This is a $339,193.00 federal grant awarded to Texas A&M University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "CONSTRAINING CLOUD FEEDBACK RESPONSES ASSOCIATED WITH PRECIPITATING CLOUD DISTRIBUTION SHIFTS UNDER CHANGING TROPICAL ASCENT AREA". The grant is for a period of performance ending on October 16, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation. Texas A&M University, a public land-grant research university, is the prime...
This federal contract award, valued at $250,994.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC). The project aims to build a long-term record of the size and intensity of precipitation systems from satellite observations, with the goal of better understanding the natural variability of storm systems globally and regionally. This fundamental climate research will help differentiate genuine climate change from natural...
This federal contract award to Texas A&M University, valued at $79,991.09, supports research efforts for NASA's ICECube mission. The research project will focus on studying the radiometric and polarimetric properties of ice clouds at 874 gigahertz, which could help advance scientists' understanding of ice clouds and their role in climate change. The specific tasks include computing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties of ice crystals, developing a bulk ice cloud model, and...
This federal contract award, valued at $184,959, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to assess the impact of tropical tropopause layer (TTL) cirrus clouds on climate systems. The research will evaluate and develop new data products from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite to study the distribution, evolution, and properties of TTL cirrus clouds. The project aims to improve the...
This is a research grant awarded by NASA to Texas A&M University, with a ceiling value of $228,682.42 and a completion date of February 29, 2020. The grant aims to 1) adapt the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulator Package (COSP) to compare climate model precipitation processes to observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Radar (DPR), and 2)...
This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University. The objective is to improve the understanding and prediction of convective systems associated with tropical propagating modes in the East Pacific using NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite data and the MERRA-2 reanalysis. The project aims to characterize the dominant tropical...
This federal contract award to Texas A&M University is a $135,000.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center for research. The project aims to leverage Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) measurements to develop an improved energy balance framework and constrain climate sensitivity. The award has no set-aside designation and is set to be completed by August 31, 2024. Texas A&M University is the prime contractor, and it...
This is a $367,672 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research using observations from weather satellites like Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), and CloudSat. The research will diagnose vertical precipitation structures and latent heating profiles associated with synoptic-scale meteorological systems, as well as evaluate how well climate models capture these large-scale...
