About this award
The Shared Services Center awarded a $98,343 research grant to Columbia University's Sponsored Projects Administration Division to explore A-Train satellite observations and their application to improving General Circulation Model (GCM) cumulus parameterizations. The project, titled "Exploring A-Train Observations of Land-Ocean Contrast in Convective Cloud Characteristics and Their Ambient Environment Toward Improving GCM Cumulus Parameterizations," focuses on analyzing the contrasting characteristics of convective clouds over land and ocean environments using multi-satellite observations from NASA's A-Train constellation. This research aims to enhance the representation of cumulus cloud processes in global climate models, which is critical for improving weather and climate prediction accuracy. The grant was awarded on October 17, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2026, and was not designated as a set-aside contract.
Research of this nature supports the federal government's broader climate science and earth observation priorities by leveraging advanced satellite data to refine predictive modeling capabilities. Columbia University, a prominent research institution with extensive experience in environmental sciences and climate research, is well-positioned to conduct this fundamental research investigation. The project will be performed at Columbia's New York campus and represents the university's continued collaboration with federal agencies on scientific research addressing national priorities in climate understanding and predictive capabilities.
