About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,023,115 grant to Science & Technology Corporation (STC), a scientific and engineering research and services company, to continue refining and improving a method to construct infrared spectral band radiances at imager spatial resolution. The work will leverage data from the Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instruments to create new spectral band radiances for use in applications and data assimilation. The grant requires estimating uncertainties by comparing the constructed radiances to Aqua MODIS measurements. STC has received multiple other federal grants and contracts from NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide scientific, engineering, and technical services. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle.
Description
Continue to refine and improve an innovative and practical method to construct IR spectral band radiances at imager spatial resolution, based on the use of the aqua modis spectral response functions, using cris and viirs data; provide the radiances of these spectral bands in the form of appended bands to the viirs level 1B data at the atmosphere sips; create new spectral band radiances for selected wavelength ranges, such as in the 6.7- m water vapor band, that exclude strong lines of absorption by trace gases for potential use in both applications and data assimilation; and estimate uncertainties using similarly constructed spectral band radiances based on modis+airs data in comparison with measured radiances from aqua modis; and work with other groups funded by NASA interested in improving the constructed IR radiances and their applications, as well as assessing associated uncertainties.
