About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $783,432.65 grant for research to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, on December 5, 2018. The research grant is focused on validating NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Edition 4 cloud property products, which have been significantly improved compared to previous editions but still have some outstanding issues that require further investigation. The research effort is divided into three objectives with seven tasks. The University of Arizona, a U.S. state government entity, 1862 Land Grant College, Hispanic Serving Institution, and state controlled institution of higher learning, is the prime grantee for this research project, which is taking place in Tucson, Arizona. No set-aside designation is mentioned in the information provided.
Description
The NASA clouds and the earth s radiant energy system (ceres) edition 4 (ED4) cloud property products have recently been made available for public use. Compared to its predecessor, the ceres edition 2 (ED2), the ED4 cloud products have been improved significantly in cloud fraction, cloud height, and cloud microphysical properties globally. However, some outstanding issues exist, such as different trends of cloud fractions and heights derived from terra and aqua modis over the polar and non-polar regions, ocean and land, and daytime and nighttime, as well as the cloud 3-d effect on the ceres cloud property retrievals and the dependencies of these retrievals on the satellite view zenith angle (VZA) and solar zenith angle (SZA). Another outstanding issue is the inconsistent cloud properties between modis and viirs. These issues need further investigation. In this proposal, our validation efforts will be grouped into three objectives comprised of seven tasks as follows.
