- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AE85G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the funding agency) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to continue development and integration of nonspherical snow and melting particle models. The primary objectives are to extend the database of snow particles, simulate melting of particles, and introduce the bulk single-scattering properties into a combined algorithm framework for testing radiative consistency...
- This is a $140,410.98 grant award to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports research to investigate constraints on the variability and spatial correlation structure of hydrometeors in the atmospheric column, and the impacts of hydrometeor variability on GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) estimation of falling snow water equivalent rates. The work leverages data from GPM...
- This is a $1,742,765.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) for the provision of "GLOBAL HIGH RESOLUTION DATASETS OF CONVECTIVE OR STRATIFORM TYPE FOR PRECIPITATION". The contract has an ultimate completion date of December 18, 2028 and is not set aside. UMBC, a public research university that is part of the University System of Maryland (USM), has a...
- The University of Maryland Baltimore County will provide research services to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under a $382,618 grant contract. As the prime contractor, the University of Maryland Baltimore County Financial Services division, a subsidiary of the University System of Maryland, will reconstruct the floating snow diurnal cycle and ice production rate from passive microwave measurements. The contract is valued at three hundred eighty-two thousand six hundred eighteen...
- This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park, supports research to improve precipitation estimates from cross-track passive microwave sensors in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite constellation. The $264,077.03 grant will contribute to NASA's Precipitation Measurement Mission by providing more comprehensive precipitation observations from operational satellite instruments. The research...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to develop a novel algorithm for retrieving ice water path and cloud-top height from combined passive infrared and microwave satellite observations. The goal is to generate long-term, consistent, and reliable global cloud records that can improve understanding of cloud representation in climate and weather models. The grant,...
- The University of Maryland, College Park received a $360,839 grant award (21-PMMST21-0086) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on snowfall type classification for improving passive microwave falling snow estimation and retrieval. The project, which began on March 1, 2022 and concludes on December 31, 2026, addresses critical gaps in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's Goddard Profiling (GPROF) algorithm for detecting snowfall from space-based observations. Current...
- This federal contract award, valued at $2,015,913.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to perform research on "MAKING A LONG TERM DATA RECORD OF OPPORTUNISTIC EXPERIMENTS FOR STUDYING AEROSOL CLOUD INTERACTIONS". This is a cooperative agreement with a period of performance ending on December 13, 2028. UMBC is a public research university that is part of the University...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) in the form of a $687,658.66 cooperative agreement. The award provides funding for UMD to generate long-term satellite-based precipitation data records using multiple well-founded retrieval techniques. This will help establish a benchmark dataset to monitor the performance of more complex precipitation retrieval schemes and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $261,089.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research combining high-resolution satellite observations from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission with simulations from the Global Cloud-Resolving (or Cloud-Permitting) Model (GCRM). The goal is to improve understanding of the characteristics of precipitation systems and precipi. UMD is a prominent...
This contract award is for a study to evaluate remote sensing snowfall estimates in conjunction with the GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) Validation Network and satellite-based precipitation estimates. The study will generate "ground truth" precipitation rate data from National Weather Service Automated Surface Observing Stations during snowfall events to compare against the Validation Network and GPM estimates. The work will leverage data from GPM ground validation research facilities in Marquette, Michigan and Wallops Island, Virginia, as well as field campaign data from South Korea and Southern Ontario, Canada. The $150,763 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), a public research university and member of the University System of Maryland. UMBC has extensive experience providing research, measurement, and analytical services to support NASA programs across areas like Earth science, astrophysics, and space technologies. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
