- The Ohio State University was awarded a $450,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on using ultra-wideband microwave radiometry from 0.5-2 GHz for improved remote sensing of snow water equivalent and snow depth. The project will involve modeling and measurement activities to investigate the sensitivities of this lower frequency approach compared to current microwave radiometry and radar methods. It aims to demonstrate the capabilities of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $120,000.00 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, doing business as the University of Michigan. The grant will advance the development of the Ultra-Wideband Software-Defined Microwave Radiometer (UWBRAD) instrument, which was previously deployed on a tower in Antarctica and during an airborne campaign over Greenland. The research aims to enhance the use of...
- This is a $42,898 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University to assist in planning and coordinating microwave experiments in the Fairbanks and Toolik areas in support of the SNOWEX project. The award is to work with the SNOWEX Project Scientist Dr. Carrie Vuyovich from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The grant has a period of performance ending on February 28, 2023. The Ohio State University is a public research university that...
- This is a one-year extension of a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University. The grant, valued at $249,794.00, is for a project titled "NEW METHODS FOR SNOW REMOTE SENSING USING ULTRA-WIDEBAND MICROWAVE RADIOMETRY." The research aims to develop new techniques for remote sensing of snow using microwave radiometry. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Ohio State University, a public research...
- This is a $283,888 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for research on the impacts of seasonal snowpack changes on wildlife energetics and population dynamics. The research aims to address key uncertainties in understanding snow life cycle processes. As a public research university, The Ohio State University has a long history of performing scientific research and technical services for federal agencies across a range of...
- This federal contract award to The Ohio State University, with a ceiling value of $378,838.48, is for a research project to extend and improve records of thickness, velocity, and ice discharge for Greenland's marine-terminating outlet glaciers. The goal is to better understand changes in ice dynamics, freshwater flux, and contribution to sea level rise, in order to constrain ice sheet and ocean models. The research will utilize a range of Earth observation data, including from NASA's MEASURES...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, provides $115,471.69 in funding for research to accurately measure the absolute temperature of sea ice and air-sea-ice heat flux using an infrared radiometer. The radiometer, known as the Ball Experimental Sea Surface Temperature (BESST) radiometer, will be deployed on NASA's 2016 Operation IceBridge flights to collect temperature data and establish the utility of a new...
- This federal grant award to The Ohio State University (OSU) in the amount of $79,852 was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support research that addresses the agency's Earth Science goal of improving climate change prediction. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023, is intended to enhance understanding of the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, land, and ice in the climate system. OSU, a public research university, is noted...
- This is a $268,066.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University. The research aims to improve the understanding of climate-driven changes to the Greenland ice sheet and its impacts on the solid Earth. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Ohio State University is a public research university that has previously conducted federal research and provided services to agencies like the...
- The Ohio State University's Office of Sponsored Programs was awarded a $98,473.19 grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to assess the radiometric and interferometric performance of Capella Space Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements for NASA Earth Science research and applications. The work, performed in Columbus, Ohio, represents a focused effort to evaluate and validate SAR data quality and measurement capabilities from commercial satellite imagery for potential integration into...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $300,228.00 grant to The Ohio State University (OSU) to conduct airborne experiments with the Ultra-Wideband Radiometer (UWBRAD) in Victoria Land, Antarctica. The UWBRAD instrument was previously developed by OSU and the Nello Carrara Institute for Applied Physics (IFAC) in Florence, Italy to measure subsurface properties of the cryosphere, including ice sheets and sea ice. This grant will support installing and certifying the UWBRAD instrument on a Kenn Borek Twin Otter aircraft, participating in the Antarctic field campaign, and analyzing the data collected. The research aims to further develop algorithms to invert UWBRAD data to compute intraglacial temperature and other geophysical parameters associated with ice sheets and sea ice. This work is part of the ESA CRYORAD project, which is investigating a potential spaceborne implementation of the UWBRAD concept.
