Grant For Research NNX15AI16G

This $210,184 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsored Research and Programs Division to empower data management, diagnosis, and visualization of cloud-resolving models (CRMs). CRMs are atmospheric numerical models that can resolve clouds and cloud systems at very high spatial resolution, playing critical roles in many NASA satellite missions and science projects. However, the large data volume and complexity of CRMs have made it challenging to visualize, diagnose key processes, and evaluate against NASA's field campaign and satellite data. This grant aims to address these challenges and enable rapid progress in CRM research through improved data management and analysis capabilities. IIT, a renowned PhD-granting research university, has extensive experience partnering with government agencies on technical research and development. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
