This $105,000 federal contract award to Purdue University is focused on investigating the impact of land surface conditions on the structure, intensity, and rainfall characteristics of landfalling tropical cyclones. The project aims to develop a better process-scale understanding of the interactive mechanisms between land and tropical cyclones, and to explore how incorporating improved representation of antecedent land state using satellite data can enhance the prediction of landfalling tropical...
This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, for an experimental demonstration of multi-frequency, multi-polarization signals of opportunity sensing of root-zone soil moisture. The award is for a research grant with an ultimate completion date of October 3, 2026. No set-aside designation was used. Purdue University, as...
This federal contract award, valued at $872,707.00, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution. The contract requires Purdue to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. This includes participating as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted to Purdue University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the subseasonal to seasonal variability pattern in the midlatitudes. Purdue University, a 1862 Land Grant College and Educational Institution, is the prime contractor for this grant. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
