This project will provide five years of support so that the United States can participate in the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) program of the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP). SCOSTEP's main goals are to facilitate collaboration across nations and discipline areas in order to advance understanding of the Sun-Earth system, which includes space weather and climate. SCOSTEP was formed as a Scientific Committee under the International Council of Scientific Unions in 1978 and is charged with the long-term responsibility to promote international interdisciplinary programs in solar-terrestrial physics. SCOSTEP facilitates cross-project cooperation, cross-disciplinary conferences, and multi-national research collaboration with the scientific goal of advancing quantitative understanding of coupling mechanisms responsible for the transfer of mass and energy throughout the solar-terrestrial system. The practical goal is to improve predictability of the effects of the variable components of solar energy and disturbance on the terrestrial environment. These disturbances range from interference with satellite and aircraft communications systems, to blackouts of electric power grids. The project will allow SCOSTEP to continue to play an important role in advancing discovery in the field of solar-terrestrial physics, especially regarding international collaboration, as well as its efforts to integrate research and education in the field. The Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate serves to facilitate U.S. input to SCOSTEP as needed and is the conduit for payment of required annual dues. SCOSTEP dues are critical to support the full range of SCOSTEP activities in promoting and coordinating international programs in the field of solar-terrestrial physics.

该项目将提供五年的支助，使美国能够参加日地物理学科学委员会的国际科学联合会理事会方案。 日地物理学科学委员会的主要目标是促进跨国家和跨学科领域的合作，以增进对日地系统的了解，其中包括空间天气和气候。 日地物理学科学委员会于1978年成立，是国际科学联合会理事会的一个科学委员会，长期负责促进日地物理学方面的国际跨学科方案。 日地物理学科学委员会促进跨项目合作、跨学科会议和多国研究合作，其科学目标是促进对负责整个日地系统质量和能量转移的耦合机制的定量理解。 实际目标是提高太阳能和扰动的可变组成部分对陆地环境影响的可预测性。 这些干扰从干扰卫星和飞机通信系统到停电电网。 该项目将使日地物理学科学委员会能够继续在推动日地物理学领域的发现方面发挥重要作用，特别是在国际合作方面，以及在该领域整合研究和教育的努力方面。大气科学和气候委员会的作用是根据需要促进美国向日地物理学科学委员会提供投入，并作为支付所需年度会费的渠道。 日地物理学科学委员会的会费对于支持日地物理学委员会在促进和协调日地物理学领域的国际方案方面的各种活动至关重要。
