- This is a $395,969.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant's objective is to study temperature variations in Jupiter's upper atmosphere to determine the most likely source(s) of heating. The research will involve ground-based observational campaigns of Jupiter's ionosphere, with a focus on the regions surrounding the Great Red Spot, to uncover the temporal and...
- This is a $584,814.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a for-profit scientific research organization. The grant is for a focused study on high-resolution Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) modeling, validation, and analysis to investigate atmospheric waves and their influences on winds in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. This research aims to inform improved methods for simulating small-scale wave...
- This is a $338,120.99 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a study on the role of wave dynamics in the origin and evolution of "hot Jupiters", which are large exoplanets that orbit very close to their host stars. The work will use two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic simulations to understand how...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Global Atmospheric Technologies And Sciences, Inc. (GATS), a for-profit aerospace company. The grant, with a value of $788,251.71, is to conduct research on small-scale gravity wave, instability, and turbulence dynamics in the middle and upper atmosphere. This research aims to improve understanding of the transport and deposition of energy and momentum throughout the atmosphere, which impacts the...
- This $269,851.58 NASA grant was awarded to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a for-profit research organization, to investigate the effects of atmospheric gravity waves on circulation and composition in the Southern Hemisphere. The research will utilize NASA satellite data and climate model output to understand why models typically have biases in temperatures and winds in this region, which impacts the ability to accurately model the ozone hole and climate change. The goal is to...
- This is a $705,543.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. (AER), a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, Inc. The grant is for research to profile water vapor in the planetary boundary layer using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation data assimilation. AER is a for-profit organization with expertise in atmospheric and Earth sciences research, providing advanced...
This is a $94,998.19 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aeolis Research Inc., a for-profit research company. The goal of the project is to develop improved parameterizations of moist convection processes in the atmospheres of gas giant planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, for use in global climate models. This will help further the understanding of the general circulation and climate dynamics of these planetary bodies. The grant supports research that aims to condense knowledge from explicit modeling of moist convection, constrained by observational data, into a form suitable for implementation in general circulation models (GCMs). The award does not use a set-aside designation and is a grant for research rather than a standard procurement contract.
