About this award
This is a $493,452.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University. The grant is for research focused on using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) constellation to improve estimates of key hurricane storm parameters, which can lead to improved modeling of hurricane storm surge. This research aims to supplement and enhance the wind speed measurements typically obtained from the National Hurricane Center's advisory and best track data. The grant has a period of performance ending on May 3, 2025. The Ohio State University is a public research university with a history of supporting federal research and development efforts across a range of scientific and technical domains.
Description
Operational storm surge models generally make use of parametric/synthetic storm models to generate wind (and pressure) fields that serve as the driving force of the storm surge calculations. In this approach, wind fields are constructed from a set of key physical parameters defining the storm, which include, for example, the storm center, the maximum sustained wind, wind radii, etc. Under current modeling practices, these parameters are obtained from the national hurricane center's advisory (for forecasting) and best track (for hindcasting) data, which are typically made available over six hour intervals during a storm event. The unique space and time coverage of wind speed measurements provided by the cyclone global navigation satellite system (cygnss) constellation offers the potential to supplement and improve upon the estimation of these key storm parameters during the storm event, thereby ultimately leading to improved estimation of hurricane storm surge. The proposal focuses on the use of approved cygnss DDM products, including recently released ones: raw intermediate frequency and full ddms. IT makes full use of the full spatial extent of cygnss ddms and temporal sampling to improve parametric representations of surface wind speeds in TCS.
