THIS IS THE CO-INVESTIGATOR PROPOSAL FOR EUSO-SPB2 SECOND GENERATION EXTREME UNIVERSE SPACE OBSERVATORY ON A SUPER-PRESSURE BALLOON BEING LED BY PI ANGELA V. OLINTO AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WE PROPOSE TO DESIGN BUILD DEPLOY AND PUBLISH THE SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF A SECOND GENERATION OF THE EXTREME UNIVERSE SPACE OBSERVATORY (EUSO) TO BE FLOWN ABOARD A SUPER-PRESSURE BALLOON (SBP). EUSO-SPB2 WILL MONITOR THE NIGHT SKY OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE TO STUDY COSMIC RAYS OF VERY HIGH TO ULTRAHIGH ENERGIES AND PIONEER THE SEARCH FOR COSMOGENIC TAU NEUTRINOS FROM SPACE. EUSO-SPB2 WILL BE THE FIRST INSTRUMENT TO OBSERVE CHERENKOV LIGHT FROM EXTENSIVE AIR-SHOWERS HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE. EUSOSPB2 WILL OBSERVE A LARGE SAMPLE OF COSMIC RAYS FROM 0.1 TO 1 EEV WITH THE CHERENKOV TECHNIQUE AND WILL DISCRIMINATE AMONG THE CHERENKOV PROFILES OF PRIMARY PROTONS HEAVY NUCLEI AND PHOTONS. IT WILL ALSO CHARACTERIZE THE BACKGROUND FOR UPWARD GOING SHOWERS INITIATED BY THE DECAY OF TAU LEPTONS WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRODUCED BY EARTH-SKIMMING TAU NEUTRINOS. A COINCIDENCE VETO WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR EUSO-SPB2 SO IT CAN CHARACTERIZE THE BACKGROUND FOR CHERENKOV SIGNALS FROM THE NEUTRINO PRODUCED TAU LEPTONS. EUSO-SPB2 WILL ALSO USE FLUORESCENCE OBSERVATIONS TO MEASURE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE EVOLUTION OF NEARLY HORIZONTAL HIGH ALTITUDE EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWERS WHICH DEVELOP AT THE NEARLY CONSTANT LOW-DENSITY ATMOSPHERE. SUCH MEASUREMENTS WILL PROVIDE A UNIQUE CHANNEL TO PROBE HADRONIC INTERACTION MODELS AT ULTRAHIGH ENERGIES AND MAY ELUCIDATE THE REASON WHY ULTRAHIGH-ENERGY COSMIC RAY (UHECR) SHOWERS OBSERVED BY GROUND-BASED DETECTORS CONTAIN MORE MUONS THAN EXPECTED FROM HADRONIC INTERACTION MODELS. EUSO-SPB2 IS A PATHFINDER FOR THE MORE AMBITIOUS SPACE-BASED MEASUREMENTS BY THE PROBE OF EXTREME MULTI-MESSENGER ASTROPHYSICS (POEMMA) CURRENTLY PROPOSED FOR A NASA DESIGN STUDY. POEMMA WILL COMBINE THE WELL-DEVELOPED ORBITING WIDEFIELD LIGHT-COLLECTORS (OWL) CONCEPT WITH THE RECENTLY PROPOSED CHERENKOV FROM ASTROPHYSICAL NEUTRINOS TELESCOPE (CHANT) CONCEPT TO FORM A MULTI-MESSENGER PROBE OF THE MOST EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS IN THE UNIVERSE. EUSO-SPB2 WILL INFORM THE BEST STRATEGY FOR FUTURE SPACE MISSIONS SUCH AS POEMMA. EUSO-SPB2 WILL BUILD UPON THE EXPERIENCE OF FLYING EUSO-SPB1 IN THE SPRING OF 2017. A NUMBER OF UPGRADES WILL RENDER EUSO-SPB2 MORE POWERFUL INCLUDING A SCHMIDT DESIGN TELESCOPE AND A FASTER ULTRAVIOLET (UV) CAMERA TO INCREASE EXPOSURE. THE NEW INSTRUMENT WILL DETECT CHERENKOV AND FLUORESCENCE SIGNAL FROM HIGHLY INCLINED UHECR EVENTS. HORIZONTAL OBSERVATIONS WILL LEAD TO MUCH LARGER ACCEPTANCE WITH A DISTANCE-DEPENDENT ENERGY THRESHOLD. DEPENDING ON EUSO-SPB1 RESULTS EUSO-SPB2 MAY ALSO POINT CLOSER TO NADIR IN FLUORESCENCE. THE COMBINATION OF NADIR (EUSO-SPB) AND TILTED (EUSO-SPB2) OBSERVATIONS WILL EXPLORE THE POWER OF SPACE OBSERVATORIES TO OBSERVE UHECR OF EXTREME ENERGIES. A LONG ENOUGH FLIGHT OF EUSO-SPB2 OBSERVATIONS WILL MATCH AND COMPLEMENT GROUND OBSERVATIONS. EUSO-SPB2 ADDRESSES THE FOURTH SCIENCE GOAL OF THE 2011 NASA STRATEGIC PLAN TO DISCOVER HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS EXPLORE HOW IT BEGAN AND EVOLVED AND ONE OF THE PHYSICS OF THE COSMOS QUESTIONS IN NASA S 2010 SCIENCE PLAN: HOW DO MATTER ENERGY SPACE AND TIME BEHAVE UNDER THE EXTRAORDINARILY DIVERSE CONDITIONS OF THE COSMOS? EUSO-SPB2 DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THE SIXTH QUESTION IN THE CONNECTING QUARKS WITH THE COSMOS REPORT IN ITS LIST OF ELEVEN SCIENCE QUESTIONS FOR THE NEW CENTURY WHICH IS HOW DO COSMIC ACCELERATORS WORK AND WHAT ARE THEY ACCELERATING?$1,481,000

THE UAH RO3QET LIDAR HAS BEEN PROVIDING TROPOSPHERIC OZONE PROFILES SINCE 2008 FOR VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS SUCH AS LOW?LEVEL OZONE TRANSPORT STRATOSPHERE?TROPOSPHERE INTERACTION MODEL EVALUATION CHEMICAL PRODUCTION IN BIOMASS BURNING SMOKE TRANSPORT AND LIGHTNING INDUCED NOX. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE IMPROVED LIDAR MEASUREMENT ACCURACY FOSTERED LIDAR DATA USAGE AND COORDINATED THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE STATIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TOLNET WHICH HAS MATURED INTO AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED GROUP OF SIX NORTH AMERICAN OZONE LIDARS. RECENTLY WE ARE ACTIVELY TAKING LIDAR DATA FOR TROPOMI VALIDATION TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE TEMPO VALIDATION MISSION. IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WE PROPOSE TO 1) CONTINUE THE ROUTINE LIDAR OBSERVATION AND STANDARD DATA ARCHIVING TO SUPPORT NASA S MISSION PRIMARILY TEMPO VALIDATION 2) CONTINUE CONDUCTING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH USING LIDAR DATA (E.G. OZONE PRODUCTION IN SEUS FIRE SMOKE) 3) FINISH CONSTRUCTION OF THE MOBILE LIDAR AND SCANNING SYSTEM TO SUPPORT FUTURE FIELD CAMPAIGNS UNDER NASA S GUIDANCE AND 4) FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN TOLNET AND MODELING/SATELLITE COMMUNITY. THE AIR?QUALITY AND ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY COMMUNITIES HAVE A LONG LEGACY OF USING SPACE BASED OBSERVATIONS TO OBSERVE DAY?TO?DAY AND YEAR?TO?YEAR CHANGES IN ATMOSPHERIC CONSTITUENTS. HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CAPTURE THE DIURNAL VARIABILITY OF POLLUTION WITH ENOUGH TEMPORAL OR SPATIAL FIDELITY AND A LOW ENOUGH LATENCY FOR REGULAR USE BY OPERATIONAL DECISION MAKERS. THE OZONE PROFILING MEASUREMENTS RESULTING FROM THIS PROPOSAL WILL FILL THE UPPER?AIR GAP BETWEEN THE SURFACE MONITORING NETWORK AND GLOBAL SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS TO SUPPORT AIR?QUALITY RESEARCH AND DECISION MAKING. IN ADDITION OZONE PROFILES WITH HIGH?TEMPORAL RESOLUTION WILL ADDRESS CRITICAL QUESTIONS SUCH AS THE TEMPO RETRIEVAL UNCERTAINTY AND CAPTURED VARIANCE ESPECIALLY IN THE PBL.$1,206,852
