- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for a research project focused on cloud and precipitation processes over the Southern Ocean region. The two main objectives are to fully explore the information content in A-Train satellite data for characterizing the cloud-precipitation microphysical processes in marine boundary layer shallow convective clouds, and to address relevant science questions in the Southern Ocean region using...
- The University of Utah was awarded a $291,032 grant (NNX16AF95G) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to analyze in-situ and remote sensing data collected during recent ground validation campaigns. The objective is to quantify the impact of ice crystal population properties on radar and radiometer retrievals of precipitation, which is crucial for improving predictive climate models. The grant supports research aimed at understanding the uncertainties associated with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $548,861 grant to the University of Utah for scientific research services. The grant is for a project titled "Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes-Philippines Experiment" to characterize the influence of aerosols on shallow cumulus and cumulus congestus clouds in the Philippines using airborne remote sensing instrumentation. The University of Utah will deploy the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Airborne Precipitation and Cloud...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $108,449.27 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to create a reference precipitation dataset using data from various Earth observation satellites. The goal is to identify, quantify, diagnose, and reduce uncertainties in the precipitation observational record, with a focus on high latitudes and oceanic regions. This research grant aligns with NASA's work in Earth science and climate...
- This is a $1,116,509.73 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant, titled "Precipitation and Glacier Change in High Mountain Asia over the Common Era," aims to quantify the temporal and spatial variability in precipitation over High Mountain Asia and the impacts of this variability on glacier mass balance over the modern era from 1980 to the present. The research will employ statistical climate...
- This is a $300,369 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for research to assimilate data from the NASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) satellite and the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) into the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) new-generation non-hydrostatic global forecast model. The goal is to improve the prediction of tropical convection and associated weather phenomena. The research...
- This is a $401,342.07 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois to conduct research and analysis in support of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The goal is to improve the GPM precipitation retrieval algorithms by utilizing data from the GPM ground validation field campaigns to characterize cloud and precipitation properties and quantify the impact of uncertainties on the retrievals. The research will focus on mid-...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $177,138.16 grant to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science to study the relationship between precipitation and environmental factors that influence tropical cyclone formation.
