This federal contract award is for the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), an optical lightning detection instrument on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) GOES-R-series meteorological satellites. The contract, valued at $127,942.19, was awarded to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university, to conduct research and development related to the GLM instrument. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. As a...
This federal contract award, valued at $270,209.92, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to conduct research on the detection and applications of continuing current in lightning using the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the upcoming Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-R satellite. The research aims to leverage NASA's space-based...
This federal contract award, valued at $187,376.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to support research and development related to analyzing severe convective storms using data from the next-generation GOES-R weather satellite. The contract will leverage the advanced capabilities of the GOES-R satellite's instruments, including the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), to...
This federal contract award, valued at $402,026.00, was granted to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university registered as a non-profit educational institution and state-controlled institution of higher learning. The contract, which is not set aside for a specific business classification, is for a research grant titled "LINKING CONVECTIVE PROCESSES AND SATELLITE LIGHTNING MEASUREMENTS: NEW INSIGHTS FROM MODERN ANALYSIS OF CLOUD, PRECIPITATION, AND LIGHTNING...
This $126,723 federal grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for research on the detection and analysis of hazardous convective storms. The project aims to leverage deep learning methods applied to geostationary satellite data, radar data, and lightning detection to improve the understanding and automated identification of critical convective storm features like overshooting tops and above-anvil cirrus plumes. This work supports several...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $158,493.03 grant for research to the University of Washington on January 30, 2019. This grant is a follow-on study to a previous NOAA grant, in which the University of Washington participated in the NOAA GOES-R Cal/Val Team to validate and analyze data from the new space-based NOAA lightning location instruments, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS). The research involves comparing...
This $404,531.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) supports research and development to improve the 45th Weather Squadron's ability to provide accurate and timely convective wind warnings. The goal is to achieve 30-minute lead times for 35-knot winds and 60-minute lead times for 50-knot winds, given the typical 45-60 minute lifecycle of convective cells. UAH, a public research university, has...
This federal contract award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, is for a project titled "Production of Energetic Emission and Acceleration of Particles in Thunderstorms: Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs)". The $75,000.00 award was made to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) on September 1, 2016, with a target completion date of April 3, 2020. The project seeks to differentiate between two proposed mechanisms for the creation of TGFs, which are high-energy...
This is a $422,245 grant awarded by NASA to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to conduct research on improving the forecasting of solar flares and their impacts on space weather. The grant is part of NASA's broader efforts to advance our understanding of solar activity and its effects on near-Earth environments. UAH, a public research university, has a strong track record of supporting government missions through research and engineering services under federal contracts and grants....
This federal contract award, valued at $74,596.79, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an agency of NASA) to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university. The award is for a grant to expand upon the First GBM TGF Catalog, which provided data on 4,144 Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs) and included lightning data from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). The Second GBM TGF Catalog will analyze an additional 5.7 years of data from the Gamma-ray...
