- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was granted to the University of Washington to conduct analysis and validation of data collected during the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign. The OLYMPEX project, which occurred from November 2015 to February 2016, was designed to validate measurements from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite over the Olympic Peninsula and adjacent oceans. The...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington is for research related to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The $289,238 grant will prepare for and support field research over the Olympic Peninsula and Mountains in the Pacific Northwest to validate the GPM satellite's ability to measure precipitation over complex terrain. This work will include installing surface instrumentation, assisting with radar operations, providing weather forecasting support,...
- This is a $79,881 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to process version 6 of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) 2AKU reflectivity data into a 3D Cartesian coordinate system. This will facilitate researchers in using the GPM data for a wide variety of applications. The award has a period of performance through May 31, 2024. UW is a prominent research institution that has secured numerous federal contracts and...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) is for research to advance the physical understanding of Earth's precipitation processes. The work will leverage data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellites, as well as ground validation data, to study convective systems, frontal systems, and tropical cyclones. The research aims to improve algorithms for TRMM and lay the groundwork for advanced numerical modeling...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on improving the accuracy of satellite-based precipitation measurements over the ocean. The research will involve using data from 64 acoustic rain sensors and 11 surface rain gauges mounted on ocean buoys to test methods for downscaling NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) precipitation product to better...
- This is a $134,649.18 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Washington on September 1, 2018, with a completion date of August 31, 2021. The grant funds research to investigate the extent, resolution, and accuracy of remotely-sensed snow depth observations in complex topography, as precipitation measurements in mountainous regions are challenging. The research will evaluate the ability of simulated snow depth...
- This federal grant award to the University of Washington (UW) supports research to improve the measurement and modeling of mountain snow, which is critical for understanding water supplies and ecosystems. The $1,174,641 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UW's status as a large educational institution. As a leading...
- This is a federal grant award from a civilian agency to the University of Washington (UW) for $133,576.46 to conduct research on improving cloud-snow discrimination and understanding the snow energy balance in mountains using satellite data. The results will be important for guiding future satellite mission design and will be communicated to the NASA International Snow Working Group. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. UW is a prominent public research university...
- This is a $989,657.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) for research on using new combinations of remote sensing data to estimate surface density and ice layers. The goal is to provide estimations that may equal or surpass the accuracy of computationally expensive multi-layer snow models. This is not a set-aside award. UW, as a leading research university, has a history of prime federal contract...
- This is a $513,226.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW). The grant is for research to develop process-oriented diagnostics to analyze the representation of moisture-convection coupling and cloud-radiation feedback processes in global climate models (GCMs). This research aims to improve the understanding of tropical convection and its interaction with environmental moisture and radiation,...
