Description
The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory Mission (CLARREO) is aclimate-focused mission. The foundation for CLARREO is its ability to produce accurateclimate records through the use of exacting on-board traceability of the instrumentaccuracy to international measurement standards. Current satellite-based sensors are not designed to meet the accuracy requirementsnecessary for climate measurements. Many sensors used for climate measurements weredesigned to meet operational weather needs and were not specifically designed to meet thedemanding calibration accuracies required for climate measurement. The CLARREO missionis intended to meet climate needs through careful consideration of the instrument design,calibration traceability at all stages of development, calibration and verificationtraceability on-orbit, and spectral, spatial, and temporal sampling focused specificallyon the creation of accurate, long-term climate data records. The following web site willprovide additional background information on CLARREO: http://clarreo.larc.nasa.gov/.CLARREOs instrument suite is planned to include one or more spectrometers that willconduct measurements in the infrared spectrum.Infrared measurement requirements areprovided in Section 4.0 for reference.Due to CLARREOs stringent requirements onmeasurement accuracy, calibration, and traceability, NASA is forming an IntegratedProduct Team (IPT) to ensure that the requisite expertise and capabilities fromGovernment, industry and academia are available to contribute to the systems engineering,design, analysis, development and characterization of the instrument systems andcomponents used by CLARREO to conduct the infrared measurements.Awarded contracts will provide support for a CLARREO Integrated Product Team (IPT) toprovide instrument systems expertise and capabilities for conducting measurements in theinfrared spectrum.
