This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AI13G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The $97,853.15 award supports research to improve forward physical radiative transfer models and retrieval algorithms for radar remote sensing of terrestrial snow, which is critical for effective management of water resources. The research aims to address gaps in the current baseline algorithms for the European Space Agency's Cold Regions Hydrology High-Resolution Observatory (CoRe H2O) and NASA's proposed Snow and Cold Land Processes (SCLP) missions. This award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Michigan has previously received federal contract and grant awards from agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and National Institutes of Health to conduct a variety of research and development services.
