This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0712, was granted to The Ohio State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $445,329 grant is for research to develop and validate new storm parameter estimation approaches using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) to improve storm surge predictions from the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) hydrodynamic model. The research aims to demonstrate the utility of GNSS-R...
This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center aims to better understand air-sea interaction and improve tropical cyclone (TC) prediction using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission and a high-resolution coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean model. The $477,792 grant will support research to: 1) evaluate CYGNSS wind and wave data using field observations, 2)...
This is a $493,452.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University. The grant is for research focused on using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) constellation to improve estimates of key hurricane storm parameters, which can lead to improved modeling of hurricane storm surge. This research aims to supplement and enhance the wind speed measurements typically obtained from the...
This is a $596,241.98 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the vulnerability of major U.S. coastal cities to storm surge flooding due to rising sea levels and coastal subsidence. The methods will involve analyzing tide gauge records, using a regional ocean model, and leveraging Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to quantify vertical land motion along the...
This federal contract award to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) Division provides funding for a research project focused on utilizing data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellite mission to study tropical waves, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and tropical cyclones. The project aims to create superior-quality, global 4x daily gridded ocean surface wind products from CYGNSS data for use by NASA and the broader...
This federal contract award to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, is for a NASA Earth Venture Class mission called CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System). The $746,686 grant is for research to improve the assimilation of CYGNSS delay-Doppler map (DDM) observations into hurricane forecast models. This will involve extending empirical models relating DDMs to wind speed and direction, and demonstrating the direct assimilation of DDM data into a standard...
This is a $300,369 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for research to assimilate data from the NASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) satellite and the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) into the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) new-generation non-hydrostatic global forecast model. The goal is to improve the prediction of tropical convection and associated weather phenomena. The research...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $444,234 grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University) to study the challenges of forecasting severe storm development and intensification in the Northeast United States. The research aims to leverage data from the GOES-R satellite, including the Advanced Baseline Imager and Geostationary Lightning Mapper, to improve the identification of convective initiation and track storm...
This is a $300,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Florida International University (FIU) for a 3-year research project. The project aims to characterize how the symmetric process dictates the evolution of rapid intensification (RI) events in tropical cyclones using NASA satellite and airborne data. The research will develop a comprehensive 18-year global database of RI and slowly intensifying storms, analyzing cloud and...
This is a $530,563 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to SRI International, a non-profit research and development institute. The grant will fund a project to use remote sensing data to measure river flow rates, which is crucial for many Earth science applications but difficult to comprehensively monitor through in-situ methods alone. SRI International has a robust history of providing advanced scientific...
