On June 22, the United Nations International Forum on "Ocean Decade" and Marine Environmental Governance was held in Qingdao West Coast New District. The theme of this forum is "Building a leading modern ocean city and jointly building a 'predictable ocean' and a 'safe ocean' under the framework of the United Nations." Experts in the global maritime field gathered together to gather consensus, collect good ideas, and seek solutions. In the future, we will provide suggestions for promoting marine environmental governance and sustainable development of the global ocean. The "New Generation Earth System Model FIO-ESM2.0" was released on the
forum. This model is based on the world's first climate model FIO-ESM1.0 that includes wave processes established by the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Established based on the unique physical process, the simulation and hindcast capabilities of El Niño -Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have been greatly improved.
According to reports, ENSO can cause atmospheric circulation anomalies such as the western Pacific subtropical high and monsoon systems, which will then affect my country's temperature, precipitation, drought and flood distribution, and also affect the typhoon frequency and intensity. Accurate prediction of ENSO changes on monthly, seasonal, and interannual scales not only has important guiding significance for climate change response, but is also a hot issue and academic commanding heights in the international science and technology field. Currently, domestic and foreign climate models have common problems such as tropical bias, which directly affects the prediction accuracy of ENSO. The latest international evaluation results of
show that this climate model’s comprehensive simulation capabilities for ENSO are at the forefront of the world. At present, the short-term climate prediction system has begun quasi-operational operation, and the prediction results are adopted by the China Multi-Model Ensemble Prediction System and released on the China Meteorological Administration Climate Research Open Laboratory website.
FIO-ESM2.0 data has been shared through the Sixth International Coupled Model Comparison Program data website and can be downloaded and used by global model assessment and climate change researchers, providing important information for the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Scientific basis.
In January 2021, the "United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Implementation Plan" (referred to as the "Ocean Decade") was reviewed and approved by the United Nations General Assembly and officially launched. The "Ocean Decade" is an ocean initiative initiated by the United Nations. With the mission of "promoting transformative ocean science solutions, promoting sustainable development, and connecting humans and the ocean", it proposes seven expected goals, including clean An ocean, a healthy and resilient ocean, a bountiful ocean, a predictable ocean, a safe ocean, an accessible ocean and an inspiring and engaging ocean.
As one of the sections of the 2022 East Asia Marine Cooperation Platform Qingdao Forum, this forum takes the "predictable ocean" and "safe ocean" proposed by the United Nations "Ocean Decade" as the entry point. The participating experts discussed how to improve ocean observation capabilities An in-depth discussion was conducted on the continuous improvement of ocean and climate prediction capabilities, including discussions on data and information sharing related to sea level, marine environment, marine ecology and climate, and improvement of forecasting systems.
Qiao Fangli, academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences , deputy director of the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and co-chairman of the Western Pacific Subcommittee of the International Maritime Commission, analyzed the major scientific challenges facing ocean and climate prediction for a long time. He has Research results show that it has been found to improve the ocean and scientific path for climate prediction accuracy. The approved United Nations "Ocean Decade" ocean and climate seamless prediction system will unite 25 countries to lead ocean and climate predictions and provide more accurate prediction products for the world's people. Provide more refined service guarantees and provide Chinese wisdom and solutions for global ocean governance.
At the main forum of the 2022 East Asia Marine Cooperation Platform Qingdao Forum held that morning, the "Ocean Decade" Ocean and Climate Collaboration Center, led by the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources, was approved. This is the first time the United Nations has launched a global cooperation center. One of the six "Ocean Decade" collaboration centers established in batches and the only approved collaboration center in my country, it will be located in the Qingdao West Coast New District.As the only participating local government in China, Qingdao West Coast New District will use the center as a link to coordinate scientific and technological innovation and cooperation in global ocean and climate fields under the framework of the "Ocean Decade" and make leading scientific and technological contributions to global ocean and climate governance. .
