Abstract | The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Mission has been recommended in the National Research Council Earth Science Decadal Survey as a key component of the future climate observing system. NASA and NOAA share responsibility for CLARREO. The NOAA component involves the continuity of measurements of incident solar irradiance and Earth energy budget by flying the Total Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS) and Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) sensors that were removed from the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). The NASA portion involves the measurement of spectrally resolved thermal IR and reflected solar radiation at high absolute accuracy. Coupled with measurements from on-board Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) receivers, these measurements will provide a long- term benchmarking data record for the detection, projection, and attribution of changes in the climate system. In addition, the SI traceable radiances will provide a source of absolute calibration for a wide range of visible and infrared (IR) Earth observing sensors, greatly increasing their value for climate monitoring. CLARREO is identified as one of the four highest priority missions in the Decadal Survey. There is tremendous value in starting these key new climate measurements as soon as possible. NASA is implementing a systematic approach to resolving the remaining scientific and technological challenges for CLARREO. In particular, clear mission requirements that maximize the benefit for using these data to improve climate prediction are needed to ensure that NASA's performance objectives are met, future costs are contained, and delays are minimized This presentation will focus on on-going activities involved with the planning and implementation of the NASA portion of CLARREO. We will review the scientific objectives of CLARREO, possible mission configurations, and the potential impacts on climate science that the CLARREO data will provide. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
