Amendment 66: A.6 Carbon Monitoring System Final Text and Due Dates

The NASA Carbon Monitoring System is a forward-looking initiative designed to make significant contributions to characterizing, quantifying, understanding, and predicting the evolution of global carbon sources, sinks, and fluxes through improved monitoring of terrestrial and aquatic carbon stocks and fluxes.

A.6 Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) solicits proposals to advance products toward the CMS end goal: development of prototype carbon monitoring systems from an Earth’s system perspective. Areas of interest include terrestrial, atmospheric, and aquatic realms. Proposal emphasis must be directed toward continued development of the established CMS pilot studies (see https://carbon.nasa.gov), synergistic advancements from past CMS activities, as well as acquisition, quantification, and development of prototype CMS system capabilities that can improve existing and develop new data products toward achieving the levels of precision and accuracy required by current carbon trading activities (e.g., certification of emissions reductions). Successful applicants will also become NASA CMS Science Team members.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 66 releases final text and due dates for A.6 CMS. Notices of Intent are requested by January 4, 2024, and proposals are due by March 5, 2024.
