Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate Core Support

这是一笔用于支持美国国家科学院大气科学与气候委员会（BASC）继续开展核心活动的拨款。这项工作的目标包括：(i)为大气科学提供一个国家和国际论坛，重点是研究需要、政策问题、教育影响和问题以及提高对大气及其与人类社会和地球系统其他组成部分的相互作用的了解所需的资源；（ii）协调和监督BASC研究单位参与制定和发布学科评估，探讨《进入二十一世纪的大气科学》报告中所阐述的前沿，以及各机构就具体问题要求的其他研究；（iii）作为大气科学界向联邦机构和其他相关决策者提供信息和建议的持续资源，并作为与整个大气科学界的联系纽带。为此，BASC建议发起年度论坛，讨论联邦政府在大气科学和气候相关研究方面的计划和预算。由此产生的论坛将成为在这些重要领域改善整个联邦方案协调的主要机制。（iv）协调国家研究委员会（NRC）其他单位（最常与海洋研究委员会、极地研究委员会、地球科学与资源委员会、环境研究与毒理学委员会、空间研究委员会和全球变化研究委员会合作，但必要时也可与其他单位合作）、国际项目办公室以及其活动涉及大气科学且其行动可能影响大气科学政策的机构的大气科学专业知识；社会影响和教育问题。与全球变化研究委员会的关系尤其密切，BASC主席和气候研究委员会主席都是成员。（五）建立一个国家论坛，就社会日益直接关注的一些大气科学现象进行反应性对话，包括针对新出现的科学问题和联邦机构的需要进行具体研究和讲习班。这些活动很重要，因为它们为联邦大气和气候科学资助机构提供建议和审查。

This is a grant to support the continuation of the core activities of the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) of the National Academy of Sciences. The objectives of the effort include:(i) providing a national and international forum for the atmospheric sciences, focusing on research needs, policy issues, educational implications and issues and the resources required to improve understanding of the atmosphere and its interaction with human societies and other components of the Earth System;(ii) coordinating and overseeing the BASC study units involved in developing and publishing disciplinary assessments that probe the frontiers articulated in the Atmospheric Sciences Entering the Twenty-First Century report, and other studies requested by agencies on specific issues;(iii) serving as a continuing resource to inform and provide advice from the atmospheric sciences community to federal agencies and other relevant decision-makers, and to serve as a linkage to the entire cross-section of the atmospheric sciences community. To this end, BASC proposes to initiate annual forums to discuss the Federal plans and budgets for the atmospheric sciences and climate related research. The resulting forums will serve as major mechanisms for improving the coordination of the entire Federal program in these vital areas.(iv) coordinating atmospheric science expertise for other National Research Council (NRC) units (most frequently with Ocean Studies Board, Polar Research Board, Board on Earth Sciences and Resources, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, Space Studies Board, and the Committee on Global Change Research, but others as needed), international project offices, and bodies whose activities involve atmospheric sciences and whose actions may impact atmospheric science policy, societal impacts and educational issues. The relationship with the Committee on Global Change Research is particularly close with both the BASC chair and the chair of the Climate Research Committee serving as members.(v) creating a national forum for responsive dialogue on a number of atmospheric science phenomena of immediate and growing concern to society, including the conduct of specific studies and workshops in response to emerging science issues and Federal agency needs.These activities are important because they provide advice to and review of the Federal atmospheric and climate sciences funding agencies.
