The Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) provides a locus for National Research Council (NRC) activities on major atmosphere, weather, and climate-related science, engineering, and policy issues. BASC provides guidance to many federal agencies, offers a venue for advancing science and policy related to these topics, oversees development and oversight of ad hoc NRC studies on relevant subjects, and conducts outreach, education, and international engagement activities. The Board provides oversight to the NRC Committee to Advise the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and serves as the US National Committee to the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). It strives overall to help atmospheric science remain vibrant and have a broader impact on society.This award provides support for the core functions of the Board for a three-year period. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide additional funds toward BASC's core operations and activities. This base level support is essential for enabling BASC to quickly respond to emerging needs from the sponsor community, draw attention to new issues identified by the scientific community, and engage broadly in the national and international discourse related to atmospheric and climate science. In addition it will enable the Board to hold two "summer study" workshops on topics of emerging interest.

大气科学与气候委员会（BASC）为国家研究委员会（NRC）的活动提供了一个与气候，天气和与气候有关的科学，工程和政策问题的活动。 BASC为许多联邦机构提供指导，为与这些主题相关的科学和政策提供了一个场所，负责监督有关相关主题的临时NRC研究的发展和监督，并进行外展，教育和国际参与活动。董事会向NRC委员会提供监督，以建议美国全球变更研究计划（USGCRP），并担任美国国家气候研究计划（WCRP）的美国国家委员会。总体而言，它致力于帮助大气科学保持活力，并对社会产生更广泛的影响。该奖项为董事会的核心职能提供了三年的支持。国家海洋与大气管理局（NOAA）和国家航空航天管理局（NASA）为BASC的核心运营和活动提供了额外的资金。这种基本水平的支持对于使BASC能够快速响应赞助商社区的新兴需求，引起人们对科学界确定​​的新问题的关注，并广泛参与与大气和气候科学有关的国家和国际话题。此外，这将使董事会能够举办有关新兴兴趣主题的两个“夏季研究”研讨会。
