- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provides $378,838 in funding to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct research related to improving the accuracy of carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite. The research aims to minimize systematic errors in OCO-2's CO2 retrievals caused by cloud contamination, by developing advanced radiative transfer modeling and analysis of actual OCO-2...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AQ93G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System's University of Wisconsin - Madison division, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs. The $322,304.67 grant supports the development of a full retrieval framework using photon pathlength distributions, with the goal of improving carbon dioxide column mixing ratio (XCO2) retrieval accuracy from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2...
- The University of Wisconsin System has been awarded a $470,580 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue the development of cloud retrieval algorithms for the next generation of geostationary weather satellite imagers. The goal is to provide algorithmic continuity with NASA's existing low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite data record, while adding the high temporal sampling of geostationary satellites to enable new capabilities for the NASA program. This effort will...

The grant is for research purposes and has an ultimate completion date of October 24, 2023. The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division operating as Research...
- The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, has been awarded a $155,026 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop algorithms for key cloud products to satisfy the agency's mission requirements. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the expected completion date is August 31, 2023. The University of Wisconsin System is the prime contractor on this research and development effort, which aligns...
- The University of Wisconsin System was awarded a $412,683 grant for research by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to work closely with the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIOP) team to understand how to compute the range-resolved attenuated backscatter coefficients from the rawest possible CALIOP observations. This grant, with a period of performance through April 30, 2025, does not have a set-aside designation. The University of...
- This is a $536,383 grant awarded to the University of Wisconsin System, operating through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The goal of this 4-year contract is to monitor, maintain, validate, and refine four algorithms used to process data from the Terra and Aqua MODIS satellite instruments. This includes adjusting cloud detection thresholds, testing backup channels, and conducting limited...
- This is a $1,254,782.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Wisconsin System, operating through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, for a scientific research project. The grant, which was awarded on May 20, 2020, is for a 5-year period ending on May 18, 2025. The project aims to quantify variability in heat and water exchanges between land, the atmosphere, and the ocean using a new 30-year, monthly...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $400,308.00 grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct research on precipitation patterns over the global oceans. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run through May 31, 2025. The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division operating as Research and Sponsored Programs, has a history of conducting federally-funded research, including projects...
- This $465,729 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division operating as Research and Sponsored Programs. The grant is for research related to "Satellite and Field-Campaign Observations Across the Globe" to provide "Valuable Insight into the Occurrence, Structure, and Evolution of Convective Clouds in Various...
This $343,478 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, operating under the University of Wisconsin System, to continue research to advance the capabilities of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite in cloudy scenes. The research aims to develop new techniques for partial column retrievals of carbon dioxide concentrations, as well as improved methods for retrieving cloud properties from OCO-2 data. This will increase the coverage and applications of the OCO-2 dataset. The grant includes tasks for algorithm development, validation, and error analysis. There is no set-aside designation for this award, and the University of Wisconsin System is the prime contractor with no major subcontractors mentioned.
