Description
Igf::ot::igf Other Functions This Contract Is for (R&D) Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (Except Biotchnology) and Is for the Purchase of Support Services for Atmospheric Science the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Conducts a Comprehensive Research and Technology Development Program Directed Towards Observing, Monitoring, Characterizing, Modeling, Understanding, and Advancing Knowledge of the Earth's Atmosphere. The Research Program Is Aimed at Understanding the Structure, Dynamics, and Radiative Properties of Clouds, Aerosols, and Precipitation; Understanding Atmospheric Chemistry, Especially the Role of Natural and Anthropogenic Trace Species on the Ozone Balance in the Stratosphere and Troposphere; Improving Short and Medium Term Numerical Weather Prediction; Understanding the Influence of Solar Variability on the Earth's Climate; and Advancing Our Understanding of the Physical Properties of the Earth's Atmosphere Including Its Interaction with the Earth Surface. Scientists Identify Requirements for Atmospheric Observations Via Satellite Missions and Sub-Orbital Instrumentation. Scientists Conceive, Design, Develop, and Implement Optical, Microwave, Radar, and Lidar Technologies for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere. Scientists Further Conduct Field Measurements for Satellite Sensor Calibration and Data Validation, and Carry Out Modeling Activities for Atmospheric Radiative Transfer, Climate, Clouds, Aerosols, Chemistry and Transport of Trace Species, and in General the Development of Next-Generation Earth System Models.
