Travel Support for the Chapman Conference on Water Vapor in the Climate System; Potomac, MD; October 12-15, 1999

该奖项为研究生和博士后研究员参加主题会议提供部分旅行支持。 会议的目的是将对水蒸气有相关兴趣但可能来自大气科学界不同部门的研究人员聚集在一起。 会议将重点关注气候系统，包括建模和观测科学家。 将组织会议，以促进跨“学科”的互动。 主要议题包括跨对流层顶的水蒸气通量;涉及水蒸气的辐射、动力和化学过程;适用于气候监测的测量技术;以及对当前水蒸气知识的审查。 会议的安排将为年轻科学家提供介绍其工作和建立联系的机会。对该奖项的支持是根据NSF的全球变化方案的WEAVE倡议提供的。

This award provides partial travel support for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to participate in the subject conference. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers with related interests in water vapor but who may come from different segments of the atmospheric sciences community. The conference will focus on the climate system, and include modeling and observational scientists. Sessions will be organized to promote interactions across "disciplinary" lines. Major topics include cross-tropopause fluxes of water vapor; the radiative, dynamical and chemical processes involving water vapor; measurement techniques appropriate for climate monitoring; and a review of current knowledge about water vapor. The meeting will be structured to provide opportunities for younger scientists to present their work and to network. Support for this award is being provided under NSF's WEAVE Initiative of the Global Change Program.
