  IGF::OT::IGF OTHER FUNCTIONS THIS CONTRACT IS FOR (R&D) PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES (EXCEPT BIOTCHNOLOGY) AND IS FOR THE PURCHASE OF SUPPORT SERVICES FOR ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE THE NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (GSFC) CONDUCTS A COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM DIRECTED TOWARDS OBSERVING, MONITORING, CHARACTERIZING, MODELING, UNDERSTANDING, AND ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE OF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. THE RESEARCH PROGRAM IS AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE, DYNAMICS, AND RADIATIVE PROPERTIES OF CLOUDS, AEROSOLS, AND PRECIPITATION; UNDERSTANDING ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY, ESPECIALLY THE ROLE OF NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC TRACE SPECIES ON THE OZONE BALANCE IN THE STRATOSPHERE AND TROPOSPHERE; IMPROVING SHORT AND MEDIUM TERM NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION; UNDERSTANDING THE INFLUENCE OF SOLAR VARIABILITY ON THE EARTH'S CLIMATE; AND ADVANCING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE INCLUDING ITS INTERACTION WITH THE EARTH SURFACE. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY REQUIREMENTS FOR ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATIONS VIA SATELLITE MISSIONS AND SUB-ORBITAL INSTRUMENTATION. SCIENTISTS CONCEIVE, DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND IMPLEMENT OPTICAL, MICROWAVE, RADAR, AND LIDAR TECHNOLOGIES FOR REMOTE SENSING OF THE ATMOSPHERE. SCIENTISTS FURTHER CONDUCT FIELD MEASUREMENTS FOR SATELLITE SENSOR CALIBRATION AND DATA VALIDATION, AND CARRY OUT MODELING ACTIVITIES FOR ATMOSPHERIC RADIATIVE TRANSFER, CLIMATE, CLOUDS, AEROSOLS, CHEMISTRY AND TRANSPORT OF TRACE SPECIES, AND IN GENERAL THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEXT-GENERATION EARTH SYSTEM MODELS.

  THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONTRACT IS TO PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT TO GSFC'S GLOBAL MODELING AND ASSIMILATION OFFICE (GMAO), A KEY ACTIVITY WITHIN THE EARTH SCIENCES DIVISION. THE GMAO DEVELOPS AND USES COMPREHENSIVE MODELS AND ASSIMILATION SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT NASA S EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH ENTERPRISE AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATION S CAPABILITIES IN CLIMATE, WEATHER AND ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION PREDICTION. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SUPPORT PROJECTS WITHIN THE GMAO THAT ENCOMPASS ALL ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ASSIMILATION AND FORECAST SYSTEMS, SPECIFICALLY IN THREE AREAS: SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT, DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY RESOURCES INCLUDING PERSONNEL, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, AND MATERIALS, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES LOCAL ANALYSIS AND DATA SERVERS AND PERIPHERALS TO BE SHARED BY THE GMAO TEAM, COMPRISING CIVIL SERVANTS, VISITING SCIENTISTS AND CONTRACTOR STAFF. THE HIGH-END COMPUTING RESOURCES NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS OF THE GMAO ARE PROVIDED THROUGH THE NASA CENTER FOR CLIMATE SIMULATION AT GODDARD AND THROUGH THE NASA ADVANCED SUPERCOMPUTING (NAS) DIVISION AT NASA/AMES RESEARCH CENTER.

• NNG11HP11C$3.5M

  THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR THE CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION OFFICE (CVO) TO PROVIDE ANALYSES OF HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (HPLC) ALGAL PIGMENT SAMPLES COLLECTED BY NASA PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS (PIS) SUPPORTED BY THE OCEAN BIOLOGY AND BIOGEOCHEMISTRY (OBB) PROGRAM. THE PIGMENT PRODUCTS COVER A SUITE OF CHLOROPHYLLS AND CAROTENOIDS USEFUL TO OCEAN COLOR RESEARCH, IN PARTICULAR THE VALIDATION OF DATA PRODUCTS FROM THE SEA-VIEWING WIDE FIELD-OF-VIEW SENSOR (SEAWIFS) AND THE MODERATE RESOLUTION IMAGING SPECTRORADIOMETER (MODIS). HPLC PIGMENT ANALYSIS IS A COMPLICATED PROCEDURE REQUIRING EXPERT ANALYSIS AND SUBSTANTIAL COSTS FOR PURCHASING, MAINTAINING, AND CALIBRATING THE EQUIPMENT. A CENTRALIZED LABORATORY IS A COST-EFFECTIVE MECHANISM FOR PROVIDING CONSISTENTLY HIGH-QUALITY DATA TO MULTIPLE PIS AND DATABASES, BUT ONLY IF THE FACILITY VIGILANTLY PURSUES EXCELLENCE, MAINTAINS RIGOROUS QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL (QA AND QC) PROCEDURES AS PART OF A DOCUMENTED QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN (QAP), ADHERES TO STATED PERFORMANCE METRICS TO MINIMIZE UNCERTAINTIES, AND IS EVALUATED INDEPENDENTLY (TO DETECT BIASES AND PROBLEMS). THE LATTER INCLUDES THE INTERNATIONAL SEAWIFS HPLC ANALYSIS ROUND-ROBIN EXPERIMENT (SEAHARRE), AND ANNUAL INTERCOMPARISONS OF DUPLICATE SAMPLES WITH OTHER QA LABORATORIES, INCLUDING THE PRIMARY MANUFACTURER OF STANDARDS. AN ALGAL CULTURE FACILITY WILL BE ESTABLISHED TO: A) ISOLATE STANDARDS COMMERCIALLY UNAVAILABLE OR NEEDED IN LARGE QUANTITIES, AND B) COLLECT WHOLE FILTERS TO ASSIST IN METHOD DEVELOPMENT, VALIDATION, AND QAP PROCEDURES. ALL DATA PRODUCTS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED WITH LIMIT OF DETECTION AND QUANTITATION (LOD AND LOQ, RESPECTIVELY) ANALYSES, AS WELL AS UNCERTAINTY ESTIMATES. RESEARCH ON NEW METHODS TO IMPROVE PIGMENT IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTITATION WITH THE CURRENT CVO APPROACH BASED ON THE VAN HEUKELEM AND THOMAS (2001) METHOD (VHT) WILL OCCUR IN PARALLEL WITH PRODUCTION ANALYSES. CHANGES IN THE PROCEDURES USED IN PIGMENT OCEANOGRAPHY ARE EXPECTED, ALONG WITH IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PROTOCOLS SUPPORTING NEXT-GENERATION SATELLITE ALGORITHMS, WHICH REQUIRE ADVANCED ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES AND IMPROVED PIGMENT DETECTION. ELEVATED UNCERTAINTIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH FALSE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES, PLUS POOR RESOLUTION BETWEEN COELUTING PAIRS. RAPID RESOLUTION LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (RRLC) THE NEXT GENERATION IN LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (LC) WILL BE USED TO IMPROVE THE SEPARATION OF PIGMENTS, AND DEVELOP FASTER METHODS (WHICH PROVIDES MORE ANALYST TIME FOR ALTERNATIVE DETECTION TECHNIQUES). METHOD SPECIFICA-TIONS SUCH AS THE LINEAR GRADIENT,LAG TIME, FLOW RATE, AND COLUMN TEMPERATURE WILL BE MODIFIED BASED ON DRYLAB SIMULATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY. THE DETECTION AND ANALYSIS OF PIGMENTS DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH BECAUSE OF SIMILARITY IN THEIR SPECTRAL ABSORPTION PROPERTIES WILL BE IMPROVED THROUGH THE USE OF LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY COUPLED TO MASS SPECTROMETRY DETECTION (LC-MS). THE CHEMICAL TAXONOMY (CHEMTAX) PROGRAM WILL BE USED TO EVALUATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PIGMENT DATA QUALITY ON CHEMTAX OUTPUT BY COMPARING THE OUTPUT MATRIX OF EXISTING SEAHARRE QA DATA WITH DATA FROM METHODS NOT VALIDATED WITH A PROPER QA CAPABILITY (NV).
