- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit research proposals to conduct scientific investigations in Precipitation Measurement Missions consistent with the science goals of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE). This research announcement will focus primarily on scientific investigations related to current satellite observations of precipitation using measurements from, but not limited to, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), launched in November 1997. The current TRMM science research program consists of a broad range of investigations covering modeling and analysis, algorithm improvements, validation, applications, and outreach efforts, primarily associated with TRMM and other precipitation-related missions and instruments. For information on TRMM see http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov. A secondary focus of this announcement is research related to future precipitation missions, such as the next generation constellation-based Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission, now in its formulation phase. For information on GPM see http://gpmscience.gsfc.nasa.gov. This opportunity, which follows earlier TRMM research announcements in 1993, 1996, and 1999, is intended to support precipitation mission-related investigations for a 3-year period. Participation in this program is open to all categories of domestic and foreign organizations, including educational institutions, industry, non-profit institutions, NASA centers, and other U.S. agencies. In accordance with NASA policy, all investigations by foreign participants will be conducted without any exchange of funds. The complete NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Research Opportunities Web Page at http://research.nasa.gov under "Office of Earth Science (Code Y)". A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message. This announcement will be open through December 12, 2002, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout this period.
