Operation of CEDAR Science Steering Committee

美国国家科学基金会(NSF)大气学社区发起了一项名为“雪松”的科学计划，旨在了解大气区域的耦合、能量学和动力学。为了实施这一计划，将需要在理论建模方面进行新的努力，并使用光学和雷达技术来提高新的实验能力。为了协调社区中个别研究人员的努力并向NSF提供科学建议，成立了一个科学指导委员会(Cedar-SSC)，成员由NSF项目官员挑选。该委员会自1984年以来一直在运作，一直积极规划会议和讲习班、编写有关雪松的报告和文章、确定科学运动战略等。该奖项旨在继续该委员会的活动。

The National Science Foundation (NSF) aeronomy community has initiated a science program, "CEDAR", directed towards understanding of the Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions. To implement this program, new thrusts in theoretical modelling and new upgraded experimental capabilities using optical and radar techniques will be needed. To coordinate the effort among individual researchers in the community and to provide scientific advice to NSF, a science steering committee (CEDAR-SSC) was formed with membership selected by the NSF program officers. This committee has been in operation since 1984 and has been active in the planning of meetings and workshops, preparation of reports and articles about CEDAR, definition of scientific campaign strategies, etc. This award is to continue the activities of this committee.
