- This is a $239,894.94 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on improving the evaluation of bin and bulk microphysics in winter precipitation modeling. The research will leverage data from NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Ground Validation (GV) campaigns and initial GPM satellite data, along with a mesoscale model using state-of-the-art bin microphysics, to advance the understanding of mixed...
This federal contract award, valued at $240,341.80, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for research related to measurements of rainfall using a newly purchased Meteorological Particle Spectrometer (MPS). The objectives of the contract include assessing the data quality and accuracy of the MPS in measuring drop size distributions and fall speeds, combining data from the MPS and an existing 2D Video Disdrometer (2DVD) to construct full drop size distributions, and developing methods to retrieve drop size distributions from NASA's S-Band NPOL Radar measurements. This research supports NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) mission. No set-aside designation was used for this grant-funded research contract. CSU, a public land-grant research university, will perform the work at its facilities in Fort Collins, Colorado.
