- 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...
- 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 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 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...
- This is a $117,869 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech) to study the impacts of volcanic aerosols on satellite-based measurements of trace gases. The grant will enable Michigan Tech to track the evolution of sub-surface magmatic conditions by analyzing volcanic emission plume composition. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract and was awarded directly to Michigan Tech as the prime...
- This is a $80,864.36 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Sciglob Instruments & Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned small business. The grant is a continuation of previous work to maintain the calibration of the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC). The grant will fund the continued maintenance of the EPIC dark count map and bad pixel list, evaluation of any...
- This federal contract award, valued at $262,427.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech) to conduct research on measuring the links between vegetation health and volcanic processes using remote sensing data. The research aims to develop methods to extract physical parameters from hyperspectral and multispectral data, such as sulfur dioxide emissions, surface temperature, and vegetation health, in order to...
- This research grant of $452,502 was awarded to The University of Iowa on March 9, 2022, for work supporting NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) mission and its Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument. EPIC observes the entire sunlit face of Earth across multiple wavelengths from the ultraviolet through the infrared spectrum, providing critical data for Earth science research. The work is performance at the University of Iowa's location in Iowa City, Iowa, with an ultimate...
- 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 $191,507 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (an agency within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech) for the continuation of a multi-decadal global SO2 and NO2 Earth science data records program. The grant is not set aside and represents research work to be performed through March 2029. Michigan Tech is known for its STEM expertise and has a significant federal contract and grant portfolio, including work with...
This is a $267,948 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Technological University to continue development and maintenance of an algorithm for retrieving sulfur dioxide (SO2) data from the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The project aims to validate and analyze EPIC's SO2 and aerosol index data for volcanic eruptions, leveraging the instrument's high-cadence ultraviolet observations from the Earth-Sun L1 point to improve understanding of volcanic cloud processes and impacts. This research grant builds on the university's prior work with the DSCOVR science team and its extensive experience in measuring volcanic SO2 from satellite data. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
