About this award
This is a 3-year, $423,251 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a for-profit scientific research organization based in Seattle, Washington. The grant is for a project to quantify atmospheric gravity wave vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum globally using Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) observations and high-resolution Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) simulations. The goal is to evaluate gravity wave parameterizations in GEOS through an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) and validate the GEOS simulations against AIRS observations and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) data. This research aims to provide observationally- and simulation-derived targets for improving gravity wave drag and low-level blocking parameterizations, which are important for improving weather and climate prediction. The contract is not set aside and Nwra has previously executed contracts and grants with various federal agencies, including NASA, NSF, and DoD, focused on advanced atmospheric, geophysical, and space science research.
