NASA Selects UC San Diego Teams for Climate-Focused Satellite Missions
NASA has chosen two teams led by scientists from the University of California, San Diego, for future satellite mission concept studies under its Earth System Explorers Program. The selected missions aim to enhance our understanding of Earth's response to climate change.
The chosen mission concepts will delve into various factors contributing to climate change. These include greenhouse gas concentrations, ozone layer dynamics, ocean surface currents, and changes in ice cover. The teams, led by UC San Diego scientists, will now conduct detailed studies to refine their proposals for future NASA satellite missions.
The Earth System Explorers Program, a key component of NASA's Earth science portfolio, focuses on satellite-based science missions to advance our understanding of the Earth system. It aims to provide crucial data for improving climate models and predicting future climate trends.
NASA's selection of the UC San Diego-led teams marks a significant step in advancing our knowledge of Earth's climate. The proposed satellite missions, focusing on critical climate factors, promise to yield valuable insights and contribute to more accurate climate projections.
