Community Announcements/Request for Information
Soliciting applications and nominations for members of the Science Utilization Team for the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III instrument on the International Space Station (NNH12ZDA007L).
The primary objective of SAGE III on ISS is to monitor the vertical distribution of aerosols, ozone, and other trace gases in the Earth’s stratosphere and troposphere to enhance our understanding of ozone recovery and climate change processes in the stratosphere and upper troposphere. For more information about SAGE III on ISS see http://www-sage3oniss.larc.nasa.gov/ and "Earth Science and Applications from SAGE3/ISS: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond", available at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11820).
The members of the SAGE3/ISS SUT will focus primarily on assessing the scientific and data usage approaches critical to achieving the goals of the SAGE3/ISS mission as outlined in NASA's Climate Initiative. For more information see the full text of the call at http://tinyurl.com/7cqf9u9. To respond to the call send a Letter of Application to the POC below no later than March 9, 2012. In the letter, the applicant should provide evidence of expertise and knowledge in areas highly relevant to the SAGE3/ISS primary scientific goals and related technology.
