Core Support for the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate

美国国家科学院/国家研究委员会（NAS/NRC）在1991-92财政年度将继续其大气科学与气候委员会（BASC）的活动。BASC及其组成委员会和小组将：继续就大气科学和气候方面的重要国家和国际问题向联邦政府提供科学领导和指导；以及大气科学中以学科为导向的活动与国际地圈-生物圈计划（IGBP）等跨学科计划之间的协调。2. 继续气候研究委员会（CRC）及其下属的热带海洋-全球大气（TOGA）和国际卫星云气候学项目（ISCCP）咨询小组的活动，就美国参与世界气候研究计划（WCRP）以及TOGA、ISCCP、WOCE向联邦机构提供指导。和其他WCRP活动以及相关的国家气候研究活动。3. 继续开展大气化学委员会的活动。4. 继续气象分析、预报和研究委员会（CMAPR）的活动。5. 继续日地研究委员会的活动。6. 保持快速有效地响应联邦机构和国会在大气科学和气候领域的评估、指导、建议和支持要求的能力，通过其常设委员会或根据需要建立特设小组；并为符合美国国家利益的项目提供支持，如第二次世界气候大会。作为协调中心(a)为其活动涉及大气科学和气候的其他国家研究理事会单位协调和提供科学专门知识，以及(b)与国际大气科学和气候活动联络。

The National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) will continue the activities of its Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) during FY 1991-92. BASC and its constituent committees and panels will: 1. Continue to provide scientific leadership and guidance to the federal government on important national and international issues in the atmospheric sciences and climate, and on the coordination between discipline-oriented activities within the atmospheric sciences and interdisciplinary programs such as the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP). 2. Continue the activities of the Climate Research Committee (CRC) and, under the CRC, the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) Advisory Panels in providing guidance to the federal agencies on U.S. participation in the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and on TOGA, ISCCP, WOCE, and other WCRP activities and on related national climate research activities. 3. Continue the activities of the Committee on Atmospheric Chemistry (CAC). 4. Continue the activities of the Committee on Meteorological Analysis, Prediction, and Research (CMAPR). 5. Continue the activities of the Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR). 6. Maintain a capability to respond rapidly and effectively to requests by federal agencies and Congress for evaluations, guidance, recommendations, and support in the areas of atmospheric science and climate, either through its standing committees or by creation of ad hoc panels as required, and provide support to projects of U.S. national interest such as the Second World Climate Conference. 7. Serve as a focal point for (a) coordination and provision of scientific expertise for other National Research Council units whose activities impinge on atmospheric science and climate, and (b) liaison with international atmospheric science and climate activities.
