human-Earth system modeling framework (the Global Change Assessment Model) and
data assimilation to quantify how the NASA data (both remote sensing and
in-situ data) would help reduce the uncertainties of estimated Arctic
land-atmosphere carbon and energy exchanges, and how such improvements would
further inform climate change mitigation strategies.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 5pt 0in 0in;text-align:justify;vertical-align:top;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="text-indent:0in;font-family:Wingdings;color:rgb(33,33,33)">§<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
