This federal contract is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The grant will fund a project to investigate and understand the impact, uncertainty, and value of using satellite products like Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM)/Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)/TRMM...
This federal contract award to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) Division provides funding for a research project focused on utilizing data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellite mission to study tropical waves, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and tropical cyclones. The project aims to create superior-quality, global 4x daily gridded ocean surface wind products from CYGNSS data for use by NASA and the broader...
This is a $300,369 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for research to assimilate data from the NASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) satellite and the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) into the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) new-generation non-hydrostatic global forecast model. The goal is to improve the prediction of tropical convection and associated weather phenomena. The research...
This $105,000 federal contract award to Purdue University is focused on investigating the impact of land surface conditions on the structure, intensity, and rainfall characteristics of landfalling tropical cyclones. The project aims to develop a better process-scale understanding of the interactive mechanisms between land and tropical cyclones, and to explore how incorporating improved representation of antecedent land state using satellite data can enhance the prediction of landfalling tropical...
This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC20K1647, was granted to Purdue University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research aligned with the agency's goal of improving weather and extreme weather event prediction capabilities using satellite data. The $133,245.11 grant, awarded on September 1, 2020, will support this research effort through August 31, 2023. Purdue University is a well-established prime contractor and grant recipient, supporting a wide range of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $521,484.27 grant to The Ohio State University to support the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) project. CYGNSS has the primary objectives of quantifying wind fields with improved temporal and spatial sampling during the evolution of tropical cyclones and measuring all-weather wind speed within the eyes of the cyclones, in order to enhance the understanding of cyclone physics and improve cyclone forecasting....
This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center aims to better understand air-sea interaction and improve tropical cyclone (TC) prediction using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission and a high-resolution coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean model. The $477,792 grant will support research to: 1) evaluate CYGNSS wind and wave data using field observations, 2)...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, an institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The $135,000.00 grant is for research related to tornadoes, which are one of nature's most hazardous phenomena, causing extensive property damage and casualties every year. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, Purdue University has provided a wide...
This is a $493,452.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University. The grant is for research focused on using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) constellation to improve estimates of key hurricane storm parameters, which can lead to improved modeling of hurricane storm surge. This research aims to supplement and enhance the wind speed measurements typically obtained from the...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0712, was granted to The Ohio State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $445,329 grant is for research to develop and validate new storm parameter estimation approaches using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) to improve storm surge predictions from the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) hydrodynamic model. The research aims to demonstrate the utility of GNSS-R...

This federal contract award to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, is for a NASA Earth Venture Class mission called CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System). The $746,686 grant is for research to improve the assimilation of CYGNSS delay-Doppler map (DDM) observations into hurricane forecast models. This will involve extending empirical models relating DDMs to wind speed and direction, and demonstrating the direct assimilation of DDM data into a standard hurricane forecast model through an observation system simulation experiment (OSSE). The research aims to enhance the utility of CYGNSS, which was launched in 2016 to observe tropical storm development using an 8-satellite constellation and GNSS reflectometry. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
