CEDAR Workshop 2018 - 2020 and Community Web Pages and Email Services

这笔拨款将用于资助2018年至2020年三个夏季的年度夏季CEDAR（大气区域耦合、能量学和动力学）研讨会。雪松是一个基础广泛的、社区发起的高层大气研究项目，其目标是了解大气区域在区域和全球尺度上从大气中层向上通过热层和电离层进入外逸层的耦合、能量学、化学和动力学行为。这些过程与从低层大气向上传播的扰动源以及太阳辐射、粒子输入和来自上方的电场的结果有关。传统上，雪松会议被认为是全球超过1,850人的雪松社区最重要的研讨会。该项目支持的活动结合了观察、理论和建模。此外，该署全年亦会提供额外服务，以保持姓名、地址和电邮资料库的最新资料，并透过维基网页和电邮，支持社区团结。雪松讲习班和相关的社区服务将由UCAR促进地球系统科学合作方案（CPAESS）管理。CPAESS的使命是通过支持有效的合作奖学金、访问和研讨会项目，满足新兴的培训和研究需求，培养和培训下一代天气和气候科学领袖和工作人员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant will fund the annual summer CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions) workshop for the three summers of 2018 to 2020. CEDAR is a broad-based, community-initiated, upper atmospheric research program with the targeted goal of understanding the behavior of atmospheric regions from the middle atmosphere upward through the thermosphere and ionosphere into the exosphere in terms of coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics on regional and global scales. These processes are related to the sources of perturbations that propagate upward from the lower atmosphere as well as a result of solar radiation, particle inputs and electric fields from above. Traditionally the CEDAR meeting has been regarded as the foremost workshop for the CEDAR community of over 1,850 people worldwide. The activities supported within this program combine observations, theory and modeling. Additional services are provided throughout the year to keep the database of names, addresses and emails current, as well as supporting community unity through wiki web pages and community emails.The CEDAR Workshop and associated community services would be managed by the UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS). The mission of CPAESS is geared toward preparing and training the next generation of weather and climate scientific leaders and workforce by supporting effective and collaborative fellowships, visitor, and workshop programs that meet emerging training and research needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
