- This is a $134,529.72 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University on September 1, 2017. The goal of the research is to develop a bispectral retrieval technique using sub-millimeter and thermal infrared wave radiometry to accurately measure ice water path (IWP) and ice particle effective diameter (D_eff) in clouds. This research aims to address discrepancies in IWP values in general circulation models due to...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University in the amount of $392,539.38. The award is for the development of a new theoretical framework to infer ice crystal surface roughness from multi-angular sensor measurements, such as those from the Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) and Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on the Terra satellite. The research aims to quantify the degree of...
- This federal contract award to Texas A&M University, valued at $79,991.09, supports research efforts for NASA's ICECube mission. The research project will focus on studying the radiometric and polarimetric properties of ice clouds at 874 gigahertz, which could help advance scientists' understanding of ice clouds and their role in climate change. The specific tasks include computing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties of ice crystals, developing a bulk ice cloud model, and...
- This is a $431,012.22 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) to Texas A&M University to validate the "consistency hypothesis" related to the use of ice cloud microphysical models in satellite remote sensing and climate modeling. The research will involve analyzing data from multiple NASA satellite instruments, including MODIS, CERES, and AIRS, along with CALIPSO lidar data and MERRA atmospheric reanalysis, to assess the impact of using consistent ice cloud models...
