- This is a $169,213.25 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to address uncertainties in aerosol-cloud interactions and their impact on climate models. The project aims to develop two novel global Level-2 products from satellite sensor data that will quantify the radiative effects of absorbing aerosols above clouds and provide aerosol-corrected cloud optical depth...
- 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,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $663,831.74 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit organization, to conduct research on using data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) to improve the assimilation of hyperspectral sensor data in NASA's Global Earth Observing System (GEOS-5) global data assimilation and forecasting system, with a focus on understanding and predicting tropical...
- This is a $110,875 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Terra Research Inc., a for-profit research company based in Hoboken, New Jersey. The objective of the grant is to better understand the complex interactions between atmosphere and sea ice through a large volume of observational datasets, reanalyses, and climate modeling. This research project, titled "Using Satellite Observations and Climate Modeling to Study the Interactions of Sea Ice,...
- This $152,084.02 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit organization, to enhance the GEOS-5 subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) forecast capabilities by integrating ocean biogeochemistry into the current forecasting system. USRA will develop a forecast system for global ocean biology using the NASA Ocean Biogeochemical Model (NOBM) already implemented into the GEOS-5 Earth System Model....
- This is a $231,572 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to quantify and constrain the stratospheric water vapor and ozone responses and feedbacks to global warming using NASA's Goddard Earth System Model and satellite observations. The research aims to improve the understanding of the stratospheric chemical feedback and its impact on global warming. USRA, a nonprofit research organization, will conduct...
- This is a $720,771.62 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants. The grant, titled "Bridging the Snow - Sea Ice Gap: A Snow on Sea Ice Assimilation System for the Arctic", aims to develop daily and monthly snow depth and density products to support improved satellite-based measurements of sea ice thickness. This information is critical for understanding and predicting changes in...
- This is a $146,380.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to plan a workshop to bring together Antarctic sea ice experts. The workshop will review the current science on climate-ocean-ice interactions in the Southern Hemisphere, with a focus on the record extents of Antarctic sea ice observed in the last 3 years, which are at odds with climate model forecasts. The workshop aims to examine the processes governing...
- This is a $218,991.39 grant awarded to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project that will use long-lived trace gas records to address questions about ozone trend attribution, stratospheric circulation change, and the sensitivity of ozone projections to simulated dynamical variability. The research aims to quantify the effect of declining ozone-depleting substances...
- This is a $401,946.08 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to study the effects of climate variables on global vegetation. The objective is to use symbolic regression techniques to uncover new relationships between climate factors and vegetation anomalies, including the impact of extreme events and human-induced disturbances. The project aims to improve the understanding of ecosystem dynamics...
