This contract, awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, is a $578,752 grant for a 4-year study on the variability of the northern North Atlantic sea surface salinity and the role of Arctic freshwater transport. The research, classified under the CFDA number 43.001 - Science Mission Directorate, will be conducted at ESR's facilities in Seattle, Washington. This contract does not have a set-aside designation. ESR has a consistent...
This $442,503.36 grant award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study near-surface salinity stratification. The research aims to investigate the processes controlling the generation and evolution of freshwater lenses in the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which create discrepancies between satellite-derived sea surface salinity data and in-situ measurements. ESR will combine...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0892, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) to the nonprofit research institute Earth And Space Research (ESR). The award is a grant for research related to the exploitation of NASA satellite sea surface salinity (SSS) measurements to investigate SSS variability, which aligns with the identified Topic 1 in the ROSES A.10 solicitation. The grant has a ceiling value of $276,829.97 and a completion date of April 8, 2024. ESR, which...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $503,541 grant to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a non-profit institute specializing in oceanographic research. The grant is for research to study the factors contributing to Antarctic ice sheet mass loss, including basal melting and the calving of icebergs from ice shelves. ESR has previously received multiple prime and subcontract awards from NASA to conduct research on topics such as sea surface salinity, ocean eddies,...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AQ60G, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute specializing in oceanographic research. The $253,533.00 grant supports a research project with three main objectives: 1) evaluating existing resources for estimating mixed-layer properties, 2) examining the impact of simulated satellite mixed-layer observations on ocean state...
This is a $1,124,316.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute. The grant is for a research project investigating the dynamic nature of marine eco-regions in the North Pacific using biological datasets and satellite oceanographic data. The project aims to study how "Meso-Marine Ecosystems" (MMEs) may move in response to changing ocean conditions,...
This contract award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, is a $819,715.92 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue the Multi-Sensor Improved Sea-Surface Temperature (MISST) for Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) project that was previously funded from 2011-2017. The project aims to (i) improve data distribution and international partnerships, (ii) incorporate new satellite data and algorithms for sea surface temperature...
