This Statement of Work (SOW) details the work to be performed by the Geostationary Littoral Imaging and Monitory Radiometer (GLIMR) Access to Space (ATS) Contractor (Contractor) and its team members for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Life Cycle Implementation Phases D through F.

GLIMR is a hyperspectral ocean color sensor which targets the Gulf of America and other coastal and ocean waters of North and South America. With its vantage point from geostationary orbit, GLIMR will be the first hyperspectral ocean color sensor in the Western Hemisphere to study ocean processes at the diurnal timescales required to observe the dynamic ecological, biogeochemical, and physical processes typical of coastal and ocean waters. GLIMR is uniquely designed to capture the spatiotemporal evolution of phytoplankton blooms, which grow and dissipate on scales of hours to days, monitor phytoplankton physiology, growth rates and shifts in community composition, resolve coastal features, fronts, eddies, and upwelling features, and monitor biogeochemical fluxes and land-ocean exchanges at sub-diurnal to multi-day scales. GLIMR will improve quantification of primary productivity, biomass, and carbon fluxes within coastal aquatic ecosystems and across the land-sea interface and contribute observations that will aid development and evaluation of models that project future changes in carbon cycling and marine ecosystems for use in ecological forecasting and as inputs for improved climate change predictions. The two main science goals of GLIMR are (1) to understand the processes contributing to rapid changes in phytoplankton growth rate and community composition, and (2) quantify how high frequency fluxes of sediments, organic matter, and other materials between and within coastal ecosystems regulate the productivity and health of coastal ecosystems. The science application objectives aim to study the formation, magnitude, and trajectories of harmful algal blooms, oil spills, and Sargassum accumulation events.
