SCOSTEP: U.S. Participation in the Scientific Committee On Solar-Terrestrial Physics

该奖项支持美国继续代表国际科学理事会（ICSU）的日地物理科学委员会（SCOSTEP）。SCOSTEP组织和开展国际日地物理项目的有限的持续时间与其他ICSU机构合作,包括空间研究委员会(COSPAR),国际地磁学与高层大气物理学协会(IAGA),国际气象和大气科学协会(IAMAS),国际天文学联合会(IAU)国际纯粹与应用物理联合会(IUPAP),国际大地测量学和地球物理学联合会(IUGG),南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）和国际无线电科学联合会（URSI）。SCOSTEP的主要任务是促进、组织和协调太阳-地球物理学（STP）的国际跨学科项目和专题讨论会，并定义与这些项目相关的数据，这些数据应该通过数据中心进行交换。通过其项目，SCOSTEP推进了太阳地球物理学的科学知识，支持了一个具有全球意识和参与STP的社区，并促进了早期STP科学家的发展。SCOSTEP提供了一个论坛，来自不同学科的科学家可以在这里进行互动，产生想法，并沿着和跨学科线实施活动。SCOSTEP目前的科学项目是太阳-地球系统的气候和天气（CAWSES），旨在显著提高对空间环境及其对生活和社会影响的理解。美国继续在SCOSTEP中发挥重要的科学和领导作用，美国应该支持这些活动。

This award supports the continued representation of the United States in the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) of the International Council for Science (ICSU). SCOSTEP organizes and conducts international solar-terrestrial physics programs of finite duration in cooperation with other ICSU bodies, including the Committee of Space Research (COSPAR), International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA), International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), International Astronomical Union (IAU), International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). SCOSTEP's principal tasks are to promote, organize, and coordinate international interdisciplinary programs and symposia in solar-terrestrial physics (STP), and to define the data relating to these programs that should be exchanged through data centers. Through its programs, SCOSTEP advances scientific knowledge of solar terrestrial physics, supports a globally-aware and engaged STP community, and promotes the development of early-career STP scientists. SCOSTEP provides a forum where scientists from different disciplines can interact, generate ideas, and implement activities along and across disciplinary lines. SCOSTEP's current scientific program is the Climate and Weather of the Sun-Earth System (CAWSES), which is designed to significantly enhance the understanding of the space environment and its impacts on life and society. The U.S. continues to have a substantial scientific and leadership role in SCOSTEP, and the U.S. dues support these activities.
