The Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) provides a locus for National Research Council (NRC) activities on major atmosphere, weather, and climate-related science, engineering, and policy issues. BASC provides guidance to many federal agencies, offers a venue for advancing science and policy related to these topics, oversees development and oversight of ad hoc NRC studies on relevant subjects, and conducts outreach, education, and international engagement activities. The Board provides oversight to the NRC Committee to Advise the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and serves as the US National Committee to the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). It strives overall to help atmospheric science remain vibrant and have a broader impact on society.This award provides support for the core functions of the Board for a three-year period. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide additional funds toward BASC's core operations and activities. This base level support is essential for enabling BASC to quickly respond to emerging needs from the sponsor community, draw attention to new issues identified by the scientific community, and engage broadly in the national and international discourse related to atmospheric and climate science. In addition it will enable the Board to hold two "summer study" workshops on topics of emerging interest. The award also supports the Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship, a 10-12 week educational and training opportunity for early career scientists. Mirzayan fellows support a range of Board activities, including background research for BASC studies and helping to organize the board meetings.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.

大气科学与气候委员会 (BASC) 为国家研究委员会 (NRC) 在主要大气、天气和气候相关科学、工程和政策问题方面的活动提供了场所。 BASC 为许多联邦机构提供指导，提供推进与这些主题相关的科学和政策的场所，监督 NRC 关于相关主题的临时研究的发展和监督，并开展外展、教育和国际参与活动。该委员会向 NRC 委员会提供监督，为美国全球变化研究计划 (USGCRP) 提供咨询，并担任世界气候研究计划 (WCRP) 的美国国家委员会。它总体上致力于帮助大气科学保持活力并对社会产生更广泛的影响。该奖项为董事会的核心职能提供为期三年的支持。美国国家海洋和大气管理局 (NOAA) 和美国国家航空航天局 (NASA) 为 BASC 的核心运营和活动提供额外资金。这种基础水平的支持对于使 BASC 能够快速响应赞助者群体的新需求、引起人们对科学界发现的新问题的关注以及广泛参与与大气和气候科学相关的国家和国际讨论至关重要。此外，它将使董事会能够就新出现的兴趣主题举办两次“夏季研究”研讨会。该奖项还支持 Christine Mirzayan 科学与技术政策研究生奖学金，为早期职业科学家提供为期 10-12 周的教育和培训机会。 Mirzayan 研究员支持一系列董事会活动，包括 BASC 研究的背景研究以及帮助组织董事会会议。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
