Objectives and Applications
|
1 year nominal mission. The goal of the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission is to improve our understanding of climate change by providing high accuracy measurements of the change in key climate variables over decadal timescales. CLARREO Pathfinder is a technical demonstration on the ISS and a major step in reducing the cost and technical risk for these high accuracy measurements.
