Review of the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Draft Science Goals and Objectives; Washington, DC; March 31 - April 1, 2014

该项目的目标是由国家研究理事会组织一次公共讲习班，让大气科学界和其他适当的方面参与进来，就草案提供反馈意见，请与会者就以下问题交流意见：目标和目的是否明确和适当？如果大气和地球空间科学司要实现其总体设想和使命，草案中是否有任何内容领域缺失？是否有适当的机制来协调和整合涉及国家科学基金会内多个学科和多个部门的问题？研讨会将于2014年3月31日至4月1日在华盛顿特区的国家科学院举行。它还将包括一个简短的，前瞻性的会议，与会者将讨论研究前沿。AGS可以考虑根据已经确定的目标和具体目标以及那些被认为缺失的目标和具体目标来开展工作。委员会将撰写一份信函报告，通过从自己的角度解决上述问题来审查AGS的目标和目的草案。

The goal of this project is for the National Research Council (NRC) to organize a public workshop to engage the atmospheric sciences community and others as appropriate to provide feedback on the draft by asking participants to share their views in the context of the following questions: Are the goals and objectives clear and appropriate? Are there any content areas missing from the draft that should be present if Division on Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) is to achieve its overall vision and mission? Are there adequate mechanisms for coordinating and integrating issues that involve multiple disciplines and multiple divisions within National Science Foundation? The workshop will take place on March 31-April 1, 2014 at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC. It will also include a brief, forward-looking session where participants will discuss research frontiers. AGS might consider pursuing in light of the goals and objectives that have been identified as well as those that have been acknowledged as missing. The committee will write a letter report reviewing the AGS draft goals and objectives by addressing the questions above from its own standpoint.
