International Coordination Office for the Scientific Committee On Solar-TErrestrial Physics - Climate And Weather of the Sun-Earth System (SCOSTEP-CAWSES) Program

这个项目建立了一个办公室，目的是协调国际和美国科学家的科学努力，以便建立一个全面的太阳-地球相互作用计划。这项工作认识到，多国家、多技术的研究对于实现对整个日地域的短期（空间天气）和长期（空间气候）变化的新认识至关重要。有组织的数据收集和分析的具体主题包括太阳对气候的影响、空间天气物理和业务应用、大气耦合过程和空间气候学。这些主题中的具体任务是在全球范围内规划和执行数据采集活动，在全球范围内和从各种各样的仪器中同化数据库，以及使用同化数据的端到端（“太阳表面”）建模能力的协调。除了思想、技术和人力资本交流所体现的国际合作的更广泛影响外，研究还侧重于追踪全球气候变化和臭氧分布的有用信息。

This project establishes an office for the expressed purpose of coordinating the scientific efforts of international and U.S. scientists, so that a comprehensive Sun- Earth interaction program is established. The effort recognizes that multi-national, multi-technique studies are essential for achieving a new understanding of short-term (Space Weather) and long term (Space Climate) variability throughout the solar-terrestrial domain. Specific themes for organized data collection and analysis include the solar influence on climate, Space Weather physics and operational applications, atmospheric coupling processes, and space climatology. Specific tasks within these themes are the planning and execution of data taking campaigns on a global scale, assimilation of data bases on a global scale and from a wide variety of instrumentation, and the coordination of end-to-end ("sun-surface") modeling capabilities using the assimilated data. Beyond the broader impacts of international cooperation manifested by idea, technology, and human capital exchange, the research focuses information useful for tracking global climate change and ozone distribution.
