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，以便美国可以参加太阳能物理学科学委员会国际科学工会理事会（ICSU）计划。 Scostep的主要目标是促进各国和纪律领域的合作，以提高人们对阳光 - 地球系统的了解，包括太空天气和气候。 Scostep于1978年在国际科学工会理事会下成立了科学委员会，并负责长期促进太阳能物理学的国际跨学科计划的长期责任。 ScoStep促进了跨项目合作，跨学科会议和跨国研究合作，其科学目标是促进对负责在整个太阳横向系统中转移质量和能量的耦合机制的定量理解。 实际目标是提高太阳能和干扰变量成分对陆地环境的影响的可预测性。 这些干扰包括对卫星和飞机通信系统的干扰到电动电网的停电。 该项目将使Scostep能够继续在推进太阳能物理学领域的发现方面发挥重要作用，尤其是在国际合作方面，以及将研究和教育整合到该领域的努力。大气科学和气候委员会促进了根据需要的美国投入的投入，并且是支付所需年会费的渠道。 Scostep会费对于支持在太阳事物物理学领域促进和协调国际计划方面的全部ScoStep活动至关重要。
