Review of the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Draft Science Goals and Objectives; Washington, DC; March 31 - April 1, 2014

该项目的目标是让国家研究理事会(NRC)组织一次公开讲习班，让大气科学界和其他有关方面酌情参与，就草案提供反馈，请与会者就以下问题分享他们的看法：目标和目的是否明确和适当？如果大气和地球空间科学司(AGS)要实现其总体愿景和使命，草案中是否有应包含的内容领域？是否有足够的机制来协调和整合涉及国家科学基金会内多个学科和多个部门的问题？研讨会将于2014年3月31日至4月1日在华盛顿特区国家科学院举行。它还将包括一个简短的前瞻性会议，与会者将在会上讨论研究前沿。咨询小组可考虑根据已确定的目标和目的以及那些已被确认为缺失的目标和目的继续努力。委员会将编写一份信函报告，从自己的立场解决上述问题，审查AGS的目标和目的草案。

The goal of this project is for the National Research Council (NRC) to organize a public workshop to engage the atmospheric sciences community and others as appropriate to provide feedback on the draft by asking participants to share their views in the context of the following questions: Are the goals and objectives clear and appropriate? Are there any content areas missing from the draft that should be present if Division on Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) is to achieve its overall vision and mission? Are there adequate mechanisms for coordinating and integrating issues that involve multiple disciplines and multiple divisions within National Science Foundation? The workshop will take place on March 31-April 1, 2014 at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC. It will also include a brief, forward-looking session where participants will discuss research frontiers. AGS might consider pursuing in light of the goals and objectives that have been identified as well as those that have been acknowledged as missing. The committee will write a letter report reviewing the AGS draft goals and objectives by addressing the questions above from its own standpoint.
