CICS THEMES:

Theme 1: Earth System Modeling and Analysis: The development and improvement of Earth system models; that is, models that simulate and aid the understanding of the present climate and Earth system, and that can be used to predict changes in the state of the climate and Earth system. An Earth system model includes components representing the dynamics of the atmosphere, the oceans, the cryosphere, the land its hydrology, and the physical, chemical and biological systems within and affecting these components.

Theme 2: Data Assimilation: The development of capabilities to assimilate both physical and biogeochemical observations to produce an estimate of the current environmental state for use in Earth system modeling and the prediction of the future state of the climate.

Theme 3: Earth System Model Applications: The use of Earth system models to study the processes associated with long term climate change and variability, and to make predictions of the future state of the Earth system.
