durch das CSO können die interessierten Länder
die Aktion unterzeichnen. Wenn mindestens 5 COST Mitgliedsländer ihre Absicht
geäußert haben, die Aktion zu zeichnen, organisiert das zentrale COST Office</span></font></i><i><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;font-style:
italic'> in Brüssel das erste Treffen des Management Committees der Aktion.<br>
<br>
Die nächsten Schritte in Deutschland:<br>
Das EUREKA/COST Büro informiert befasste Fachreferate im
Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung und andere fachlich zuständige
Ressorts über die Aktion. Sollte eine Rückmeldung von dieser Stelle erfolgen
(auch über ggf. von dort vorgeschlagene weitere deutsche Teilnehmer), werde ich
Sie darüber selbstverständlich unterrichten.<br>
<br>
Für jede COST Aktion wird ein sog. "Management Committee" gebildet,
das die Aktion leitet, Arbeitsgruppen behandeln die einzelnen Aufgabenpakete
innerhalb der Aktion. Jedes unterzeichnende Land kann max. zwei an der Aktion
beteiligte Experten in das Management Committee benennen.<br>
<br>
Die Benennung der deutschen Mitglieder im Management Committee und die
Zeichnung der Aktion erfolgt über das EUREKA/COST Büro. Eine offizielle
Benennung der Arbeitsgruppenmitglieder erfolgt nicht, sondern wird im
Management Committee besprochen.</span></font> </i><i><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;font-style:italic'>In diesem
Zusammenhang möchte ich Sie fragen, ob Sie sich an der COST Aktion beteiligen
werden und ggf. auch im Management Committee mitarbeiten würden.<br>
<br>
In COST werden keine nationalen Forschungsarbeiten finanziert, jedoch wird die
Netzwerkbildung unterstützt. Dazu gehört u.a. die Erstattung von Reisekosten zu
Treffen von Management Committee und Arbeitsgruppen. Jeweils<u> zwei Personen
pro Land und Arbeitsgruppe (und Management Committee) erhalten eine Rückerstattung
der Reisekosten</u> vom zentralen COST-Office in Brüssel.<br>
<br>
Detaillierte Informationen dazu finden Sie auf der COST-Homepage: </span></font><a

</i><i><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;
font-style:italic'>Einen kurzen Überblick über COST und über die Aufgaben des
Management Committees habe ich unten als attachment beigefügt.<br>
<br>
Da Voraussetzung für den Start der COST Aktion (vorbehaltlich Billigung durch
den CSO) die Benennung von Experten für das Management Committee aus mindestens
5 Länder ist, wäre ich Ihnen dankbar, wenn wir die Frage der Besetzung des
Management Committees noch vor der CSO Sitzung am <st1:Rufnummer w:st="on">27</st1:Rufnummer>./<st1:Rufnummer
w:st="on">28</st1:Rufnummer>.. Juni klären könnten.<br>
<br>
Über eine kurzfristige Rückmeldung wäre ich daher dankbar und stehe
selbstverständlich gern für Fragen zur Verfügung.</span></font> <br>

font-style:italic'>The exchange of mass at the air–sea interface is of
critical importance to the regulation of the<br>
Earth’s climate, and quantitative evaluation of these gas fluxes is an
objective that will<br>
provide key information for improvement of our understanding of the Earth
System. A<br>
collective assessment of these fluxes can be realised only by a concerted
effort of a<br>
multidisciplinary and international assembly of the scientific community. This
COST Action<br>
creates a framework for assessment of the global air–sea flux of
climatically relevant trace<br>
gases and pollutants, and this evaluation will lead to improvement in our
understanding of the<br>
processes responsible for the interfacial transfer of gases and toward
improvements in our<br>
ability to monitor and predict future climate.<br>

font-style:italic'>· </span></font></i><i><font face=Helvetica><span
style='font-family:Helvetica;font-style:italic'>The critical mechanism for this
framework is the formation of three working groups of<br>
some of the brightest minds in the field to develop interpretable air–sea
gas flux products,<br>
and this Action provides a unique system for development of the air–sea
transfer<br>
products. This Action creates added- value in that the networking of European
scientists<br>
and the integration of their data sets into a global framework of products adds
up to a<br>
significantly greater result than the sum of individual national efforts.
Further tools to be<br>
developed within this Action include the fostering and encouragement of young
European<br>
scientists, the development of short-term scientific missions meant to target
specific<br>
outstanding questions, and the creation of a series of symposia on topics of
critical<br>
importance to the field of air–sea interaction.<br>
