CHARGE LETTER for SCC (Formerly the SAG)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 October 2018<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Rob<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2017\u00a0NASA\u00a0Decadal\u00a0Survey\u00a0(DS) highlighted Earth System Science themes, science and application questions, and several high priority objectives that have led to the inclusion of Aerosol (A) and Clouds,\u00a0Convection, and\u00a0Precipitation (CCP) as\u00a0Designated Observables<\/em>.\u00a0In response to NASA\u2019s\u00a0Designated Observables Guidance for Multi-Center Study Plans<\/em>\u00a0solicitation\u00a0released\u00a0on June 1, 2018, GSFC,\u00a0LaRC, JPL, MSFC, GRC\u00a0and ARC submitted a\u00a0Draft Study Plan<\/em>\u00a0to the NASA Earth Science Division\u00a0(ESD)\u00a0for the A and CCP\u00a0Pre-formulation Study (named A-CCP).\u00a0The primary connection of the A-CCP study to the wider science and applications communities is realized through\u00a0a\u00a0Science Community Cohort (SCC)<\/strong>. The SCC is an external group consisting of national and international leading scientists and application practitioners\u00a0in the field of Aerosols and Clouds, Convection, and\u00a0Precipitation. US SCC participants consist of members of the academic community and other government agencies. International participants include representatives of potential partner space-related agencies and members of the science\/applications community at large. By design, the SCC does not include members from NASA centers (including JPL). The SCC will be headed by two co-chairs: one for\u00a0A (Greg Carmichael) and another for\u00a0CCP (Sue van den Heever) .\u00a0The roles of the SCC are:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

i. To provide general advice on all matters relating to the science directions of the A-CCP study.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii. To provide critical reviews of the science outputs of the study to strengthen the overall A-CCP Study.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

iii. To provide an important function communicating the aspirations of A-CCP to the wider science and applications communities.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

iv. To assist in building partnerships between international science communities and the US A-CCP community and be engaged with the A-CCP science and applications leadership team in seeking potential international contributions to the A-CCP mission architecture.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given your expertise and standing in the science community we would like to invite you to participate in the A-CCP Study as a member of our SCC. NASA will provide\u00a0support\u00a0for a limited amount of travel (one or two meetings a year).\u00a0Attached, please find\u00a0the Executive Summary of the study plan\u00a0in order to\u00a0provide more information on the expected A-CCP activities. A\u00a0member of A-CCP Science and Applications Leadership Team (me) will follow up shortly with a telephone call perhaps next week but if not then in late October.\u00a0We\u00a0look forward to speaking with you soon and hope you see this as a genuine opportunity to progress the science.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graeme (Representing the A-CCP Science and Applications Leadership Team: S. Braun, A. da Silva, R. Farrare, E. Jensen, A. Omar, W. Petersen, G. Stephens, D. Waliser, D. Winker, B. Zavodsky) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
