- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to evaluate a snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval algorithm using combined active and passive microwave observations. The goal is to develop an improved SWE retrieval approach that leverages the high sensitivity of radiometry to SWE and the higher spatial resolution of radar. The research utilizes data from multiple snow remote sensing campaigns,...
- This is a $472,528 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to develop a terrestrial snow mission planning tool. The objective is to create a simulation environment that can quantify the utility of satellite-based snow observations for research and applications. This will leverage NASA's existing Land Information System (LIS) and Trade Space Analysis Tool for Constellations (TAT-C) to conduct observing system...
- This is a $120,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to improve snow water equivalent (SWE) modeling in forested regions using remote sensing data. The contract is focused on deriving forest metrics from Landsat imagery and assimilating canopy snow presence/absence from the MODIS FSCA product into hydrologic models to better represent forest-snow interactions. This will help increase...
- This is a $254,498.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research related to quantifying hydrologic and cryospheric changes and associated mechanisms. The scope of work includes constructing databases of ground-based snow depth and satellite-based passive microwave measurements, designing numerical experiments, analyzing model outputs, and supervising a Ph.D. student. The grant is part of a larger...
- This is a $134,649.18 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Washington on September 1, 2018, with a completion date of August 31, 2021. The grant funds research to investigate the extent, resolution, and accuracy of remotely-sensed snow depth observations in complex topography, as precipitation measurements in mountainous regions are challenging. The research will evaluate the ability of simulated snow depth...
- This federal contract award (NNX16AF17G) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for a research project to test the hypothesis that merging microwave and gravimetric satellite measurements with an advanced land surface model can improve the accuracy and reduce uncertainty in estimating snow water equivalent, soil moisture, groundwater, and terrestrial water storage across regional and continental scales. The...
- This $312,443.60 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to estimate snow emissivity over the United States. The project will integrate multi-frequency passive microwave data, land surface temperature, and albedo measurements into a data assimilation framework using the Land Information System (LIS). The goal is to improve snow emissivity estimates by incorporating remote sensing data and snowpack-microwave...
- The University of Maryland, College Park received a $360,839 grant award (21-PMMST21-0086) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on snowfall type classification for improving passive microwave falling snow estimation and retrieval. The project, which began on March 1, 2022 and concludes on December 31, 2026, addresses critical gaps in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's Goddard Profiling (GPROF) algorithm for detecting snowfall from space-based observations. Current...
- This is a $140,410.98 grant award to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports research to investigate constraints on the variability and spatial correlation structure of hydrometeors in the atmospheric column, and the impacts of hydrometeor variability on GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) estimation of falling snow water equivalent rates. The work leverages data from GPM...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $423,688.00 grant to the University of Washington (UW) for research on snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) estimation using commercial optical satellite imagery. The research aims to develop a capability to assess snow depth and SWE on a regional scale, addressing the limitations of existing methods that rely on sparse in-situ measurements or low-resolution remote sensing. UW will utilize an...
