STRIVE

Filling a Critical Atmospheric Data Gap

NASA's STRIVE (Stratosphere Troposphere Response using Infrared Vertically-resolved light Explorer) mission is designed to fill a critical data gap rather than merely replacing existing observations. The mission opens a brand-new window into the complex and vital interactions taking place between the stratosphere and troposphere layers.

Infrared Measurements and Enhanced Forecasting

By utilizing infrared vertically-resolved light measurements, STRIVE will deliver the precise missing data required for smarter predictive calculations. These high-resolution observations will directly feed into and advance the next generation of weather, climate, and air-quality forecasting models.

Impact on Long-Term Climate and Weather Models

The valuable observations provided by the STRIVE mission will help extend predictive capabilities from days into much longer timeframes. Gaining a clearer understanding of upper atmospheric dynamics will ultimately improve the reliability of global climate projections and environmental monitoring systems.
