About this award
This $209,975.30 federal grant award to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) supports the development and deployment of an Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) for NASA. The award covers providing AVAPS dropsonde hardware, consultation on designing a dropsonde launcher, and field support during deployment. UCAR, which manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), has extensive expertise in atmospheric research and development to support this effort. The work will be performed at NCAR facilities in Boulder, Colorado. This grant award is not associated with any set-aside designations. UCAR frequently partners with universities and leverages its advanced computing and modeling capabilities to support atmospheric and Earth system science research across federal agencies like NASA, NOAA, NSF, and DOE.
Description
The proposed work will provide NASA 1) avaps (airborne vertical atmospheric profiling system) dropsonade hardware including an 8-channel telemetry chassis and computer, 2) consultation to wallops flight facility engineering staff for designing a dropsonde launcher, and 3) field support (in-person and remotely) during deployment. The proposing group is extremely experienced in all aspects of the planned work, and have been involved in numerous other NASA-sponsored field missions. This experience is extremely valuable for all aspects of the work, including quality control of dropsonde data, and will ensure mission success.
