This federal contract award to Colorado State University, a public land-grant research university, was issued by the Shared Services Center on behalf of NASA. The $682,223.64 grant is for a project titled "Tackling Aerosol-Induced CO2 Uncertainties Through the Synergistic Use of MODIS and OCO-2 Observations." The objective is to explore the benefits of combining data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors to improve retrievals of atmospheric carbon dioxide and aerosols. This work aims to help ensure OCO-2 meets its mission requirements by better understanding and mitigating the effects of aerosols on carbon dioxide measurements. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The project team has expertise in aerosol, cloud, and trace gas remote sensing.
