Amendment 67: A.22 NASA Energy and Water Cycle Study Final Text and Due Dates Released.

A.22 NASA Energy and Water Cycle Study (NEWS) solicits proposals to leverage the Integrated Analysis (NEWS-IA) dataset and ongoing development work to better quantify and characterize changes to Earth’s water and energy cycles. For more about NEWS-IA see https://earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/hydro/data/news-water-and-energy-cycle-climatology

Proposers are required to adopt one or more of the following project objectives:

  1. Improve the methodology used by NEWS-IA and demonstrate reduced uncertainty of the water and energy cycle components
  2. Improve the applicability of NEWS-IA to Earth System Model evaluation and refinement
  3. Quantify the abrupt or time-averaged effect of anthropogenic activities (i.e. urban, agricultural) on NEWS-IA estimates of the coupled global water and energy cycle

Projects are encouraged to develop and use new methods, tools and/or data sets not currently employed by the NEWS-IA team. These may lead to either improved individual components of the methods, or provide improved overall constraint. In particular, projects are encouraged to use observations of components of the global carbon cycle (e.g. Solar-Induced Fluorescence) to further hone in on understanding water and energy cycle processes and how they may be changing.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 67 releases final text and due dates for A.22 NEWS. Notices of intent are requested by January 9, 2025, and proposals are due February 20, 2025.

On or about November 14, 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024

Questions concerning A.22 NEWS may be directed to Jared Entin at jared.k.entin@nasa.gov.

In this illustration, an exploding star powers jets of material. The star is shown as an almost flower-like shape. The purple �petals� represent clouds of material created in the explosion. The bluish-white and yellow center shows where the newly formed black hole begins driving the jets. The core of the jet pointed toward us is whitish and the broader regions are magenta. In the distance, on the far side of the star, you can see the opposite side of the jet disappearing into space.

In the center is a large, oval-shaped galaxy, with a shining, ringed core. Left of its center is a second, smaller galaxy with two spiral arms. The galaxy pair is so close that they appear to be merging: a tail of material with a few glowing spots connects from one of the smaller galaxy’s spiral arms to the larger galaxy. A faint halo surrounds both galaxies. Several stars are visible around the pair.
