- This is a $658,439 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Iowa for a research project exploring the utility of Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data for real-time flood forecasting. The project aims to investigate how soil moisture variability, as measured by SMAP and the university's hydrological model, can be used to improve flood prediction over intensively managed agricultural landscapes in Iowa. The research leverages...
- This federal contract award to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is for the deployment of ground-based precipitation instrumentation for the 2015 Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) Validation Experiment (SMAPVEX15) in Arizona. The goal is to collect enhanced hydrometeorological observations to provide research-quality ground truth data for developing high-resolution, spatially distributed precipitation estimates to support the synergistic use of SMAP and NASA's Global...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AL99G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Iowa State University of Science and Technology (Iowa State University). The $101,366.00 grant supports the university's contributions to the SMAPVEX16-IA field experiment, which is designed to provide data to help improve soil moisture retrieval from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite. Iowa State University and the University of Iowa will make measurements of key...
- This $119,889 contract was awarded by NASA to Iowa State University of Science and Technology (Iowa State University) to improve soil moisture retrieval from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. SMAP aims to provide soil moisture data to support weather forecasting, agriculture, and flood/drought management. This contract will utilize a modified retrieval algorithm that separates the contributions of vegetation water content and soil surface roughness, with the goal of improving...
- This federal contract award to Iowa State University of Science and Technology (Iowa State University) is for a research project focused on using NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data to monitor agricultural productivity. The contract, worth $464,576.99, aims to develop a new satellite product that can quantify above-ground biomass and net primary production in major agricultural regions. The project will also determine the relationship between SMAP measurements and...
- This federal contract award to the University of Iowa, valued at $339,556.00, is to evaluate and enhance the utility of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite data for air quality and public health applications. The work includes evaluating and improving the use of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aerosol product for monitoring PM2.5 air quality, transferring the estimates to the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (EPHTN), and evaluating the...
- This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The University of Iowa. The $78,406.00 grant is for research to be conducted by Dr. Jun Wang and a graduate research assistant, working with Principal Investigator Dr. Omar Torres. The tasks involve sensitivity analysis of aerosol layer height retrieval from the O2 A band and assisting with O2 A aerosol layer height retrieval over the ocean surface. This research will leverage the university's expertise and...
- This federal contract award to The University of Iowa, valued at $740,170.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency. The contract is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. The university will participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research related to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The contract also...
