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持，以便美国能够参与国际科学联盟理事会（ICSU）日地物理科学委员会（SCOOSTEP）的计划。 SCOSTEP 的主要目标是促进跨国家和学科领域的合作，以增进对日地系统（包括空间天气和气候）的了解。 SCOSTEP 成立于 1978 年，是国际科学联盟理事会下属的一个科学委员会，长期负责推动日地物理学领域的国际跨学科项目。 SCOSTEP 促进跨项目合作、跨学科会议和跨国研究合作，其科学目标是促进对负责整个日地系统质量和能量传输的耦合机制的定量理解。 实际目标是提高太阳能可变成分和干扰对陆地环境影响的可预测性。 这些干扰的范围从对卫星和飞机通信系统的干扰到电网停电。 该项目将使 SCOSTEP 能够继续在推进日地物理学领域的发现方面发挥重要作用，特别是在国际合作以及整合该领域的研究和教育方面的努力。大气科学与气候委员会负责根据需要促进美国对 SCOSTEP 的投入，并且是支付所需年度会费的渠道。 SCOSTEP 会费对于支持 SCOSTEP 促进和协调日地物理领域国际项目的全方位活动至关重要。
