STRIVE Societal Benefits

Improve weather and climate predictions: STRIVE would offer critical observations to connect science to action by informing next generation weather and climate models, thus enabling improved forecasts and effective decision-making strategies in response to a changing atmosphere

Observe and predict transport of pollutants and greenhouse gases: STRIVE’s limb observations would provide an essential link to enhance the value of nadir-viewing satellites for deriving tropospheric concentrations and surface emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases

Continue critical measurements of the ozone layer: Would fulfill NASA obligation to international treaties and assessments to observe the stratospheric ozone layer and ozone destroying molecules
