- The University of Maryland, College Park was awarded a $433,424 research grant by the Civilian Shared Services Center on February 10, 2022, to support the maintenance, improvement, and validation of ozone and sulfur dioxide measurements from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) R Series, specifically utilizing the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). Building on prior DSCOVR science team achievements, the...
- This is a $368,388.65 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct a three-year research project on calibrating and inter-comparing data from two satellite instruments that measure trace gas species like formaldehyde. The project aims to improve the consistency and long-term trends in these satellite products by reconciling differences between the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and Global Ozone...
- This $277,499.12 federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) supports the development and production of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) data products from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) instrument. The goal is to continue the critical Earth Observing System (EOS) data records for these key air quality and climate indicators that were previously provided by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to produce new and improved sulfur dioxide (SO2) measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA's Aura satellite. The grant, valued at $311,752.24, will fund the development and implementation of an advanced Iterative Spectral Fitting (ISF) algorithm to retrieve SO2 data with higher accuracy and precision, as well as an Extended ISF (EISF)...
- This federal contract award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to enhance the science value of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) sulfur dioxide (SO2) data product. The $732,900.50 grant-funded research will improve the OMI SO2 retrieval algorithm using principal component analysis, producing significantly better estimates of anthropogenic SO2 and volcanic SO2 cloud height. This will enable new air quality and...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, valued at $97,067.93, is to develop a suite of algorithms for generating operational cloud products from the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The work will involve using multichannel observations for cloud masking, cloud...
- This is a $504,960.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a research project titled "The Future Recovery of Stratospheric Ozone: Influence of ODSs, VSLs Cl, and GHGs". The award has an ultimate completion date of April 20, 2026. UMD is a prominent U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college, and state-controlled institution of higher learning with extensive federal research...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $347,511.49 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) onboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The objectives are to develop a new methodology to generate "hot spot" signatures from EPIC and other satellite sensor observations that can be used to monitor changes and biophysical processes in tropical and...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to produce improved high-resolution global downward shortwave radiation (DSR) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) products from MODIS satellite data. The $829,329 grant funds four major tasks: 1) extensive product validation, 2) algorithm refinements and product improvement, 3) development of product integration methods, and 4)...
- This $608,878 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on surface ozone formation and atmospheric composition in the Mid-Atlantic region. The research will leverage observations from prior aircraft field missions, including the NASA-sponsored DISCOVER-AQ, OWLETS, and LISTOS campaigns, to characterize the vertical distribution and diurnal variations of ozone precursors. This analysis,...
This is a $430,641 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to continue the science team support for the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) mission. Under this award, UMD will maintain, improve, and validate the EPIC O3SO2AI product, which provides measurements of total column ozone, sulfur dioxide, scene reflectivity, and aerosol index. The team will apply soft calibration techniques to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the EPIC ultraviolet radiance data, and further enhance the direct vertical column fitting algorithm and spatial optimal estimation scheme to improve the precision of the ozone and other geophysical quantity retrievals. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. UMD, as a state-controlled institution of higher education, is the prime contractor, and the work is being performed under the larger DSCOVR science team effort led by NASA.
