The Surface Ocean – Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) (http://www.solas-int.org/) is an international research initiative focused on understanding the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere that are critical elements of climate and global biogeochemical cycles. Following the release of the SOLAS Decadal Science Plan (2015-2025) (Brévière et al., 2016), the Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction Committee (OAIC) was formed as a subcommittee of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Scientific Steering Committee to coordinate US SOLAS efforts and activities, facilitate interactions among atmospheric and ocean scientists, and strengthen US contributions to international SOLAS. In October 2019, with support from OCB, the OAIC convened an open community workshop, Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions: Scoping directions for new research with the goal of fostering new collaborations and identifying knowledge gaps and high-priority science questions to formulate a US SOLAS Science Plan. Based on presentations and discussions at the workshop, the OAIC and workshop participants have developed this US SOLAS Science Plan. The first part of the workshop and this Science Plan were purposefully designed around the five themes of the SOLAS Decadal Science Plan (2015-2025) (Brévière et al., 2016) to provide a common set of research priorities and ensure a more cohesive US contribution to international SOLAS.

Abstract. Numerous studies have focused on the local and regional climate effects of irrigated agriculture and other land cover and land use change (LCLUC) phenomena, but there are few studies on the role of ocean-atmosphere interaction in modulating irrigation climate impacts. Here, we compare simulations of the equilibrium effect of contemporary irrigation geographic extent and intensity on climate with and without interactive sea surface temperatures. We find that ocean-atmosphere interaction does impact the magnitude of global-mean and spatially varying climate impacts, greatly increasing their global reach. The interaction amplifies irrigation-driven standing wave patterns in the tropics and midlatitudes in our simulations, approximately doubling the global mean amplitude of surface temperature changes due to irrigation. Subject to confirmation with other models, these findings imply that LCLUC is an important contributor to climate change even in remote areas such as the Southern Ocean. Attribution studies should include interactive oceans and need to consider LCLUC, including irrigation, as a truly global forcing that affects climate and the water cycle over ocean as well as land areas.

Abstract Education is recognized a human right for all. Though, Indigenous communities do not yet enjoy their full rights to education and are put at risk of losing their Indigenous culture and identity. A new research initiative, holding dialogues discussing the perceived outcomes of quality education in the eyes of several stakeholders, shows that access and retention in equitable and inclusive quality education as described in SDG 4 are highly valued. The research was jointly developed and carried out by researchers and Indigenous communities in 29 countries. Twenty-first century knowledge and skills are crucial for future Indigenous generations to create their livelihood and successfully engage in both Indigenous community life as well as mainstream society. Learning within formal school systems to understand their Indigenous heritage and keep the connection to their environment despite aspiring modern lifestyles, creates relevance which enhances both learning and retention. Beyond twenty-first century competencies, vital elements of education quality seen as relevant for Indigenous youth are aligned with education for sustainable development and applicable for all learners.

En la formación del clima intervienen una serie de procesosos muy complejos que interaccionan en el sistema "atmósfera-océano-continentes-criósfera". el problema de clima y sus cambios originados naturalmente y por factores antropogénicos exige el seguimiento de un amplio conjunto de parámetros que caractericen no sólo al clima sino los rasgos propios de la atmósfera, océano, superficie terrestre y cubierta de hielo.La determinación del conjunto de parámetros requerido debe obtenerse a partir del modelado numérico dirigido a la planeación del sistema global para monitoreo del clima. Las restricciones sobre los datos observacionales son muy variables y fuertemente dependientes del modelo del clima utilizado. en base a estas consideraciones se presenta una estimación de los parámetros requeridos que integran el conjunto, se incluye precisión y resolución espacio-temporal. Se analizan las posibilidades de medición por los sistemas actuales, los ya diseñados y lo que se desarrollarán en los años ochentas. Finalmente, se evalúan los errores que se cometen utilizando microondas en la determinación de la temperatura de la cubierta de hielo y de la superficie del mar.
