E-MAIL: Ramesh Kakar, Ramesh.Kakar@hq.nasa.gov. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announces the solicitation of research proposals to conduct scientific investigations in connection with Convection and Moisture Experiments (CAMEX) consistent with the science goals of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. The primary focus of this NRA is to seek research proposals related to the next convection and moisture experiment in the CAMEX series i.e. CAMEX-4. The CAMEX-4 field campaign will be conducted during the months of August and September 2001. Sensor validation experiments that are synergistic with CAMEX and are related to NASA Earth Science satellite missions can also be proposed. This experiment will be designed to gather evidence to help in finding answers to the following three targeted questions: (1) is the global cycle through the atmosphere accelerating? (2) how are variations in local weather, precipitation and water resources related to global climate change? and (3) to what extent can weather forecasting be improved by new global observations and advances in satellite data assimilation? Participation in this program is open to all categories of domestic and foreign organizations, including educational institutions, industry, non-profit institutions, NASA centers, and other U.S. agencies. In accordance with NASA policy, all investigations by foreign participants will be conducted without any exchange of funds. The interested reader may find more information regarding the earlier CAMEX-3 field campaign at http://ghrc.msfc.nasa.gov/camex3 . The NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Earth Science Enterprise ''Home Page'' at '' http://www.earth.nasa.gov '' under ''Research Opportunities''. A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message. This announcement will be open for the period from August 15, 2000 through October 16, 2000, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout that period. Posted 08/07/00 (D-SN483098). (0220)
