- Description
- JOFOC for the subject requirement. Understanding and monitoring of Arctic climate requires long-term continuous records of specialized types of environmental information that augment regular weather observations. The Tiksi Hydrometeorological Observatory (HMO) has been identified as a key Arctic climate observing location in the Russian Arctic. Comparison of measurements between the NOAA Baseline Observatory in Barrow, Alaska and the Tiksi HMO will enhance understanding of fundamental Arctic processes and resulting impacts on weather, shipping, human health, and commerce. The objective of this requirement is to transmit data from Tiksi, Russia that provides information on greenhouse gases, atmospheric and surface radiation, black carbon, pollutants, winds, temperatures, humidity, and atmosphere-surface exchanges in the near-surface boundary layer, clouds, climate-grade meteorological measurements, and atmospheric aerosol properties. The contractor shall deliver data from atmospheric and related climate data streams from instruments at the Tiksi Observatory to the Earth Systems Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. Data will be delivered from contractor systems free of malware and encrypted in transit to a specified ESRL NOAA server (specific information to be provided with contract award) that allows transfers only from specified IP addresses into an account designed for secure data ingest only. Data will be delivered with legal permissions for export of data from the Russian Federation as required by Russian law. Proof of legal export will be provided.
