Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Resources

该补助金支持国家科学院/国家研究理事会（NAS/NRC）大气科学和气候委员会在1988年8月1日至1989年7月31日期间的活动。理事会通过其常设和特设委员会和小组开展工作，将：1.继续为联邦政府提供科学领导和指导，以解决大气科学和气候方面的重要国家和国际问题，并协调大气科学和跨学科计划（如国际地圈生物圈计划）内的学科活动。2.继续开展气候研究委员会（CRC）、热带海洋-全球大气（TOGA）和国际卫星云气候学项目（ISCCP）咨询小组的活动，为联邦机构提供有关美国参与世界气候研究计划（WCRP）和有关国家气候研究活动的指导。3.继续开展日地研究委员会的活动，包括参加日地物理学国际特别委员会的活动，并完成一份关于长期日地观测的报告。4.组织一个新的气象分析、预报和研究常设委员会，以便集中力量对气象学、天气预报、大气物理学、云物理学、人工影响天气、湍流/扩散和大气科学相关核心领域的基础和应用研究进行科学监督和评估。5.继续开展大气化学委员会的活动。委员会将集中精力处理当代大气变化所引起的基本科学问题，例如，温室气体增加、平流层臭氧消耗和酸沉降。6.通过其常设委员会和特设小组（如需要），保持对联邦机构和国会提出的在大气科学和气候领域进行评估、提供指导、提出建议和提供支持的要求作出快速有效反应的能力。7.作为协调中心，为活动涉及大气科学和气候的其他国家研究理事会单位协调和提供科学专门知识，并与国际气象和大气科学活动联络。这些活动对美国大气科学的规划、监督和评估都很重要。

This grant supports the activities of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate during the period August 1, 1988 through July 31, 1989. The board, operating through its standing and ad hoc committees and panels, will: 1. Continue to provide scientific leadership and guidance to the federal government on important national and international issues in the atmospheric sciences and climate, and on the coordination between discipline-orinted activities within the atmospheric sciences and interdisciplinary programs such as the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program. 2. Continue the activities of th eClimate Research Committee (CRC) and the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) Advisory Panels in providing guidance to the Federal agencies on U.S. participation in the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and on related national climate research activities. 3. Continue the activities of the Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Research, including participationin the activitis of the International Special Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) and completionof a report on long-term solar- terrestrial observations. 4. Organize a new standing Committee on Meteorological Analysis, Prediction, and Research in order to provide a focus for scientific oversight and assessment of basic and applied research in meteorology, weather prediction, atmospheric physics, cloud physics, weather modification, turbulence/diffusion, and allied core areas of the atmospheric sciences. 5. Continue the activities of the Committee on Atmospheric Chemistry. The Committee will focus its efforts on the fundamental scientific questions raised by contemporary atmospheric changes, e.g., increases in greenhouse gases, stratospheric ozone depletion, and acid deposition. 6. Through its standing committees and ad hoc panels as required, maintain a capability to respond rapidly and effectively to requests by the Federal agencies and the Congress for evaluations, guidance, recommendations, and support in the areas of atmospherid science and climate. 7. Serve as a focal point for coordination and provision of scientific expertise for other National Research Council units whose activities impinge on atmospheric sciences and climate, and for liaison with international meteorological and atmospheric sciences activities. These activities are important for the planning, oversight, and assessment of atmospheric sciences in the United States.
