The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit proposals for measurement, data analysis and theoretical studies in three research categories. It will solicit proposals pertinent to the interests of disciplinary research and analysis for the Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling and Analysis Program (ACMAP) that includes global and regional modeling activities and large-scale data analysis, especially model-driven analysis. It will also solicit proposals for the Solar Occultation Satellite Science Team (SOSST) that will replace what formerly were the SAGE II and SAGE III science teams. SOSST will focus on global and regional modeling and/or model-driven data analysis in the area of atmospheric chemistry and chemistry-climate interactions. And finally, it will solicit proposals for measurement participation in the validation of the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gases Experiment (SAGE) III satellite instrument.
The NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Research Opportunities Online ''Home Page'' at " http://research.hq.nasa.gov/ '' under ''Office of Earth Science (Code Y) ''. A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message.
For the SAGE III validation campaign portion of this NRA, proposals may be submitted at any time before April 30, 2002, 4:30 PM EDT. For the ACMAP and SOSST parts of this NRA, proposals may be submitted at any time before May 30, 2002, 4:30 PM.
