This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for a research project focused on cloud and precipitation processes over the Southern Ocean region. The two main objectives are to fully explore the information content in A-Train satellite data for characterizing the cloud-precipitation microphysical processes in marine boundary layer shallow convective clouds, and to address relevant science questions in the Southern Ocean region using...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $548,861 grant to the University of Utah for scientific research services. The grant is for a project titled "Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes-Philippines Experiment" to characterize the influence of aerosols on shallow cumulus and cumulus congestus clouds in the Philippines using airborne remote sensing instrumentation. The University of Utah will deploy the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Airborne Precipitation and Cloud...
This $470,991.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division supports research to understand the relationships between sea ice leads (cracks and openings in Arctic sea ice) and their impact on cloud properties and the Arctic surface energy budget. The research will leverage remote sensing data and cloud-resolving modeling to quantify how leads modulate the Arctic climate system through heat and moisture...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $192,507.00 grant to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division to conduct research on the role of dust in the life cycle of snow, coupling remote sensing with models to link land-use, climate, and water resources. The research will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah and is scheduled for completion by August 20, 2024. The University of Utah is a top tier research and higher education institution offering over...
This is a $474,865 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is for a research project titled "Bridging MODIS to SBG: Improving the Historical Remotely Sensed Snow Albedo Record and Preparing for Satellite Imaging Spectroscopy via Multi-Sensor Fusion." The project aims to enhance historical satellite snow albedo data and prepare for future satellite imaging spectroscopy. The...
This is a $492,767 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center (a component of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant supports research to understand the multi-scale variability and interactions of atmospheric convection in the Maritime Continent region, which is essential for predicting high-impact weather and climate systems. The research aims to address challenges in accurately representing...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The $122,740.41 grant is funding research to improve the understanding of the influence of Arctic winter-time leads on boundary layer clouds, which will help improve the parameterization of these effects in coarse-scale climate models. The University of Utah is a top-tier research and higher education institution located in...
The University of Utah was awarded a $745,542.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct field campaign research related to weather and atmospheric dynamics. The award was made on April 10, 2020 and is set to be completed by April 9, 2025. This grant falls under NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation, specifically Section 2.3 on Field Campaign Opportunity. The University of Utah, as the prime grantee, will perform...
This federal contract award, valued at $261,870.52, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah to conduct a field experiment focused on the initiation and upscale growth of deep convection over tropical oceans. The principal objectives are to determine the wind and thermodynamic profiles associated with the organization of convection, observe the properties of convective downdrafts and their role in convective organization, and evaluate...
This federal contract award, valued at $518,001, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The contract is a grant for research focused on "Understanding the properties of convective systems associated with the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), African Easterly Wave (AEW), and Saharan Air Layer (SAL)" in order to improve weather and climate prediction....

This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for a research project titled "Marine Boundary Layer Clouds are Central Actors in the Climate System." The $425,246.63 grant aims to investigate how marine boundary layer shallow cumulus clouds respond to changes in aerosol levels, particularly sulfate aerosols, and how this impacts the climate system. The research will leverage data from the MODIS and A-Train satellite instruments to analyze cloud properties and aerosol impacts. The project will build on the university's previous work in this area, which found little evidence of a large first aerosol indirect effect, but did observe increased sub-1 km cloud fraction with higher aerosol levels. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Utah, as the prime contractor, will be conducting this multi-year (completion date of April 27, 2024) research project through its Office of Sponsored Projects Division.
