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.

该行动资助科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的 Vu Nguyen 于 2013 年夏季在台湾中坜的国立中央大学开展地球科学研究项目。 该项目的标题是“下方产生的长周期行星波对高层大气的影响”。主持科学家是 Loren Chang 博士。该研究项目研究行星波（低层/中层大气中产生的全球尺度大气振荡）如何驱动高层大气的变化。它特别关注 16 天的行星波及其通过与大气潮汐的非线性相互作用对高层大气的影响。 该项目第一阶段涉及在国家大气研究中心开发的大气环流模型中实施16天行星波。模型结果用于确定 16 天行星波的影响传输到高层大气的主要机制。该项目的第二阶段将模型结果与气象电离层和气候星座观测系统（COSMIC）的观测结果进行比较，这是一个由台湾和美国联合资助的卫星任务。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，高层大气是一个拥有空间技术的区域，对科学进步和全球社会的运作至关重要。 EAPSI 奖学金的影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；各自地点的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施的介绍；以及对社会、文化和语言的定位。 这些活动符合 NSF 的目标，即在科学家、工程师和教育工作者职业生涯的早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。 此外，所进行的研究将在台湾逗留期间的国际会议上展示，以便向全球广大受众传播信息。回到美国后，在 EAPSI 奖学金下获得的国际经验将与其他人分享，以鼓励未来参与该计划并强调国际努力的好处。
