- Description
- RFQ with sole source justification The scattering by ice crystals at visible and infrared wavelengths is highly uncertain. The computation of the scattering propertied of ice crystals requires vast computational resources and highly complex codes. Texas A&M is one of the only known institutes conducting this research. The deliverables will include an optimal ice cloud optical/radiative property model, including data sets for the relevant ice particle habit and single-scattering properties (namely, the phase function, single-scattering albedo, and extinction efficiency). These results will be included in future versions of the NOAA/NESDIS algorithms. Texas A&M will provide scientific support and access to their ice scattering model output. Texas A&M provides unique expertise in this area. They will assist NOAA is properly using the results of their model in order to improve the NOAA/NESDIS remote sensing ice cloud algorithms.
