- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Technological University is a $729,288 grant for research to assess the utility of NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data for monitoring organic soil moisture in boreal and arctic ecosystems. The goal is to improve models for fire danger prediction by comparing the SMAP data to ground-based measurements, weather-based indices, and other soil moisture data sources. The research...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University. The grant, valued at $764,984, is focused on investigating the relationship between soil moisture and the initiation of deep convection, which is not well understood. The project will use the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission data, along with in-situ soil moisture data and radar observations, to evaluate whether deep convection...
- This is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Applied Geosolutions LLC, a small for-profit limited liability company. The contract, valued at $121,659.00, is for the development of the Agricultural Soil Moisture and Irrigation Status (ASOMIS) platform, which will utilize synthetic aperture radar and optical satellite data to provide operational mapping and assessment of soil moisture, irrigation status,...
- This is a $522,289.60 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to support the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) science mission. The SMAP mission was originally intended to provide soil moisture estimates at a 10 km spatial resolution with a 3-day revisit interval, but the mission's radar malfunctioned in 2015, leading to the...
- This is a $280,415.69 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University for research to improve estimates of hyperresolution root zone soil moisture. The research aims to develop a high-resolution hydrological modeling system to better characterize soil moisture and its impact on local weather, climate, and water resources management. The project will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, as well as...
- This federal contract award is a $128,422 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Earth and Space Research (ESR), a non-profit research institute. The goal of this 1-year study is to extend and improve the continuity of sea surface salinity (SSS) satellite data from the previous NASA Aquarius mission to the ongoing NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. ESR, which has extensive experience with the Aquarius data, will validate the satellite SSS variations...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $459,741 grant contract to Atmospheric & Environmental Research, Inc., a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, Inc., to provide accurate, timely, frequent, and spatially complete rainfall inputs essential for flood disaster forecasting in data-poor regions. As the prime contractor, Atmospheric & Environmental Research, Inc. will leverage data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Global Precipitation Mission...
- This federal contract award for $387,440.00 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. (AER), a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, Inc. The contract is for research to enhance the decision-making process for military stakeholders through greater use of NASA satellite and modeling resources. The key objectives are to develop a global flash drought climatology, improve global drought monitoring, and...
- This federal contract award supports the use of data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission and variable bedrock depth data to evaluate and improve land surface models. The $504,063.36 grant was awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and land grant institution, to address four key questions related to the spatiotemporal variability of SMAP data and its integration with land models. The work will focus on utilizing SMAP data for process...
- This is a one-year, $128,422 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the nonprofit institute Earth and Space Research (ESR). The goal of the study is to validate and extend the continuity of sea surface salinity (SSS) data from the recently completed Aquarius mission to the ongoing Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. ESR has extensive experience analyzing Aquarius SSS data and will repeat similar analyses to document comparable salinity...
