International Atmospheric Chemistry Meetings, 1987

目前，我们不断发展的科技社会正在向对流层排放越来越多的废物。这些物质在远距离上的快速移动不仅在城市地区，而且在半球和全球尺度上对天然对流层造成化学干扰。当前的问题，如酸性降水的原因和影响、放射性活性微量气体浓度增加可能造成的气候变化、对全球对流层氮和硫循环的重要营养成分正在改变的担忧，凸显了对全球对流层环境变化的担忧。国际气象与大气物理协会（IAMAP）的大气化学与全球污染委员会（CACGP）确信，如果要预测人类活动对大气环境的影响并减轻有害影响，就必须在大范围的空间和时间尺度上全面了解大气化学。CACGP特别呼吁关注这一问题的全球方面，估计它将影响世界上所有国家。以上概述的当前问题突出了对全球尺度大气环境变化的关注。因此，CACGP强烈敦促加强致力于全球大气化学的国际研究努力。作为促进全球大气化学国际交流和作为发展这一领域国际合作研究努力的论坛的目标的一部分，CACGP自1967年以来一直主办国际会议。CACGP第六届国际大气化学研讨会将于8月24日至29日在加拿大安大略省的彼得伯勒举行。这些国际研讨会每四年举行一次，被普遍认为是大气地球化学领域最好和最全面的国际会议。该奖项将为参加本次研讨会的多达40名美国科学家提供部分旅费支持。为了甄选获得差旅资助的申请人，CACGP将成立一个由两人组成的委员会，对收到的申请进行评估。将强调对年轻科学家的支持。只有美国科学家才有资格。将根据个别摘要与会议的主要主题和目标的相关性作出决定。

The troposphere is presently receiving increasing quantities of waste products from our continually growing technological society. The rapid movement of these substances over great distances causes chemical disturbances to the natural troposphere, not only in urban areas but on the hemispheric and global scales as well. Current issues such as the causes and effects of acidic precipitation, possible climate modification as a result of increasing concentrations of radiatively active trace gases, and concern that important nutrient components of the global tropospheric nitrogen and sulfur cycles are being altered highlight the concern about global changes to our tropospheric environment. The Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (CACGP) of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics (IAMAP) is convinced that a thorough understanding of atmospheric chemistry on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales is essential if impacts of human activities on the atmospheric environment are to be anticipated and harmful effects mitigated. The CACGP especially calls attention to the global aspects of this problem, which are estimated to impact all nations of the world. The current issues outlined above highlight the concern about global scales changes to the atmospheric environment. The CACGP has therefore strongly urged increased international research efforts devoted to global atmospheric chemistry. As part of its objectives to foster international communication in global atmospheric chemistry and to act as a forum for the development of cooperative international research efforts in this area, CACGP has sponsored international meetings since 1967. The CACGP's Sixth International Symposium on Atmospheric Chemistry is to be held at Peterborough, Ontario, Canada the week of August 24-29. These international CACGP symposia are held every four years and have been generally recognized as the best and most comprehensive international meetings on atmospheric geochemistry. This award will provide partial travel support for up to 40 U.S. scientists to attend this symposium. To select recipients of travel support CACGP will set up a two-person committee to evaluate the applications received. Support of younger scientists will be emphasized. Only U.S. scientists will be eligible. Decisions will be based on the relevance of the individual abstracts to the primary themes and objectives of the meetings.
