This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for a research project titled "Marine Boundary Layer Clouds are Central Actors in the Climate System." The $425,246.63 grant aims to investigate how marine boundary layer shallow cumulus clouds respond to changes in aerosol levels, particularly sulfate aerosols, and how this impacts the climate system. The research will leverage data from the MODIS and A-Train...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $241,256.00 grant to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division to conduct research on precipitation characteristics in the Southern Ocean. The research aims to analyze a unique dataset collected from the Australian Research Vessel Investigator during voyages in 2016 and 2018. The research will focus on using ship-based remote sensing, in-situ, and radar measurements to characterize cloud and precipitation...
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 University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division has been awarded a $447,065.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the number of cloud droplets per unit volume in liquid-phase clouds (ND) and its relationship to aerosol chemistry and the Earth's albedo. The contract, with a performance period ending on August 31, 2025, does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Utah, a top-tier public research institution, is...
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...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is for a research project titled "A SURFACE VELOCITY INVESTIGATION OF LAKE-TERMINATING GLACIERS IN HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA" with a period of performance through August 31, 2025. The University of Utah is a top-tier public research institution that conducts cutting-edge research across numerous scientific and medical...
This is a $492,767 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center (a component of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant supports research to understand the multi-scale variability and interactions of atmospheric convection in the Maritime Continent region, which is essential for predicting high-impact weather and climate systems. The research aims to address challenges in accurately representing...
This is a $474,865 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is for a research project titled "Bridging MODIS to SBG: Improving the Historical Remotely Sensed Snow Albedo Record and Preparing for Satellite Imaging Spectroscopy via Multi-Sensor Fusion." The project aims to enhance historical satellite snow albedo data and prepare for future satellite imaging spectroscopy. The...
This $470,991.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division supports research to understand the relationships between sea ice leads (cracks and openings in Arctic sea ice) and their impact on cloud properties and the Arctic surface energy budget. The research will leverage remote sensing data and cloud-resolving modeling to quantify how leads modulate the Arctic climate system through heat and moisture...
This is a training grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the University of Utah in the amount of $89,245 for a study on the relationship between deep convection and the evolution of convective precipitation systems, particularly the differences between land and ocean convection. The goal is to evaluate the hypothesis that oceanic convection requires additional support, such as external forcing or ample time for self-development, in order to develop intense updrafts. The research...
