3. Background Rising concern on regional consequences of the Global Change together with internal logistics of global climate variation modeling stimulates research activity aimed to development a comprehensive regional models with proper feedbacks. One can consider it as a major scientific challenge of the community nowadays. Proper organization of relevant regional information to be used in modeling efforts as well as proper linking data, models and environmentally important model outputs is one of concerns for the community as well. However, there still is a gap between the community needs and currently available opportunities.

4. Objectives The main scientific objectives of the project are: • To design a concept and architecture for a scientific thematic WWW site for atmospheric sciences; • To prepare and to integrate into such a thematic scientific portal the following information resources: • Extensive databases containing results of atmospheric and related measurements performed by researchers from institutes in Siberia; • Simulation models and related analytical tools; • A multidisciplinary information system which will also include tutorial components oriented to students and the general public; • A detailed description and geographic information systems (GIS) of Lake Baikal and West Siberia Lowland;

7. Conception of WWW Scientific Site WWW scientific site is information-computational system which is implemented in a form of a module software on the base of Internet technologies: • Dialogue system (navigation and initialisation of applications) • Mathematical models (thematic applications) • Databases (data and metadata structuring, replications, …) • Thematic services (books, terminological dictionary, bibliography and Internet-links, thematic software archive, user guide and so on) -Visualisation (tabular and graphical, GIS, multiplication)

26. Conclusions and possible cooperative activities • The portal ATMOS is quite effective example of modern Information Technologies and Environmental Sciences integration. • It might work as a backbone for a planned Northern Eurasia IRS!

27. To understand dynamic of regional natural and climatic system and perform regional environment assessment on the base of environmental monitoring and a set of developed models an information-computational infrastructure is required. It will facilitate initiation of integrated regional study of contemporary anthropogenic, natural and climatic changes in the region under question Development of Web portal ATMOS and its localization in different Siberia regions might give an element for informational-computational infrastructure of integrated regional study of Siberia environment.
