This award funds the travel of US scientists to attend the Second International Conference on GPS Radio Occultation (ICGPSRO) in Tao-Yuan, Taiwan. NSF has a longstanding partnership, through the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, with the Taiwanese National Space Organization (NSPO), in the development of space-based GPS radio occultation (RO) as a technology for observing the atmosphere. This partnership produced the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, the Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC), a six-satellite constellation of polar orbiting satellites with GPS receivers (launched in 2006). The COSMIC mission has beeh highly sucessful, and a follow-on mission, COSMIC-2, is under development. COSMIC-2 will consist of two six-satellite constellations, one in polar orbits and one in low-inclination tropical orbits, and the new satellites contain substantial enhancements over the previous generation.The purpose of this award is to encourage the adoption of COSMIC-2 data by the US research community. The COSMIC-2 tropical constellation, with a planned launch date in Fiscal Year 2016, will provide unprecedented vertical profiles of temperature and moisture in the tropics, as well as coverage of conditions in the tropical ionosphere. This award will allow up to 10 US researchers to attend the meeting and determine the optimal research uses of COSMIC-2 data, and will work with their Taiwanese counterparts to identify areas of common interest and potential US-Taiwanese collaboration.This award is co-funded by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering

该奖项为美国科学家的旅行提供了资金，参加了台湾陶恩恩举行的第二次国际GPS广播宣传会议（ICGPSRO）。 NSF通过与台湾国家太空组织（NSPO）的大气研究公司（NSF）建立了长期的合作伙伴关系，在开发基于空间的GPS无线电掩盖（RO）方面是观察大气的技术。 该伙伴关系产生了气象学，电离层和气候（宇宙）的星座观测系统，这是一个带有GPS接收器的极地轨道卫星的六卫星星座（2006年推出）。 宇宙使命是非常成功的，并且正在开发一个后续任务，即宇宙2。 Cosmic-2将由两个六个卫星星座组成，一个是极地轨道，一个在低压的热带轨道上，新卫星对上一代的增强作用。该奖项的目的是鼓励美国研究社区采用宇宙-2数据。 宇宙-2热带星座计划于2016财政年度计划发射日期，将在热带地区提供前所未有的垂直温度和水分，并在热带电离层中覆盖条件。 该奖项将允许多达10名美国研究人员参加会议并确定宇宙-2数据的最佳研究用途，并将与他们的台湾同行一起确定共同兴趣和潜在的美国台湾合作领域。该奖项由NSF国际科学和工程办公室共同资助。
