- This federal contract award to the University of Oklahoma (OU) is for research to assimilate data from the upcoming GOES-R satellite into an ensemble-based numerical weather prediction model. The goal is to enhance short-term probabilistic forecasts of tornado-producing storms. The $346,734.75 grant, awarded by NASA, will allow OU to develop tools to reliably assimilate GOES-R satellite data, including radiances, cloud property retrievals, and atmospheric motion vectors, along with traditional...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to demonstrate the value of using high-resolution satellite data from the next-generation GOES-R satellite to improve forecasts of severe convective storms. The $343,152.86 grant will fund research that aims to show how assimilating GOES-R atmospheric motion vectors and convective initiation products into a state-of-the-art storm-scale ensemble...
- The University of Oklahoma (OU) has been awarded a $1,003,305 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Dynamics and Chemistry of the Tropical Tropopause Layer and Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange (DCOTSS) project. The grant will fund a team of three individuals, including the principal investigator Dr. Cameron Homeyer, to participate in the field project and address several science questions related to the transport of trace gases and composition of the...
- This is a $113,113.55 federal contract awarded by NASA to the University of Oklahoma to study the inner core dynamics of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand the role of vortex Rossby waves in tropical cyclone intensity changes and precipitation distribution, using data from NASA instrumentation including the ER-2 Doppler radar, High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler, dropsondes, and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite. The findings will be...
- This is a $324,907.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oklahoma (OU) to conduct a research project on meteorology and computer science. The project will be led by Principal Investigators Dr. Cameron Homeyer from the School of Meteorology and Dr. Amy McGovern from the School of Computer Science, with a co-advised graduate student. The award has a performance period ending on July 12, 2025. The University of Oklahoma, operating as the...
- This is a $525,705.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oklahoma for a research project titled "The Impacts Fundamental Science Objectives." The project aims to characterize the spatial and temporal scales of snowbands in Northeast U.S. winter storms, understand the underlying dynamic, thermodynamic, and microphysical processes, and apply this knowledge to improve remote sensing and modeling of snowfall. The University of...
