- This $758,436 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Dakota (UND) supports the university's participation in the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX), which is part of NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. Under this grant, UND will deploy its Cessna Citation aircraft to collect in-situ measurements of cloud microphysics and atmospheric conditions in coordination with remote sensing observations from NASA...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to study high-resolution modeling, validation, and analysis of atmospheric waves and their influence on winds in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. The $97,863.81 grant will fund a focused study to improve the simulation of small-scale waves, including orographic and non-orographic gravity waves, and their effects on the tropical lower...
- This federal award is a grant to the University of Washington from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, with a potential value of $101,747. The grant is for research to analyze data collected during the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign, which was conducted to validate measurements from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The research will focus on three key areas: (1) quality control and processing of...
- This is a $174,980.83 grant awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research to advance the science of retrieving snowfall rates from the Ku, Ka, and Ku/Ka band radars on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. The research team will evaluate GPM retrieval algorithms by comparing them to in-situ aircraft...
- This is a $594,905.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for a project titled "CONTINUOUS MULTI-SPECIES VOC MEASUREMENTS ABOARD THE NASA DC-8 AIRCRAFT DURING THE ASIA-AQ FIELD CAMPAIGN" and has a period of performance through April 30, 2026. UCAR, a non-profit organization, will provide specialized...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to participate in the Olympic Mountain Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign. The purpose of the field campaign is to provide ground-based validation support for observations from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory satellite, which is a joint effort between NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The grant has a ceiling...
- This is a $104,999.48 grant award to Colorado State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Major Program Code "VALIDATION OF GPM PRECIPITATION RETRIEVAL ALGORITHMS ACROSS THE PRECIPITATION CONTINUUM". The purpose is to extend previous research done at CSU under the Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) program, by testing precipitation measurement algorithms across diverse field campaign datasets including IFLOODS, OLYMPEX, and GPM...
- This is a $363,134 grant awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the managing organization for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to support NASA's Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) program. IMPACTS is an Earth Venture Suborbital-3 mission focused on improving snowfall remote sensing and modeling to advance winter storm prediction capabilities. Under this three-year grant,...
- This $195,233.00 federal grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) for the Atmospheric Wave Experiment. The grant has a performance period through January 30, 2027 and does not have a set-aside designation. UCAR, a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities, manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and provides a range of specialized atmospheric research and development services to...
This is a $154,216.19 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to deploy the Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS), also known as a dropsonde, on the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission Olympic Mountain Ground Validation Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign from November 10 to December 22, 2015. The AVAPS instrument provides in-situ vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, pressure, and winds of the atmosphere with high vertical resolution, enabling the measurement of atmospheric conditions over remote areas. This grant supports fundamental atmospheric research and does not have a set-aside designation.
