2019 Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar (GRC)/(GRS) on Radiation and Climate; Lewiston, Maine; July 20-26, 2019

该奖项支持将于2019年7月21-26日在缅因州刘易斯顿的贝茨学院举行的第十一届戈登辐射与气候研究会议(GRC)。另外还为戈登研究研讨会(GRS)提供了额外的支持，该研讨会在戈登研究中心召开的前一个周末召开。GRS是一次专门针对学生和职业早期科学家的会议前会议，旨在提供一个舒适的环境，让具有类似经验和教育水平的与会者聚集在一起讨论他们目前的研究，并建立长期合作的非正式网络。GRC和GRS的主题是“连接辐射和气候的时空尺度”，具体主题包括北极变化、从重力波到全球环流的大气动力学和气候、从微尺度到全球尺度的冰过程、云观测、气溶胶和辐射、从当前云过程到古气候的气候敏感性、温室气体，以及从云到全球尺度的辐射收支。GRC和GRS作为研究人员交流结果和想法的场所，试图了解影响天气和气候的辐射过程，因此具有更广泛的科学影响。这次会议预计对初出茅庐的科学家特别有利，因为它的目的是促进初级和高级科学家在一周的时间里进行深入互动，在一个规模可控、几乎没有分心的有利环境中进行。考虑到辐射效应在控制和调节气候方面的关键作用，需要解决的问题具有社会意义。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the eleventh Gordon Research Conference (GRC)on Radiation and Climate, to be held at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, 21-26 July 2019. Additional support is provided for the fifth Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), convened the weekend prior to the GRC. The GRS is a pre-conference meeting targeted specifically at students and early-career scientists, intended to provide a comfortable environment in which participants with comparable levels of experience and education come together to discuss their current research and build informal networks for long-term collaboration. The theme of the GRC and GRS is "Bridging Spatial and Temporal Scales in Radiation and Climate", and specific topics include the the changing Arctic, atmospheric dynamics and climate from gravity wave to global circulations, ice processes from microscale to global scale, cloud observations, aerosols and radiation, climate sensitivity from current cloud processes to paleo-climate, greenhouse gases, and the radiation budget from cloud to global scale.The GRC and GRS have scientific broader impacts by serving as a venue for the exchange of results and ideas among researchers attempting to understand the radiative processes that govern weather and climate. The meeting is expected to be particularly advantageous for early-career scientists, as it is formulated to promote in-depth interactions among junior and senior scientists over the course of a week, in a conducive setting of manageable size with few distractions. The topics to be addressed are of societal interest given the key role of radiative effects in controlling and regulating climate.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
