CLARREO MISSION STATUS

The CLARREO mission is currently in extended Pre-Phase A. The mission and Science Definition teams are being funded by NASA to continue to advance the science of CLARREO, explore alternative implementation strategies, and reduce technical risk.

The mission architecture and instrument concepts that are documented on this site were reviewed in November 2010 and were assessed as meeting all science and technical requirements and complying with previous budget guidance. Although this mission concept  [PDF] has not been approved to proceed to Phase A, and there is no set launch date for CLARREO, the CLARREO team remains committed to building on this mature concept in order to identify cost-effective ways of achieving the important science objectives of this mission.


What is CLARREO?
The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission, led and developed by NASA and partner organizations,
will monitor the pulse of the Earth to better understand climate change.

CLARREO is a climate-focused mission that will become a key element of the climate observing system.

The foundation for CLARREO is the ability to produce highly accurate and trusted climate records. Measurements derived from CLARREO will be used to detect climate trends and to test, validate, and improve climate prediction models.

The CLARREO mission will provide accurate, credible, and tested climate records that lay the groundwork for informed decisions on mitigation and adaptation policies that address the effects of climate change on society.
