This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Morgan State University, a historically Black university in Baltimore, Maryland. The $314,331.74 grant is for research focused on mitigating ground clutter issues that negatively impact precipitation detection and quantification from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) radar observations, particularly in cold season, high-latitude regions. The research aims to develop methodologies to reconstruct precipitation information obscured by ground clutter and improve combined precipitation estimates from radar and radiometer observations. This contract is not associated with a set-aside program.
