Coordination Meeting on Observing Systems for Environmental Solutions

将举行一次研讨会，汇集著名科学家，就由NSF资助或提议资助的科学观测系统之间的协同作用提出建议，以及这种协同作用和这些系统的能力，以应对国家研究委员会确定的重大环境挑战。与会者将探讨NSF新兴和当前观测系统的建议和潜在价值，以应对这些挑战。至关重要的是，确定随着观测系统的部署，知识中的差距将继续存在或变得更加重要，以及这将如何影响非观测系统科学的作用。特别重要的是确定观察系统之间和内部的协同作用以及互操作性的系统要求。预期的智力影响将是确定新兴的前沿，未实现的研究机会，以及由综合环境研究观测系统和网络产生的独特基础设施能力。讲习班将通过确定观测系统产生与社会有关的环境问题的解决办法的潜力，产生广泛的影响。此外，所产生的报告将通过为AC-ERE、NSF和更广泛的社区制定一套建议，对观测系统的规划、资助、实施、协调和使用作出贡献。

A workshop will be held to bring together noted scientists to provide recommendations on the synergy among scientific observing systems funded or proposed for funding by NSF, and the ability of that synergy, and those systems, to address grand environmental challenges identified by the National Research Council. The participants will explore the proposed and potential value of NSF nascent and current observing systems to address these challenges. Of critical importance will be the identification of gaps in knowledge that will remain or become more critical as observing systems are deployed, and how this may affect the role of non-observing system science. Of particular importance will be the identification of synergies among and withinobserving systems and system requirements for inter-operability. The anticipated intellectual impact will be the identification of emergent frontiers, unrealized research opportunities, and unique infrastructure capacity that arise from the combined environmental research observing systems and networks. The workshop will have broad impacts by defining the potential of observing systems to generate solutions to environmental problems relevant to society. In addition, the resulting reports will contribute to the planning, funding, implementation, coordination, and use of the observing systems through formulating a set of recommendations for the AC-ERE, NSF, and the wider community.
