- This is a $134,529.72 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University on September 1, 2017. The goal of the research is to develop a bispectral retrieval technique using sub-millimeter and thermal infrared wave radiometry to accurately measure ice water path (IWP) and ice particle effective diameter (D_eff) in clouds. This research aims to address discrepancies in IWP values in general circulation models due to...
- This is a $100,815.45 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University. The grant supports three key activities: Refinement of NASA's Level-2 cloud mask, cloud-top property, and cloud optical property datasets from the MODIS sensors on the Terra and Aqua satellites. This includes completing ongoing refinement work and developing a new infrared optimal estimation algorithm to replace the current CO2-slicing heritage...
- This is a $105,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University. The contract is focused on retrieving the degree of roughness of ice cloud particles from satellite polarimetric observations to improve understanding of cloud radiative effects and climate modeling. The work involves developing a continuous parameter space approach to quantify the variability and uncertainty in ice cloud particle...
- This federal contract award to Texas A&M University, valued at $79,991.09, supports research efforts for NASA's ICECube mission. The research project will focus on studying the radiometric and polarimetric properties of ice clouds at 874 gigahertz, which could help advance scientists' understanding of ice clouds and their role in climate change. The specific tasks include computing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties of ice crystals, developing a bulk ice cloud model, and...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University in the amount of $392,539.38. The award is for the development of a new theoretical framework to infer ice crystal surface roughness from multi-angular sensor measurements, such as those from the Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) and Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on the Terra satellite. The research aims to quantify the degree of...
- This is a $92,578.61 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research on water vapor concentration, cloud abundance, and their impact on the Earth's climate and stratospheric chemistry. The research aims to use measurements from various satellite instruments, including SAGE II/III, CALIOP, OMPS-LP, and Aura MLS, as well as transport and microphysical modeling, to better understand the processes controlling clouds and...
- This federal contract award from NASA to Texas A&M University, with a ceiling value of $203,257.19, is for the development of ice cloud and snow optical property models to support the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) science team. The research aims to improve and validate a new ice cloud bulk radiative property model, generate lookup tables for cloud property retrievals using NASA satellite data, and develop a novel snow albedo model for radiative transfer calculations....
- This is a $77,725.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University to investigate errors in the modeling of Arctic clouds in climate models and the implications for climate change simulations.
