MiamiOH OARS on 12 Jun 17This program element follows on from the A.41 The Science of Terra and Aqua (NNH09ZDA001N-EOS) in Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES)-2009 and A.28 The Science of Terra and Aqua (NNH13ZDA001N-TERAQ) in ROSES-2013). The present solicitation provides an opportunity for scientists to undertake studies responsive to NASA, the Science Mission Directorate's science objectives (https://science.nasa.gov/about-us/science-strategy), and the NASA Earth Science Research objectives (https://science.nasa.gov/earth-science) and to provide answers to NASA's Earth Science Research questions ((https://science.nasa.gov/earth-science/big-questions) through the use of data and derived products from Terra and Aqua and their measurement sensors, as well as the Suomi NPP satellite and its measurement sensors. It represents a continuation of the research aspects of the EOS and Suomi NPP Instrument Teams for these satellites, and emphasizes opportunities for scientists to analyze and exploit EOS and Suomi NPP data. It also provides an opportunity to develop new products by combining multi-sensor and multi-platform data, or by developing innovative approaches to data retrievals. This program element offers investigators an opportunity to conduct integrative research using the data and products resulting from these satellites (Terra, Aqua, Suomi NPP). Additionally, this program element welcomes the opportunity to fuse multiple sensors and data streams, including Terra, Aqua, and Suomi NPP, to conduct interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary Earth System Science.
