Ice storms pose significant risks to infrastructure, transportation, forests, and the economy, with annual losses in the billions of dollars. The basic weather patterns that result in ice storms are well-understood, however there are questions about how well ice storms are represented in climate models and how ice storm risk may change in a future climate. This award is for a small workshop to be held at Purdue University that will bring together meteorological experts with risk experts from a number of industries to define the high priority research questions that the atmospheric science field should be addressing in the upcoming years. The workshop has direct societal relevance due to the long-term goal of improving forecasting and reducing ice storm risks.This award is for a two-day Ice Storm Risk Workshop to explore scientific questions and risk mitigation for freezing rain events. The meeting will take place on campus at Purdue University on October 11-12, 2021. The central objective of the workshop is to generate an interdisciplinary road map of critical research gaps in ice storm science and risk, with specific focus to: 1) define solutions for reducing ice storm risks under climate change; and 2) identify the underlying scientific knowledge gaps that must be filled to realize those solutions.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.

冰暴对基础设施、交通、森林和经济构成重大风险，每年造成数十亿美元的损失。 导致冰暴的基本天气模式已广为人知，但人们对冰暴在气候模型中的表现如何以及冰暴风险在未来气候中可能如何变化仍存在疑问。 该奖项是为在普渡大学举办的一个小型研讨会而设立的，该研讨会将汇集来自多个行业的气象专家和风险专家，以确定大气科学领域在未来几年应解决的高度优先的研究问题。 由于改善预报和减少冰暴风险的长期目标，该研讨会具有直接的社会相关性。该奖项是为为期两天的冰暴风险研讨会探索科学问题和冻雨事件风险缓解而颁发的。 会议将于 2021 年 10 月 11 日至 12 日在普渡大学校园举行。研讨会的中心目标是制定冰暴科学和风险关键研究差距的跨学科路线图，具体重点是：1) 定义减少气候变化下冰暴风险的解决方案； 2) 确定实现这些解决方案必须填补的潜在科学知识空白。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
