- This federal contract award to Colorado State University (CSU) is a $1,605,887.71 Cooperative Agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a citizen-based monitoring network for atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) and aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements. The "Citizen-Enabled Aerosol Measurements for Satellites (CEAMS)" project aims to improve satellite-derived estimates of surface-level PM2.5 concentrations, which are often uncertain due to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $339,151.26, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for research related to understanding the role of wind-induced surface flux variability in the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO). The work will leverage data from NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission, along with precipitation data and cloud system resolving...
- This is a $367,584 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for research in support of the Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) program. The primary research objectives include studying the variability of drop size distribution and column microphysics related to tropical convection, as well as validating the microphysical parameterizations in the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model using in-situ and radar data. The research...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the "IMPACTS OF CHANGES TO LAND COVER AND AEROSOLS ON CONVECTION IN THE MARITIME CONTINENT". The award is for a student, Gabrielle Leung, to perform this research. The award does not have a set-aside designation. CSU is the prime contractor, and there is no information provided about any subcontractors. The award is part of the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $520,034.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for a research project focused on improving the performance and applicability of the Goddard Profiling Algorithm (GPROF), a key component of NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The research aims to develop methods for generalizing validation statistics collected in specific regions, allowing GPROF performance to be...
- This federal contract award, valued at $240,341.80, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for research related to measurements of rainfall using a newly purchased Meteorological Particle Spectrometer (MPS). The objectives of the contract include assessing the data quality and accuracy of the MPS in measuring drop size distributions and fall speeds, combining data from the MPS and an existing 2D Video Disdrometer (2DVD) to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $525,408.00, was granted to Colorado State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to use data from the CloudSat and CALIPSO satellite missions to understand the role of clouds in extratropical climate variability. The contract runs through October 16, 2026. Colorado State University, a public land-grant research university, will provide research services through its Sponsored Programs division. This award is not associated...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for a research project titled "Towards Improved Estimates of Cloud Feedbacks Using High Resolution Climate Simulations and CERES Observations". The contract has a period of performance ending on October 3, 2026. CSU, which is designated as a U.S. State Government, 1862 Land Grant College, and Educational Institution, will be the prime contractor for this...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University for a research project titled "ASSESSING THE ROLE OF NEAR-CLOUD AEROSOLS IN RADIATION BUDGET USING RETRIEVALS FROM 3D RADIATIVE TRANSFER AND MACHINE LEARNING (STUDENT CHEN-KUANG YANG)". The grant is for a research project to assess the impact of near-cloud aerosols on the Earth's radiation budget using advanced modeling techniques. Colorado State University,...
- This is a $119,959.24 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to study the transition zone between clear and cloudy air. The grant is part of CSU's ongoing work with federal agencies like NASA, providing research, technical assistance, and educational services related to topics such as satellite data analysis, climate modeling, and meteorology. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a public land-grant...
This federal contract award, valued at $1,213,200.16, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the impacts of aerosols on the microphysical and dynamical processes of tropical convection and cold pools, and their environmental modulation. The research aims to enhance scientific understanding of these complex aerosol-cloud-environmental interactions, which will help improve representation of these processes in numerical weather prediction and climate models. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of the Clouds Aerosol Monsoon Processes and Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX) project. The research will involve the deployment of dropsondes during the CAMP2EX field campaign, analysis of the dropsonde and aircraft data, and the synthesis of this data into the initialization and validation of both idealized and case study cloud-resolving numerical simulations. This work is expected to advance the scientific community's knowledge of how aerosol number concentration and type impact the microphysics, precipitation, and dynamics of cumulus and congestus clouds under various environmental conditions.
