Operations of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee

该奖项支持大气区域耦合、能量学和动力学（CEDAR）科学指导委员会（CSSC）的活动。CSSC由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）任命的大气科学界代表组成，为科学界和NSF的航空和高层大气设施项目提供正式的沟通机制。CSSC帮助制定雪松项目的方向和议程，并协调该项目与其他国家和国际项目的活动。CSSC的名义活动是：(1)每年6月在科罗拉多州博尔德召开年度雪松研讨会，并于每年秋天在国家科学基金会召开会议；(2)每年出版三期雪松通讯。今后两年的具体任务包括实施和启动与NASA TIMED卫星计划的合作研究，并在2001年6月举行连续的CEDAR-STP专题讨论会。该提案要求在未来两年内提供资金支持中国社委的活动。

This award supports the activities of the Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of the Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) Science Steering Committee (CSSC). The CSSC is composed of representatives from the atmospheric sciences community appointed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and provides a formal mechanism for communication between the community and the NSF's Aeronomy and Upper Atmospheric Facilities Programs. The CSSC helps set the direction and agenda for the CEDAR program and coordinates the program's activities with other national and international programs. The nominal activities of the CSSC are: (1) to convene the annual CEDAR workshop in Boulder, Colorado each June and to meet at NSF each fall; and (2) to publish the CEDAR newsletter three times per year. Specific tasks over the next two years include the implementation and initiation of collaborative studies with the NASA TIMED Satellite Program and conducting a contiguous CEDAR-STP symposium in June 2001. This proposal requests funds to support the CSSC's activities over the next two years.
