The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,038,094.00 grant to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research related to integrating measurements from various observation sources into a weather forecasting model. The research aims to improve the model's microphysics parameterization through ensemble-based simultaneous state and parameter estimation. Key goals include characterizing snowstorm structures and dynamics as well as identifying essential observations for operational snowstorm monitoring and forecasting. The grant requires Penn State to perform real-time weather analysis and forecasting, assimilate field and routine data into a four-dimensional integrated analysis, and use the weather model to estimate uncertain parameters in the physics parameterizations. This grant does not have a set-aside designation and runs through February 5, 2026.
