Review of US Global Change Research Program (Committee on Global Change)

应科技政策办公室(OSTP)主任的要求，国家研究委员会(NRC)将对美国全球变化研究计划(USGCRP)的研究计划进行审查，包括评估与美国国家航空航天局地球观测系统(EOS)在USGCRP中的作用有关的若干科学问题。审查将在NRC全球变化委员会(CGC)的支持下进行，并得到NRC其他几个与地球、生命和空间科学有关的单位的协助。审查将使用CGC的两个密切协调的小组。其中一个将作为一个整体审查USGCRP，第二个将在USGCRP的背景下处理OSTP请求中与EOS有关的具体问题。审查的初步结果将在1990年4月1日之前提交给OSTP，最后报告将在1990年7月1日之前提交。

In response to a request from the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Research Council (NRC) will conduct a review of the research plan for the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), including an assessment of a number of scientific issues relating to the role of the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) in the USGCRP. The review will be conducted under the aegis of the NRC's Committee on Global Change (CGC), with the assistance of several other NRC units concerned with earth, life, and space sciences. The review will use two closely coordinated panels of the CGC. One will review the USGCRP as a whole, and the second will address specific issues singled out in the OSTP request relating to EOS in the context of the USGCRP. Preliminary results of the review will be transmitted to OSTP by April 1, 1990, and the final report will be transmitted by July 1, 1990.
