October 6, 2009
NAME OF ATM CHANGES TO AGS ON OCTOBER 1, 2009: Effective October 1 the Division of Atmospheric Sciences (ATM) became the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) to more accurately reflect the range of sciences activities supported by the Division.  As of that date, proposers should look for AGS rather than ATM in designating where proposals are being directed for both normal proposals and various special solicitations for cross divisional and cross directorate emphasis areas.
