CICS Review

Princeton University and the Environmental Science Services Administration, of which the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory is part, have many areas of common interest. In some areas, the degree of mutual interest is so great that considerable advantage is gained from their pursuit on a collaborative basis.

The Memorandum of Understanding between Princeton University and the Environmental Science Services Administration, under which CICS was established, requires that CICS undergo a periodic review of its scientific program. The NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB) establishes the criteria for conducting program evaluations. The CICS review will be carried out in January 2005.

As a part of the process, overviews will be presented of the research carried out under each of the various CICS themes. Reviewers were asked to give a brief history of the theme, descriptions of the major research activities that are underway, and future directions of research. The research under these themes involves close working relationships of AOS scientists with those from NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
