Science Systems and Analysis

Science Systems and Analysis provides science, engineering and data management support to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (CalTech), Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UCSD), UCSC, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Prince Williams Sound Science Institute, NASA, NOAA and other research institutions and government agencies in the field of earth science. Above is an illustration of the Raytheon design for the Integrated Ocean Observing System  performed under contract to NOAA which Raytheon Pasadena and Raytheon Aurora, both part of Raytheon's Intelligence and Information Systems business, collaborated on. Two major earth observing projects with JPL are: Tropospheric Emissions Spectrometer (TES) and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS).

Raytheon-Pasadena is responsible for the design, implementation, and operation of the Science Investigator Processing Systems (SIPS) for both instruments. We support data analysis, science software design, development, integration and testing. The TES and MLS missions are in their second year of measuring the Earth's greenhouse gases, pollution and aerosols in atmosphere. We also support the upcoming Orbiting Carbon Observatory.

Ocean science support, from model design and implementation, to data analysis and forecasting ocean events is another area of our expertise. The Regional Ocean Modeling team supporting JPL scientists has just completed participation in the very successful Monterey Bay summer modeling and measurement campaign MB06.
