The overall objective of this fourth Earth Venture Suborbital (EVS-4) program element is to substantially advance Earth system science and NASA’s Earth science goals through science investigations involving sustained aircraft and/or other suborbital data acquisition campaigns. This overall objective can be met in several ways, including but not limited to: 

• Acquiring measurements that address weaknesses in current Earth system models, leading to improvement in modeling capabilities and accuracy, 
• Producing data sets that identify and characterize important phenomena and/or detecting and characterizing changes in the Earth system; and/or 
• Making measurements that contribute to the scientific goals of multiple Earth science focus areas and/or disciplinary programs.
