International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Core Project Office

这笔赠款支持国际全球大气化学(IGAC)项目核心项目办公室的继续，该项目是国际地圈-生物圈计划(IGBP)的一个组成部分。与过去几年一样，IGAC CPO由NSF、NASA、NOAA和美国能源部联合资助。政府间生物化学咨询委员会寻求为规划和实施大气-生物圈化学方面的基本科学活动提供一个国际框架，特别是当这些活动需要超出单个国家能力范围的人力、技术或金钱资源时。IGAC还寻求作为一种工具，协调美国的各种国家计划与其他地方的相关国家和地区计划，以便将注意力和资源集中在区域和全球范围内大气-生物圈化学的关键问题上。IGAC核心项目办公室(CPO)的职能包括：(1)为项目领导提供行政支持，(2)项目的科学发展，(3)向更广泛的科学界和其他客户群体传播有关项目及其科学成果的信息。

This grant supports the continuation of the Core Project Office of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Project, an element of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). As in past years, the IGAC CPO is funded jointly by NSF, NASA, NOAA, and DOE. IGAC seeks to provide an international framework for planning and implementing essential scientific activities in atmospheric-biospheric chemistry, particularly when they require human, technological, or monetary resources beyond the capacity of single nations. IGAC also seeks to serve as a vehicle for coordination of various U.S. national programs with relevant national and regional programs elsewhere to focus attention and resources on key problems in atmospheric-biospheric chemistry at regional and global scales. The functions of the IGAC Core Project Office (CPO) include: (1) administrative support for the project leadership, (2) scientific development of the project, (3) communicating information about the project and its scientific results to the broader scientific and other client communities.
