To inform NASA's future investments in airborne platforms, this study examines whether a large aircraft that would replace the current NASA DC-8 is needed to address Earth system science questions, and the role of other airborne platforms for achieving future Earth system science research goals.MeteorologySpace sciencesScienceDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Space Studies Board,Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate,Committee on Future Use of NASA Airborne Platforms to Advance Earth Science Priorities,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819877003321Airborne Platforms to Advance NASA Earth System Science Priorities3970931UNINA
