Activities of the Polar Research Board 2011 - 2014

气候和大尺度动力学为大气科学和气候委员会（BASC）提供核心支持，以帮助科学界并就大气科学和气候研究问题向联邦机构提供建议。BASC是国家科学院的一部分，1863年由国会授权，为政府提供独立的科学建议。BASC使用志愿专家协助设计研究和研讨会，并审查和评估研究结果和评估优先事项。BASC还促进美国参与国际研究项目，如世界气候研究项目、气候变率和可预测性项目。BASC通过综合科学信息广泛地影响政策，因此对联邦、州和地方决策者有用。因此，这项活动具有相当广泛的影响。

The Climate and Large-Scale Dynamics provides core support to the Board of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) to aid the science community and advise federal agencies on atmospheric sciences and climate research issues. The BASC is part of the National Academies, chartered by Congress in 1863 to provide independent science advice to government. The BASC uses volunteer experts to assist in the design of research studies and workshops and to review and assess findings and assess priorities. The BASC also facilitates US involvement in international research programs such as World Climate Research Program, Climate Variability and Predictability Program.The BASC broadly impacts policy by synthesizing scientific information so it is useful to federal, state, and local decision makers. Thus this activity has substantial broader impacts.
