- This federal contract award to The University of Iowa is for the deployment of ground-based precipitation instrumentation to support the 2015 Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) Validation Experiment (SMAPVEX15) in southeastern Arizona. The goal is to provide high spatial and temporal resolution observations of rainfall processes to support the development of calibrated precipitation estimates. This award, valued at $106,597.00, is a grant for research, with no set-aside designation. The...
- This federal contract award supports the use of data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission and variable bedrock depth data to evaluate and improve land surface models. The $504,063.36 grant was awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and land grant institution, to address four key questions related to the spatiotemporal variability of SMAP data and its integration with land models. The work will focus on utilizing SMAP data for process...
- 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 $522,289.60 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), to support the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) science mission. The SMAP mission was originally intended to provide soil moisture estimates at a 10 km spatial resolution with a 3-day revisit interval, but the mission's radar malfunctioned in 2015, leading to the...
- The University of Arizona, operating under the Arizona Board of Regents, received a $303,864 grant award from NASA for research on snowfall analysis in high latitudes to advance the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) precipitation monitoring system. The award, issued on February 4, 2022, carries an ultimate completion date of February 3, 2027, and is classified as a research grant with no set-aside designation. Performance will occur at the University of Arizona's Tucson...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $108,449.27 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to create a reference precipitation dataset using data from various Earth observation satellites. The goal is to identify, quantify, diagnose, and reduce uncertainties in the precipitation observational record, with a focus on high latitudes and oceanic regions. This research grant aligns with NASA's work in Earth science and climate...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AN02G, was granted to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a public research university, to enhance the spatial resolution of soil moisture data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. The $310,897.75 grant aims to apply the Radiometer Scatterometry Image Reconstruction (RSIR) technique to improve the SMAP radiometer brightness temperature data, which could lead to more accurate global soil moisture estimates. The research is intended to...
- This is a federal grant award to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The $397,649.43 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is for research to develop a joint data assimilation system that can simultaneously incorporate precipitation data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and soil moisture data from the Soil...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project titled "Tracking Precipitation Biases from Simulated Mesoscale Convective Systems to Energetic and Dynamic Ice Processes". The award has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. The University of Arizona is the prime contractor for this grant, and there is no set-aside designation....
