- This federal contract award, NNX16AO10H, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division for a research project titled "Quantifying and Elucidating the Physical Basis of Uncertainty in GPM Precipitation in Mountain Regions". The $119,911 award supports work to characterize the dependencies between spatial and temporal variability of errors in orographic quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE)...
- This federal contract award, with identification number NNX16AL16G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Duke University to improve satellite-based quantitative precipitation estimation (SQPE) in mountainous regions. The research will focus on understanding the physical processes governing orographic precipitation through data analysis, modeling, and integration of satellite and ground observation data from the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEX)...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University in the amount of $522,655.02. The grant is part of the Next Generation Cold Land Processes Experiment, which aims to improve satellite-based remote sensing capabilities for monitoring snow mass over large, remote regions. Duke University will integrate distributed ground-based observations with existing field measurements to constrain and evaluate coupled snow hydrology-microwave...
- 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 federal contract award to the University of Washington is for research related to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The $289,238 grant will prepare for and support field research over the Olympic Peninsula and Mountains in the Pacific Northwest to validate the GPM satellite's ability to measure precipitation over complex terrain. This work will include installing surface instrumentation, assisting with radar operations, providing weather forecasting support,...
- Duke University Office Of Research Administration Division was awarded a $135,000 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The objective of the research is to develop a framework for correcting satellite estimates of orographic precipitation in mountainous regions using ground-based rainfall and streamflow observations. The research strategy involves using big data analytics tools like multifractal downscaling, support vector machine learning,...
- This is a $174,980.83 grant awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research to advance the science of retrieving snowfall rates from the Ku, Ka, and Ku/Ka band radars on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. The research team will evaluate GPM retrieval algorithms by comparing them to in-situ aircraft...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) is for research to advance the physical understanding of Earth's precipitation processes. The work will leverage data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellites, as well as ground validation data, to study convective systems, frontal systems, and tropical cyclones. The research aims to improve algorithms for TRMM and lay the groundwork for advanced numerical modeling...
