NPP and Science Data Continuity The United States plans to continue many long-term environmental data sets through the National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). These Earth system data records (ESDRs) and climate data records (CDRs) are required for quantitative understanding of the Earth system and for ascertaining the magnitude of any natural or human-induced changes to that system. It is imperative that the different satellite sensors used to create a long time series data set be well-characterized, stable, and inter-calibrated. It is equally imperative that the data products created over time be accurate and consistent, with known precision and well-quantified uncertainties. The emphasis for NASA s participation in NPP is on securing continuous, well-characterized, long-time-series measurements of sufficient quality to answer critical Earth system science, global change, and/or applied sciences questions. 2
NPP Science Team Re-Competition NASA anticipates including an NPP Science Team program element in ROSES 2010 The planned emphasis will be on securing long time series measurements of sufficient quality for climate science Continued evaluation of EDRs and work on needed improvements to them is likely to be a major focus for solicited activities The due date will follow that of the Science of Terra and Aqua program element in ROSES 2009, but not by too much Both program elements are likely to contain guidance on cross- referencing proposals submitted to the other program element Details cannot be provided prior to the release of ROSES 2010, now planned for February 12, 2010 3
