Student Support at the 2017 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting; Seattle, Washington; January 22-26, 2017

大气过程的观测对于揭示天气和气候的复杂性至关重要。在这项会议支持奖中，参加2017年美国气象学会（AMS）年会的学生将被指派参加会谈，以收集推进科学所需的观测数据。虽然它不是对社区的全面调查，但它是一个大的交叉领域，将为科学家、政府机构和决策者在考虑哪些观测需求没有得到满足时提供额外的数据点。2017年年会的主题是“观察引领潮流”。已经召开了特别会议来讨论观察结果，会议期间的每一位发言者都被要求讨论哪些观察结果最有助于推动他们的科学研究。该奖项将为参加这些会议的大量学生提供支持，然后将他们的发现报告给AMS项目委员会。然后，该委员会将汇集这些数据，并通过一篇期刊文章和文件向资助机构和决策者传播这些信息。

Observations of atmospheric processes are vitally important to unraveling the complexities of weather and climate. In this award for conference support, students attending the 2017 American Meteorological Society's (AMS) Annual Meeting will be tasked with attending talks to collect data on the observations that are needed to advance the science. While it is not a comprehensive survey of the community, it is a large cross-cut that will provide scientists, government agencies, and policy-makers an additional data point when considering where observational needs are not being met.The theme for the 2017 AMS Annual Meeting is "Observations Lead the Way". Special sessions have been convened to discuss observations and each of the speakers throughout the meeting have been asked to discuss what observations would best help move their scientific studies forward. This award will provide support for a large number of students to attend these sessions and then report their findings back to the AMS program committee. The committee will then bring the data together and disseminate the information through a journal article and documents for funding agencies and policy makers.
