Definition and Implementation of Science Objectives for the Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program

随着第一批研究项目的确定，日地能源计划（STEP）的初始规划阶段即将结束。这些项目现在必须整合到一个连贯的跨学科计划中，该计划将重点放在作为一个复杂互动系统的日地环境上。必须确定实施阶段的具体科学目标，国家STEP计划必须与STEP指导委员会确定的项目相结合。这项工作将建立一个国际科学协调员办公室，由PI在未来两年内担任协调员。这些职责包括(i)与参与的科学界合作，确定科学目标并协调STEP项目的规划和实施；（ii）编写STEP的所有主要科学报告；（iii）促进该计划在世界范围内的推广、公众的了解和发展中国家科学家的参与；（iv）代表STEP参加相关的科学会议。＊＊＊

Abstract The initial planning phase of the Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program (STEP) is coming to an end with the identification of the first set of research projects. These projects must now be integrated into a coherent interdisciplinary program that focusses on the solar-terrestrial environment as one complex interactive system. Specific science objectives for the implementation phase must be defined, and national STEP programs must be combined with the projects identified by the STEP Steering Committee. This effort will establish an International Science Coordinator Office with the PI acting as the Coordinator during the next two years. These duties include (i) to work with the participating scientific community in the definition of science objectives and coordination of planning and implementation of STEP projects; (ii) to produce all major scientific reports of STEP; (iii) to facilitate the world-wide promotion of the program, public understanding, and participation of scientists in developing countries; (iv) to participate in relevant scientific meetings on behalf of STEP. ***
