Operation of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee

CEDAR是一项被国内和国际社会认可的分三个阶段的航空计划。由于该项目的基本概念涉及协作和社区范围内的资源利用以及多机构运动和科学分析活动，因此显然需要进行协调。雪松科学指导委员会（雪松- ssc）的基本作用是为整个美国航空界以及国际领域提供协调和信息传递。CEDAR目前处于该计划的第二阶段，在此期间将有广泛的资助科学运动活动以及涉及仪器和设施开发和升级的活动。指导委员会的成员由美国国家科学基金会大气科学理事会的航空和高层大气设施部门的项目主任与当前的SSC成员协商后选出。在接下来的两年里，委员会将定期召开会议，讨论各种问题，包括活动组织、仪器操作、年度雪松夏季研讨会的计划、在国内和国际领域推广雪松、设施操作和科学专题讨论会的规划。

CEDAR is a 3-phased aeronomy initiative that is recognized within both national and international communities. Since the fundamental concept of the program involves collaborative and community-wide use of resources as well as multi-institution campaigns and science analysis activities, there is a clear need for coordination. The basic role of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CEDAR-SSC) is to provide for coordination and information transfer throughout the U.S. aeronomy community as well as in the international realm. CEDAR is currently in Phase II of the program, durieng which time there will be extensive funded science campaign activities as well as activities involving instrument and facility development and upgrades. Members of the steering committee are selected by the NSF Program Directors for the Aeronomy and Upper Atmospheric Facilities sections of the Atmospheric Sciences Directorate in consultation with the current SSC members. During the next two years, the committee will meet regularly to discuss the various issues involving campaign organization, instrument operation, the program for the annual CEDAR summer workshop, promotion of CEDAR in the national and international sphere, facility operation, and science symposia planning.
