Operation of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee

雪松是一项由三个阶段组成的空气动力学倡议，得到了国内和国际社会的认可。由于该方案的基本概念涉及资源的协作和全社区使用，以及多机构运动和科学分析活动，因此显然需要协调。雪松科学指导委员会(Cedar-SSC)的基本作用是在整个美国航空界以及在国际领域提供协调和信息传输。Cedar目前正处于该计划的第二阶段，届时将有大量资助的科学活动以及涉及仪器和设施开发和升级的活动。指导委员会的成员由国家科学基金会大气科学局空气学和高层大气设施部门的项目主任与目前的SSC成员协商挑选。在接下来的两年里，委员会将定期举行会议，讨论各种问题，包括运动组织、仪器操作、年度雪松夏季研讨会的计划、在国内和国际范围内推广雪松、设施运营和科学研讨会规划。

CEDAR is a 3-phased aeronomy initiative that is recognized within both national and international communities. Since the fundamental concept of the program involves collaborative and community-wide use of resources as well as multi-institution campaigns and science analysis activities, there is a clear need for coordination. The basic role of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CEDAR-SSC) is to provide for coordination and information transfer throughout the U.S. aeronomy community as well as in the international realm. CEDAR is currently in Phase II of the program, durieng which time there will be extensive funded science campaign activities as well as activities involving instrument and facility development and upgrades. Members of the steering committee are selected by the NSF Program Directors for the Aeronomy and Upper Atmospheric Facilities sections of the Atmospheric Sciences Directorate in consultation with the current SSC members. During the next two years, the committee will meet regularly to discuss the various issues involving campaign organization, instrument operation, the program for the annual CEDAR summer workshop, promotion of CEDAR in the national and international sphere, facility operation, and science symposia planning.
