This is a $100,815.45 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University. The grant supports three key activities: Refinement of NASA's Level-2 cloud mask, cloud-top property, and cloud optical property datasets from the MODIS sensors on the Terra and Aqua satellites. This includes completing ongoing refinement work and developing a new infrared optimal estimation algorithm to replace the current CO2-slicing heritage...
This is a $109,644 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to assess PlanetIQ's Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation soundings in the neutral atmosphere. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026. TAMU-CC, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, has a strong track record of conducting research and providing technical services...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University in the amount of $725,892.13. The grant is for a research project to study microphysical processes that control water and clouds in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), the role of convection in generating cirrus and moistening the lower stratosphere, and the water budget of the lowermost stratosphere. The research will use models and observations from NASA's Aura...
This is a $92,578.61 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research on water vapor concentration, cloud abundance, and their impact on the Earth's climate and stratospheric chemistry. The research aims to use measurements from various satellite instruments, including SAGE II/III, CALIOP, OMPS-LP, and Aura MLS, as well as transport and microphysical modeling, to better understand the processes controlling clouds and...
This is a $367,672 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research using observations from weather satellites like Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), and CloudSat. The research will diagnose vertical precipitation structures and latent heating profiles associated with synoptic-scale meteorological systems, as well as evaluate how well climate models capture these large-scale...
This is a $315,536.99 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to develop algorithms that quantify the severity of convective weather systems using passive microwave satellite observations. The project aims to better utilize these observations in monitoring global intense convection, which is currently underutilized despite their relationship to convective intensity. TAMU-CC, a member of the Texas...
This is a $2,595,534.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct a field measurement campaign using the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft. The research will investigate the dynamics and chemistry of the summer stratosphere over central North America, combining in-situ aircraft observations with satellite, radar, and model data to understand the role of convection in the composition and dynamics of the lower...
This is a research grant awarded by NASA to Texas A&M University, with a ceiling value of $228,682.42 and a completion date of February 29, 2020. The grant aims to 1) adapt the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulator Package (COSP) to compare climate model precipitation processes to observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Radar (DPR), and 2)...
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi was awarded a $124,939 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct an evaluation of radio occultation sounding data collected by the GeoOptics Cicero constellation under Solicitation 22-CNVOE22-0050. As the prime contractor, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will leverage its Division of Research and Innovation to analyze meteorological data gathered by NASA's fleet of satellites through...
This is a $128,150.96 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) for a research project titled "Integrating Satellite-Based Lightning Observations with GPM Constellation Measurements". The project aims to incorporate satellite-based lightning data into the Precipitation Features (PF) database maintained by NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. Key aspects involve developing algorithms...
