Funding-NASA -- ROSES 2012: Development and Testing of Potential
Indicators For The National Climate Assessment;
October 5, 2012
Agency
NASA
Description
NASA
is a major contributor to global climate and related environmental assessment
activities, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
Climate Assessments and the World Meteorological Organization/United Nations Environment
Programme (WMO/UNEP) Ozone Assessment Reports. NASA
has made a similarly significant contribution to the U.S. National Climate
Assessment (NCA), a central component of the 2012-2022 U.S. Global Change
Research Program’s Strategic Plan, and intends to continue supporting the NCA.
Indicators
are anticipated to be an important component of future NCAs. These indicators
are intended to provide a clear and concise way of communicating to the NCA
audiences about not only status and trends of physical drivers of the climate
system, but also the ecological and socioeconomic impacts, vulnerabilities, and
responses to those drivers. This ROSES element solicits contributions to
enhance NASA’s participation in future NCAs by encouraging the developing and testing
of potential indicators that address the needs expressed in the NCA vision for
a national system of indicators and that largely draw from NASA-produced data and/or modeling products. A web archive (and
RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA
will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/
