The contract, valued at $709,856.00, is a result of a NASA Research Announcement and is for work to provide an improved AS-ECV dataset for AMSR-E and to determine how climate oscillations and trends in the atmosphere affect VIIRS TS retrievals. The contract is a Definitive Contract with a Firm Fixed Price pricing type,...
- This federal contract award to Colorado State University (CSU) for $654,996.92 is to enhance the current passive microwave retrieval algorithm for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite constellation. The work involves four specific tasks: 1) improving deep convective precipitation estimates using convective available potential energy (CAPE), 2) better accounting for extratropical precipitation, 3) resolving issues with non-linear rainfall regressions, and 4) restructuring the...
- This federal contract award is a research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida's Central Florida Remote Sensing Laboratory (CFRSL), in collaboration with Data and Image Processing Consultants (DIPCON). The $395,860 grant supports analytical work to refine methodologies for the intercalibration of brightness temperature radiance measurements from passive microwave radiometer sensors across the satellites of the Global...
- This federal contract award, valued at $386,519.37, was granted to Colorado State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Constellation project. The objective is to extend and improve the availability, quality, and consistency of the 30+ year precipitation data record from a constellation of microwave radiometers. Key focus areas include addressing changes to the radiometer constellation, improving the level...
- This is a $459,895 grant award to Colorado State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research to improve the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's rainfall retrieval algorithms. The objective is to better understand and mitigate errors in the passive microwave rainfall retrieval from the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) sensor. Key focus areas include improving precipitation detection over ocean and land, especially in mountainous regions, and...
- This is a $367,672 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research using observations from weather satellites like Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), and CloudSat. The research will diagnose vertical precipitation structures and latent heating profiles associated with synoptic-scale meteorological systems, as well as evaluate how well climate models capture these large-scale...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) is for research to improve the consistency of precipitation estimates from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite constellation. The contract, valued at $339,305.53, aims to address challenges in producing consistent precipitation measurements from the various research and operational microwave sensors that make up the GPM constellation. Key objectives...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC21K0545, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Remote Sensing Systems, a for-profit research-oriented business located in Santa Rosa, California. The goal of the proposed work is to develop retrieval algorithms for ocean environmental parameters that will be measured by the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR) mission. The contract, which is a grant for research, has an ultimate completion date of...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of NNH15CN50C, was issued by the Headquarters (HQ) of a Civilian federal agency to Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), a research-oriented business located in Santa Rosa, California. The contract, a Definitive Contract with a Firm Fixed Price structure, is for the continued production and distribution of ocean products derived from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) instrument on the GCOM-W satellite. The work will also include ongoing...
This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Remote Sensing Systems, a research-oriented business located in Santa Rosa, California. The objective of the investigation is to continue the production, validation, and utilization of the geophysical retrievals from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's Microwave Imager (GMI) instrument, which is used to generate essential climate variable (ECV) data products related to air-sea interactions. This includes sea surface temperature, near-surface ocean winds, total water vapor, total cloud water, and sea surface rain rate. The GMI ECV data are an important component of the 30-year air-sea climate data record (AS-CDR). The contract aims to make improvements to the GMI data processing algorithms, such as mitigating sun glitter and radio frequency interference. The contract is a definitive, firm-fixed-price contract with a potential value of $626,324.00 and a completion date of May 31, 2020. There is no set-aside designation noted.
