The Workshop on the proposed Network of Mountain Observatories for Composition of the Atmosphere (MOCA) will bring together atmospheric scientists to develop a long-term plan for coordinating research efforts at multiple high-elevation sites within the continental U.S. Atmospheric measurements at high altitudes are sparse, and continuous sampling at mountain research observatories provides access to critical information about long-term changes in regional background atmospheric composition, as well as seasonal and diurnal processes and extreme episodes (e.g. wildfires, radionuclide releases, volcanic ash, dust storms, and stratospheric intrusions). The proposed network spans across different climatic zones and ecosystems in the U.S. and includes four internationally recognized atmospheric research observatories, which have been in operation for decades and are well-positioned to observe both atmospheric flow to the continental U.S. from the west and atmospheric flow to the east. Specific goals of the workshop will be to: (1) further develop and refine the research objectives within each of the proposed science themes (reactive trace gases, greenhouse gases, aerosols and radiation, and clouds and precipitation); (2) identify critical measurements needed to meet these research objectives; (3) identify strategies to leverage measurements within different science themes to address additional research objectives or to better address existing research objectives; (4) identify research objectives that would especially benefit from a common set of measurements across sites; (5) develop metrics to prioritize research objectives; (6) evaluate the measurement infrastructure and data management needs for each site to be incorporated into the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) network as a global station; (7) encourage critical discussion about how best to implement and manage such a broad range of research objectives across multiple sites, including a data management plan; (8) develop a timeline for each research objective, following initial instrument integration at each site; (9) identify opportunities for meaningful and productive collaboration with other agencies and local/regional stakeholders; and (10) identify strategies for sustaining long-term, well-calibrated measurements at each site. Conclusions from the workshop will be disseminated through a workshop summary publication.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.

在拟议的山间观测网络上进行大气组成（MOCA）的研讨会将汇集大气科学家制定长期计划，以在美国大陆高海拔地区的美国大陆大陆测量中进行多个高海拔地区的多个高海拔地区的研究工作，并且在山区研究中的稳定性范围内的氛围是稀疏的，并且在山上的稳定性范围内均可访问，并在山上进行了不断变化的范围。过程和极端发作（例如野火，放射性核素释放，火山灰，沙尘暴和平流层侵入）。拟议的网络跨越了美国的不同气候区和生态系统，其中包括四个国际公认的大气研究观测站，这些观测值已经运行了数十年，并且有充分的位置，可以观察到从西部大陆流向美国大陆的大气流和向东的大气流。研讨会的具体目标将是：（1）进一步发展和完善每个拟议的科学主题（反应性痕量气体，温室气体，气溶胶和辐射，以及云和降水）内的研究目标； （2）确定满足这些研究目标所需的关键测量； （3）确定利用不同科学主题中测量的策略，以解决其他研究目标或更好地解决现有的研究目标； （4）确定研究目标，这些目标尤其会受益于跨站点的一套共同测量； （5）制定指标以优先考虑研究目标； （6）评估每个站点的测量基础架构和数据管理需求，并将其纳入全球大气手表（GAW）网络中； （7）鼓励有关如何最好地讨论如何最好地实施和管理跨多个站点的广泛研究目标，包括数据管理计划； （8）在每个站点的初始仪器集成之后，为每个研究目标开发一个时间表； （9）确定与其他机构和地方/地区利益相关者的有意义和富有成效合作的机会； （10）确定在每个站点维持长期，良好校准测量的策略。研讨会的结论将通过研讨会的摘要出版物进行传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
