This is a grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado (CU) to advance the technology of the Apache OODT (Object Oriented Data Technology) software framework. The objective is to enable operators of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) networks to provide hydrology data, such as soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation water content, to the GNSS H2O system. The project aims to build an infrastructure to automatically ingest GNSS observations, evaluate station metadata, and produce hydrologic products. It will also develop a portal for visualization, mining, and data sharing of the GNSS water products. The $267,531.65 grant, awarded on June 1, 2015, does not have a set-aside designation and is part of NASA's "Data-Centric Technologies" program.
