Activities of the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC)

大气科学和气候委员会（BASC）在美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院（NASEM）内为与大气和气候科学及相关政策问题有关的活动提供场所。BASC就各种主题向联邦机构提供指导，为推进与这些主题相关的科学和政策提供场所，监督有关主题的特别NASEM研究的开发和监督，并开展外联，教育和国际参与活动。该委员会为NASEM委员会提供监督，为美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）提供建议，更广泛地说，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。该奖项为委员会的核心职能提供支持，为期三年。美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）和美国国家航空航天局（NASA）为BASC的核心业务和活动提供额外资金。这种基层支持对于使BASC能够快速响应赞助社区的新需求，提请注意科学界确定的新问题，并广泛参与与大气和气候科学有关的国家和国际讨论至关重要。此外，这将使理事会能够就新出现的感兴趣的专题举办两次“夏季研究”讲习班。该奖项还支持克莉丝汀米尔扎扬科学和技术政策研究生奖学金，为早期职业科学家提供10-12周的教育和培训机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) provides a locus within the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) for activities related to atmospheric and climate science and related policy issues. The BASC provides guidance to federal agencies on a variety of topics, offers a venue for advancing science and policy related to these topics, oversees development and oversight of ad hoc NASEM studies on relevant subjects, and conducts outreach, education, and international engagement activities. The Board provides oversight to the NASEM Committee to Advise the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and, more generally, strives 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 the 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. The award also supports the Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship, a 10-12 week educational and training opportunity for early career scientists.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.
