E-MAIL: Dr. Jake A. Kaye, Jake.Kaye@hq.nasa.gov. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit research proposals for science investigations to be initiated for the US component of the international science team for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) which is to fly aboard the CHEM mission of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) currently scheduled for launch in late 2002. Two categories of proposals may be submitted under this announcement: US team leader (TL) or team member (TM). OMI is an ultraviolet-visible nadir viewing instrument designed to make measurements of distributions of ozone and other trace constituents in the Earth's atmosphere. It will be provided to NASA by the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs. All US activities in support of OMI will be coordinated through the OMI Science Advisory Board and, in particular, with the OMI principal investigator. The investigators comprising the US component of the OMI science team will be responsible for all OMI-related work carried out in the US, including the development of algorithms, processing of data, and validation of data from OMI, as well as the development of combined data products using data from OMI and other sensors planned for flight aboard EOS CHEM. The US Team Leader will have the responsibility to coordinate the US members of the OMI Science Team, and to ensure that algorithms developed by the US Team Members are coordinated and implemented in an optimal way, and that data products are produced and archived consistent with appropriate guidelines for the EOS project. This solicitation is open to all categories of organizations, foreign and domestic. A copy of this solicitation will be available over the Internet via the Office of Earth Science Home Page at http://www.earth.nasa.gov under MTPE Research Announcements. Paper copies of the NRA will be available to those who do not have access to the Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message, including full name and address, including zip code, and telephone number, including area code. This announcement will be open for the period from September 29, 1999 through December 9, 1999 and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout that period. Letters of intent are requested but not required; such letters should be submitted by October 22, 1999. POC: Dr. Jack A.
