This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc., a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, Inc. The $224,743 grant funds a project to extend regional modeling for NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) in order to estimate North American carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes through mid-2018. The work leverages new datasets, including the first few years of data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite, to improve uncertainty quantification in CO2 flux estimates. The project also aims to investigate modeling errors using independent data and activities from NASA's Atmospheric Carbon and Transport America (ACT-America) program, and to prepare for the upcoming Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory (GeoCarb) mission. This research contract does not have a set-aside designation and focuses on advancing NASA's capabilities in monitoring the global carbon cycle using a combination of in-situ, airborne, and satellite measurements.
