Operations of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee

该奖项支持大气区域耦合、能量学和动力学(Cedar)科学指导委员会(CSSC)的活动。CSSC由国家科学基金会(NSF)任命的大气科学界代表组成，并为社区与NSF的空气学和高层大气设施计划之间的沟通提供了正式机制。CSSC帮助确定雪松计划的方向和议程，并协调该计划与其他国家和国际计划的活动。CSSC名义上的活动是：(1)每年6月在科罗拉多州博尔德市召开年度雪松研讨会，每年秋天在国家科学基金会开会；(2)每年出版三次雪松通讯。今后两年的具体任务包括执行和启动与美国航天局计时卫星方案的合作研究，并于2001年6月举行一次连续的锡达尔--科学、技术和人造卫星专题讨论会。这项提案要求提供资金，以支持CSSC在未来两年的活动。

This award supports the activities of the Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of the Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) Science Steering Committee (CSSC). The CSSC is composed of representatives from the atmospheric sciences community appointed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and provides a formal mechanism for communication between the community and the NSF's Aeronomy and Upper Atmospheric Facilities Programs. The CSSC helps set the direction and agenda for the CEDAR program and coordinates the program's activities with other national and international programs. The nominal activities of the CSSC are: (1) to convene the annual CEDAR workshop in Boulder, Colorado each June and to meet at NSF each fall; and (2) to publish the CEDAR newsletter three times per year. Specific tasks over the next two years include the implementation and initiation of collaborative studies with the NASA TIMED Satellite Program and conducting a contiguous CEDAR-STP symposium in June 2001. This proposal requests funds to support the CSSC's activities over the next two years.
