The Workshop on the proposed Network of Mountain Observatories for Composition of the Atmosphere (MOCA) will bring together atmospheric scientists to develop a long-term plan for coordinating research efforts at multiple high-elevation sites within the continental U.S. Atmospheric measurements at high altitudes are sparse, and continuous sampling at mountain research observatories provides access to critical information about long-term changes in regional background atmospheric composition, as well as seasonal and diurnal processes and extreme episodes (e.g. wildfires, radionuclide releases, volcanic ash, dust storms, and stratospheric intrusions). The proposed network spans across different climatic zones and ecosystems in the U.S. and includes four internationally recognized atmospheric research observatories, which have been in operation for decades and are well-positioned to observe both atmospheric flow to the continental U.S. from the west and atmospheric flow to the east. Specific goals of the workshop will be to: (1) further develop and refine the research objectives within each of the proposed science themes (reactive trace gases, greenhouse gases, aerosols and radiation, and clouds and precipitation); (2) identify critical measurements needed to meet these research objectives; (3) identify strategies to leverage measurements within different science themes to address additional research objectives or to better address existing research objectives; (4) identify research objectives that would especially benefit from a common set of measurements across sites; (5) develop metrics to prioritize research objectives; (6) evaluate the measurement infrastructure and data management needs for each site to be incorporated into the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) network as a global station; (7) encourage critical discussion about how best to implement and manage such a broad range of research objectives across multiple sites, including a data management plan; (8) develop a timeline for each research objective, following initial instrument integration at each site; (9) identify opportunities for meaningful and productive collaboration with other agencies and local/regional stakeholders; and (10) identify strategies for sustaining long-term, well-calibrated measurements at each site. Conclusions from the workshop will be disseminated through a workshop summary publication.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.

拟议的山区大气组成观测站网络讲习班(MOCA)将使大气科学家汇聚一堂，制定一项长期计划，以协调美国大陆内多个高海拔地点的研究工作。高海拔地区的大气测量稀少，山区研究观测站的连续采样提供了关于区域背景大气组成的长期变化以及季节和昼夜过程和极端事件(如野火、放射性核素释放、火山灰、沙尘暴和平流层侵入)的关键信息。拟议中的网络跨越美国不同的气候带和生态系统，包括四个国际公认的大气研究观测站，这些观测站已经运行了几十年，处于有利地位，可以观测从西部流向美国大陆的大气和向东流动的大气。讲习班的具体目标将是：(1)在每个拟议的科学主题(活性痕量气体、温室气体、气溶胶和辐射以及云和降水)中进一步发展和完善研究目标；(2)确定满足这些研究目标所需的关键测量；(3)确定利用不同科学主题中的测量来处理其他研究目标或更好地处理现有研究目标的战略；(4)确定特别受益于跨地点的一套共同测量的研究目标；(5)制定确定研究目标的优先次序的衡量标准；(6)评估每个站点作为一个全球站点纳入全球大气观测网络的测量基础设施和数据管理需求；(7)鼓励就如何最好地在多个站点执行和管理如此广泛的研究目标，包括数据管理计划进行批判性讨论；(8)在每个站点初步整合仪器之后，为每个研究目标制定时间表；(9)确定与其他机构和地方/区域利益攸关方开展有意义和富有成效的合作的机会；和(10)确定在每个站点维持长期、校准良好的测量的战略。研讨会的结论将通过研讨会摘要出版物发布。这一奖项反映了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。
