NASA has awarded a USD 125,000 firm fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Southwest Sciences Inc., a small business, to develop a compact carbon dioxide (CO2) instrumentation system for small aerial platforms. This instrumentation will support NASA's efforts to measure and understand CO2 fluxes and the carbon budget, which is critical for validating satellite data and obtaining high-resolution, non-integrated CO2 profiles. The proposed instrument aims to...
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to Aerodyne Research Inc., a small business based in Billerica, Massachusetts. The contract is for the development of an "Ultra-High Precision Laser Isotope Monitor for 13CO2, CO180 and CO170" and has a ceiling value of $399,996. The contract is a Firm Fixed Price definitive contract with a completion date of August 12, 2018. This SBIR Phase II...
This is a $430,735 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to quantify the processes controlling the temporal variability of biosphere-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) flux on seasonal and interannual timescales from 1989 to 2018. The research aims to improve predictions from Earth system models by integrating remote sensing observations, mechanistic models, and NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5)...
This federal contract award, valued at $124,963.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aerodyne Research Inc., a small business based in Billerica, Massachusetts. The contract is for the development and demonstration of a new instrument capable of measuring the primary clumped isotope of carbon dioxide (13C18O16O) and the mass-independent 17O content using tunable infrared laser direct absorption spectroscopy (TILDAS) technology. This instrument will...
This is a $406,034.47 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on the relationship between satellite measurements of solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) and vegetation reflectance, and their link to gross primary productivity (GPP) in northern boreal forests. The research aims to improve understanding of the ecophysiological mechanisms driving seasonal changes in plant photosynthesis and carbon cycling within these ecosystems....
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The purpose of the grant is to improve spectroscopic knowledge of molecular absorption coefficients for carbon dioxide and oxygen, which is critical for proper interpretation of data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite. The grant will fund a collaborative effort to simultaneously use data from three...
This federal contract award NNX10RA64P, valued at $100,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center to Atmospheric Observing Systems, Inc. for the development of high-altitude carbon dioxide (CO2) analyzer technology. The technology is intended to be deployed on NASA's Airborne Science Program research aircraft to support the calibration and validation of CO2 observations from spacecraft. The contract has a small business set-aside...
This is a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southwest Sciences Inc., a small business, for the development of an airborne instrument to measure carbonyl sulfide (OCS) in the atmosphere. The instrument uses a room temperature interband cascade laser operating in the 4800-4900 nm region, which has substantially reduced power requirements compared to quantum cascade lasers in the same spectral region....
This federal grant award, valued at $537,338.13, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the agency) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to support research related to the validation of column carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) satellite over the Amazon basin. The grant aims to make calibrated in-situ CO2 measurements from aircraft and tower sites in the Amazon region...
This is a $440,227.28 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to support research related to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite mission. The grant will fund a multi-year effort to utilize high-altitude aircore measurements and aircraft data to improve the bias corrections and scaling of OCO-2 total column carbon dioxide (XCO2) retrievals, and to evaluate the accuracy of flux estimates from OCO-2 data in climate...
