About this award

This federal contract award to Texas A&M University, with a ceiling value of $114,512.11, is for a research grant to develop an improved energy balance framework using observations from the CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) mission. The project aims to leverage CERES measurements to constrain climate sensitivity by analyzing how controlling factors for each component of the energy balance change as the climate warms.

The award is granted by a civilian federal agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and does not have a set-aside designation. Texas A&M University, a prominent public research institution, is the prime contractor for this grant. The Texas A&M University System, the parent organization, has a broad portfolio of federal contract and grant awards spanning disciplines such as engineering, agriculture, national security, and environmental research. This grant aligns with NASA's climate science and Earth observation programs, leveraging Texas A&M's expertise in energy balance modeling and climate sensitivity analysis.

Description

In this project, the institution proposes to leverage the ceres measurements to develop an improved energy balance framework and constrain climate sensitivity by combining estimates of how the controlling factors for each component change as the climate warms.
