The A.17 Hydrosphere element of NASA’s ROSES-2025 program is focused on advancing the understanding of Earth’s water in its various forms—across the ocean, land, and atmosphere. Key areas of investigation include ocean physics, terrestrial hydrology, and precipitation science, aiming to explore the distribution, movement, and transformation of water.
Key Highlights:
- Research Focus: Measurements of ocean salinity, snow depth, and commercial satellite data on precipitation.
- Data Utilization: The program supports initiatives like the Fate of River Export and Surface Hydrology campaign, the NISAR mission, and NASA’s Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition program.
- Proposal Timeline:
- Step-1 Proposals: Due by October 8, 2026
