About this award

The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas, was awarded a $762,724 research grant (Contract # 80NSSC20K1242) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to integrate a Multichannel Snow Radar (MSR) onto the NASA P-3 Orion Airborne Science Platform. The MSR was previously developed by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) under a prior NASA contract related to Operation IceBridge. This 2-18 GHz radar system will enable tomographic techniques to generate 3D maps of snow distribution on sea ice and reliable direct sounding of snow on land with unprecedented detail and coverage. The project has a performance period from June 2020 to June 2025 and does not utilize any set-aside designations.

Description

We propose to integrate a multichannel snow radar (MSR) onto the NASA p-3 orion airborne science platform. Cresis built the MSR under a previous NASA call associated with operation icebridge (OIB). The multichannel 2-18 GHZ capability enables tomographic techniques that will generate 3D maps of snow distribution with unprecedented detail and coverage on sea ICE and reliable direct sounding of snow on land.
