This action funds Vu Nguyen of the University of Colorado at Boulder to conduct a research project in Geoscience during the summer of 2013 at National Central University in Jhongli, Taiwan. The project title is "Impacts on the Upper Atmosphere from Long Period Planetary Waves Generated from Below." The host scientist is Dr. Loren Chang.The research project investigates the ways in which planetary waves, global-scale atmospheric oscillations generated in the lower/middle atmosphere, can drive the variability of the upper atmosphere. It specifically focuses on the 16-day planetary wave and its effects on the upper atmosphere through nonlinear interactions with atmospheric tides. The first phase of the project involves the implementation of the 16-day planetary wave in an atmospheric general circulation model developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Model results are utilized to identify the main mechanisms through which the effects of the 16-day planetary wave are transmitted to the upper atmosphere. The second phase of the project compares the model results to observations from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology Ionospheric and Climate (COSMIC), a satellite mission funded jointly by Taiwan and the United States. The results of the project will improve our understanding of the atmosphere as a complete system and eventually be utilized to make better predictions for the upper atmosphere, a region housing space technology that is critical to the progress of science and the functioning of global society.Broader impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce. Furthermore, the research conducted will be presented at an international conference during the stay in Taiwan to disseminate the information to a broad, global audience. After arrival back in the United States, the international experience gained under the EAPSI fellowship will be shared with others in order to encourage future participation in the program and to highlight the benefits of international endeavors.

这项行动为科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的Vu Nguyen提供了资金，在2013年夏天在台湾Jhongli的国家中央大学在地球科学进行了研究项目。 该项目标题是“从下方产生的长期行星波对高层大气的影响”。主持人科学家是Loren Chang博士。研究项目研究了行星波，下层/中间大气中产生的全球大气振荡的方式，可以推动高层大气的变异性。它特别着眼于16天的行星波及其对大气潮的影响对高层大气的影响。 该项目的第一阶段涉及在国家大气研究中心开发的大气通用循环模型中实施16天的行星波。模型结果用于确定16天行星波的影响传播到上层大气的主要机制。项目的第二阶段将模型结果与气象层观测系统的观察结果进行了比较，气象学电离层和气候（宇宙）是由台湾和美国共同资助的卫星任务。该项目的结果将提高我们对大气作为一个完整系统的理解，并最终用于对高层大气做出更好的预测，这是一种对科学进步和全球社会运作至关重要的地区住房空间技术。BROADER对EAPSI奖学金的影响包括提供美国以外的第一手研究经验。各自位置的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施的简介；以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，以在其科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯的早期对国际合作进行教育，从而确保全球意识的美国科学劳动力。 此外，进行的研究将在台湾逗留期间的国际会议上进行，以将信息传播给广泛的全球观众。回到美国后，将与其他人共享的国际经验将与他人共享，以鼓励将来参与该计划并强调国际努力的好处。
