- Description
- NASA/GSFC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for specialized scientific support services to the Earth Sciences Directorate in the areas of modeling, data assimilation, satellite data analysis, and climate and weather prediction. Specialized scientific support services required include the development of techniques for environmental modeling and data assimilation systems, particularly for the atmosphere, ocean, land surface, including atmospheric trace gases and ocean biology, and for coupled systems; development of the capability to assimilate new satellite data streams; assembly, processing and monitoring of conventional and satellite data streams input to assimilation; evaluation/validation of the modeling and assimilation systems, particularly using satellite data streams for that evaluation; the development of diagnostic tools for a variety of applications, including weather and climate prediction; software algorithm development and optimization for high end computers and implementation of advanced software of the Earth System Modeling Framework. Support services are also required in the areas of software engineering; the production of operational data products in support of NASA instrument teams and research analyses; computer system administration; visualization of model and assimilation analyses; web-based communication of scientific results; and documentation of systems. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror?s responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.
