Conference: 2023 Radiation and Climate Gordon Research Conference and Seminar; Lewiston, Maine; July 22-28, 2023

该奖项支持第十二届戈登研究会议（GRC）辐射和气候，将在贝茨学院在刘易斯顿，缅因州，2023年7月23日至28日举行。额外的支持是提供给第六戈登研究研讨会（GRS），召开之前的GRC。GRS是专门针对学生和早期职业科学家的会前会议，旨在提供一个环境，让具有可比经验和教育水平的参与者可以聚集在一起讨论他们目前的研究并建立长期合作网络。GRC和GRS的主题是“气候系统行为的理论和观测约束”，包括来自守恒原理和幂律关系的约束。 主题包括从能量平衡的降水约束，新兴的观测技术，以及由于水汽连续体中的辐射传输对气候系统行为的约束。GRC和GRS作为试图了解天气和气候的辐射过程的研究人员之间的结果和思想交流的场所，具有更广泛的科学影响。会议预计将特别有利于职业生涯初期的科学家，因为它的制定是为了促进初级和高级科学家在一周的时间内进行深入的互动，在一个有利的环境中，规模可控，几乎没有分心。鉴于辐射效应在控制和调节气候方面的关键作用，所要解决的主题具有社会利益。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。

This award supports the twelfth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Radiation and Climate, to be held at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, 23-28 July 2023. Additional support is provided for the sixth Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), convened just prior to the GRC. The GRS is a pre-conference meeting targeted specifically at students and early-career scientists, intended to provide an environment in which participants with comparable levels of experience and education can come together to discuss their current research and build networks for long-term collaboration. The theme of the GRC and GRS is "Theoretical and Observational Constraints on Climate System Behavior", including constraints derived from conservation principles and power law relationships. Topics include constraints on precipitation from energy balance, emerging observational techniques, and constraints on climate system behavior due to radiative transfer in the water vapor continuum.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.
