THE NASA CARBON MONITORING SYSTEM EFFORT SEEKS TO APPLY SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING RESOURCES ALONG WITH OBSERVATIONAL AND MODELING CAPABILITIES TO IMPROVE MONITORING OF CARBON STOCKS AND FLUXES, PARTICULARLY AS THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MONITOR

DEVELOPMENT OF OBSERVATIONAL PRODUCTS AND COUPLED MODELS OF LAND-OCEAN-ATMOSPHERIC FLUXES IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WATERSHED AND GULF OF MEXICO IN SUPPORT OF CARBON MONITORING

THE UNCERTAINTIES IN COASTAL CARBON FLUXES ARE SUCH THAT THE NET UPTAKE OF CARBON IN THE COASTAL MARGINS REMAINS A POORLY CONSTRAINED TERM IN GLOBAL BUDGETS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL EMPLOY A COMBINATION OF MODELS AND REMOTELY-SENSED AND IN SITU OBSERVA

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL EMPLOY REMOTELY-SENSED AND IN SITU OBSERVATIONS TO BOTH INITIATE AND VALIDATE MODELS AND PROVIDE SUPPORTING OBSERVATIONS FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF MODEL PRODUCTS. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WOULD ADDRESS THE GOALS OF THE SOLICITATION T

THE GEOSTATIONARY COASTAL AIR POLLUTION EVENTS (GEO-CAPE) MISSION WILL PROVIDE HIGH SPECTRAL, SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL RESOLUTION IMAGERY IN COASTAL WATERS OF THE CONTINENTAL U.S. THIS UNPRECEDENTED CAPABILITY WILL PROVIDE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR MONITORING AND A
