Tasks: Develop a RTA for MODIS thermal channels that have spectral coverage overlapping AIRS spectral coverage. The RTA must be compatible with the methodology and spectroscopy developed for the AIRS RTA. Deliverables shall be to provide code and coefficients for a preliminary MODIS rapid transmittance algorithm (RTA) for 16 MODIS thermal channels. Offerors certain they can meet the requirement are requested to submit in writing an affirmative response and technical capabilities. All written responses must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating their ability to meet the above requirement.
