The Glossary of Meteorology has been a major reference tool in the atmospheric and related sciences since its publication in 1959. Given the growth of terminology over the past three decades, the Glossary is overdue for a major update. Under this award, the update will be accomplished by making extensive use of a large network of volunteer scientists who will serve as subject specialists for the writing and reviewing of definitions of terms for the Glossary. A small permanent staff, headed by a chief editor, will oversee and direct this enormous administrative effort as well as provide guidance and editorial support to ensure the technical consistency of the resulting updated volume. Plans include release of the Glossary in an electronic format as well as in print. Joining NSF in the support of this project are NOAA, DOE, DOD, and EPA.

《气象学词汇》自1959年出版以来一直是大气科学和相关科学的主要参考工具。 鉴于过去三十年来术语的增长，《词汇》早该进行重大更新。 根据这项奖励，将通过广泛利用志愿科学家的庞大网络来完成更新工作，这些志愿科学家将担任编写和审查词汇术语定义的专题专家。 一个由主编领导的小型常设工作人员将监督和指导这项巨大的行政工作，并提供指导和编辑支助，以确保最后增订的卷在技术上保持一致。 计划包括以电子格式和印刷形式发行《词汇》。 加入NSF支持该项目的有NOAA，DOE，DOD和EPA。
