International Travel Support for The Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics 13th Quadrennial Solar-Terrestrial Physics Symposium; October 12-17, 2014

日地物理科学委员会第十三届四年一度的日地物理研讨会将于2014年10月12日至17日在山西西安举行，中国是一次重要的国际会议，将吸引来自世界各地从事日地研究工作的关键科学家和学生。南太地科学委员会赞助了许多多年的日地方案，最近的是2005年至2013年期间的日地系统气候和天气(CAWSES)I和II方案。新的SCOSTEP计划是太阳及其对地球影响的可变性(VarSITI)计划，将在未来5年内扩展。STP13研讨会将重点介绍在以前的CAWSES II计划期间取得的科学成果和VarSITI的第一个新成果。VarSITI有四个科学要素来解决当前感兴趣的关键日地问题，包括目前太阳活动较低的问题。这些涉及太阳演化和极端事件、地球影响太阳瞬变、耦合的磁层内环境，以及中层大气/热层/电离层在气候中的作用。该奖项资助最多7名杰出的美国科学家参加会议的旅费和会议费用。讨论的一个主要焦点将是数据分析、建模和理论，以改进对太阳变异性如何影响地球的理解。将得到赞助的美国科学家对于组织会议的关键方面以及将在会上讨论的结果至关重要。来自多个国家的学生将参加会议，并从受赞助的美国科学家的参与中受益。这些科学家还将参加媒体和公众宣传活动。报告将在STP 13专题讨论会上发表，许多期刊出版物将是与会者互动的结果。受赞助的美国科学家将帮助推广此类出版物，他们可能是论文的合著者，甚至可能是会议记录的编辑。

The Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) 13th Quadrennial Solar-Terrestrial Physics Symposium (STP 13), to be held October 12 through 17, 2014, in XiAn, Shanxi, China is an important international meeting that will attract key scientists and students from around the world working in solar-terrestrial studies. SCOSTEP has sponsored many multi-year solar-terrestrial programs, the most recent being the Climate and Weather of the Sun Earth System (CAWSES) I and II programs extending from 2005 thru 2013. The new SCOSTEP program is the Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact (VarSITI) program, extending over the next 5 years. The STP13 Symposium will highlight the scientific results obtained during the previous CAWSES II program and the first new results from VarSITI. VarSITI has four scientific elements that address key solar terrestrial problems of current interest including the current low solar activity. These involve solar evolution and extreme events, Earth affecting solar transients, the coupled inner-magnetospheric environment, and the middle atmosphere/thermosphere/ionosphere role in climate.This award supports the travel and meeting expenses for up to seven distinguished U.S. scientists to attend the meeting. A major focus of the discussions will be data analysis, modeling, and theory to improve to improve understanding of how solar variability affects Earth. The U.S. scientists that will be sponsored are essential for organizing key aspects of the meeting and the results that will be discussed there. Students from many countries will attend the meeting and benefit from the participation of the sponsored U.S. scientists. These scientists will also be available to participate in media and public outreach activities. The presentations will be published in the STP 13 symposium proceedings, and many journal publications will result from the interactions of the attendees. The sponsored U.S. scientists will help promote such publications and may be coauthors of papers and even editors of the proceedings.
