This federal contract award is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The overall goal of the research project is to better observe and predict high-impact tropical weather systems such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and tropical cyclones (TCs). The research has focused on understanding the multi-scale interaction of mesoscale convective systems and the large-scale dynamic system...
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 is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to improve the use of satellite ocean vector wind (OVW) observations in weather and climate applications. The project aims to unify, advance, and generalize UW's planetary boundary layer (PBL) model to provide a single model for all applications, including tropical cyclone research. The effort will enhance the value of OVW data for weather and climate...
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...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K1495, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Washington (UW) to support a project focused on tropical cyclones and associated precipitation in the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System. The award, which has a ceiling value of $126,338.00, is a grant for research with a completion date of July 8, 2026. The University of Washington is a prominent research institution that has secured numerous federal...
This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) is for research to advance the physical understanding of Earth's precipitation processes. The work will leverage data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellites, as well as ground validation data, to study convective systems, frontal systems, and tropical cyclones. The research aims to improve algorithms for TRMM and lay the groundwork for advanced numerical modeling...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to SRI International, a non-profit research institute, to develop and validate a two-dimensional ocean circulation model for storm surge prediction. The objectives are to (1) evaluate three methods for using CYGNSS satellite wind data to improve the storm surge modeling, and (2) develop a localized storm surge prediction system that can provide high-resolution flood forecasting. The...
This is a $308,078.48 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) on December 28, 2017. The contract is focused on improving the prediction of tropical weather systems by analyzing the complex interactions between convective cloud systems and environmental conditions over tropical oceans. UW is a public research university that has received numerous prime federal contracts and grants, serving...
This is a $113,113.55 federal contract awarded by NASA to the University of Oklahoma to study the inner core dynamics of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand the role of vortex Rossby waves in tropical cyclone intensity changes and precipitation distribution, using data from NASA instrumentation including the ER-2 Doppler radar, High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler, dropsondes, and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite. The findings will be...
This federal contract award to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) division will investigate the use of CloudSat satellite data to improve the understanding of how convective structure affects tropical cyclone intensity changes. The $479,852.50 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will involve modeling and diagnostic analyses to determine if CloudSat reflectivity profiles and water content retrievals, combined with...
