The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) will appoint an ad hoc committee, under the auspices of the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) of the National Research Council (NRC), to provide a scientific assessment of the current state of knowledge in atmospheric chemistry. The charge of this committee is to identify priorities and strategic steps forward for atmospheric chemistry research for the next decade, in the context of the current state of knowledge, ongoing research activities, and resource availability. Atmospheric chemistry research is critical for improving knowledge about the role of the atmosphere in the Earth system through a better understanding of atmospheric influences on the carbon, nitrogen, energy, and water cycles of Earth, and on air quality and climate change. The appointed ad hoc committee will be responsible for gathering and reviewing relevant literature, providing opportunities for input from a range of relevant stakeholders, and using its expert judgment to synthesize this information into a final consensus report. The committee and its report will be subject to all standard NAS/NRC appointment, operating, and review procedures, and to Section 15 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) that includes requirements regarding public access and conflicts of interest that are applicable to agreements under which the NAS, using a committee, provides advice or recommendations to a Federal agency.The broader impacts of this effort include an increased awareness by scientific and policy communities and the public of the importance of atmospheric chemistry in developing an improved understanding of the Earth?s climate, air quality, and biogeochemical cycles. The primary audiences for this project include the National Science Foundation, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office of Management and Budget, the United States Congress, and other U.S. federal agencies that support atmospheric chemistry research.

国家科学院将在国家研究理事会大气科学和气候委员会的主持下任命一个特设委员会，对大气化学知识的现状进行科学评估。该委员会的职责是根据目前的知识状况、正在进行的研究活动和资源的可得性，确定未来十年大气化学研究的优先事项和战略步骤。大气化学研究对于通过更好地了解大气对地球的碳、氮、能量和水循环以及对空气质量和气候变化的影响，提高对大气在地球系统中作用的认识至关重要。任命的特设委员会将负责收集和审查相关文献，提供机会让一系列相关利益攸关方提供投入，并利用其专家判断将这些信息综合成一份最终共识报告。该委员会及其报告将遵守所有标准NAS/NRC任命、运作和审查程序，以及《联邦咨询委员会法》（5 U.S.C.应用程序）这包括关于公众获取和利益冲突的要求，这些要求适用于NAS利用委员会向联邦机构提供建议或推荐的协议。这一努力的更广泛影响包括科学和政策团体以及公众对大气化学在提高对地球的认识方面的重要性的认识的提高。气候、空气质量和地球化学循环。该项目的主要受众包括国家科学基金会、科学和技术政策办公室、管理和预算办公室、美国国会以及支持大气化学研究的其他美国联邦机构。
