The TRACE-P Science Team is comprised of the Principal
Investigators, Mission Scientist, Deputy Mission Scientist, and
Mission Meteorologists, who were selected in response to NASA
Research Announcement NRA-00-OES-01. The GTE Program and Project
Managers are ex officio members. The Science Team is co-chaired
by the Mission Scientists or, in their absence, the Mission Meteorologists.
The Mission Meteorologists will also be responsible for meteorological
forecasting for the flight operations and for determining the origins
and forecasting destinations of the air masses encountered during
the flights. The Mission Scientists and Mission Meteorologists
have data analyses and reporting responsibilities.
The Science Team is responsible for: science systems
operation and performance; detailed flight mission design; identifying
systems support requirements; data analyses and reporting; defining
data handling, schedules, and protocol procedures (within NASA
guidelines); and data submission to the GTE Data Archive.
The Science Team will determine its own methods
and protocol for interactions among team members aboard each aircraft
to achieve overall mission objectives. The Science Team and the
GTE Project Office have developed detailed plans as outlined herein
to conduct the TRACE-P Expedition and meet the mission objectives
presented in Section
2.0. The Science Team has also established a data management
and data protocol plan (Section
6.0) that will promote the timely publication and dissemination
(Section 8.0) of
scientific results in accordance with data handling policies of
the NASA Tropospheric Chemistry Program. These policies generally
require that data from GTE experiments be made available to the
public after a brief period of exclusive use by Science Teams for
validation of the data. As indicated in the TRACE-P
NRA (00-OES-01), a period of six months has been established
for TRACE-P for this purpose.
