The $163,861 grant will support research to better characterize ice particle size distributions and microphysical processes, which are critical components in weather and climate modeling. The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $134,019.62, was granted to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) by the U.S. government's Shared Services Center. The contract is a grant for research focused on examining the microphysical properties of electrified snowfall events using satellite and model data. The research aims to improve understanding of the interrelated cloud electrification and precipitation processes, and how they relate to broader thermodynamic and weather system...
- This federal contract award, valued at $402,026.00, was granted to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university registered as a non-profit educational institution and state-controlled institution of higher learning. The contract, which is not set aside for a specific business classification, is for a research grant titled "LINKING CONVECTIVE PROCESSES AND SATELLITE LIGHTNING MEASUREMENTS: NEW INSIGHTS FROM MODERN ANALYSIS OF CLOUD, PRECIPITATION, AND LIGHTNING...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to improve space weather predictions through the synergy of simulations, data analysis, and machine learning. The contract is a grant for research with a performance period ending on August 31, 2026. UAH is a public research university that provides a range of research, engineering, space science, and information technology services to federal agencies,...
- This federal contract award to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) supports the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) and its use of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS), a global climate model, to produce high-resolution atmospheric data for weather forecasting, subseasonal to seasonal forecasts, and climate research. The $99,999.93 cooperative agreement has a completion date of June 8, 2023. UAH is a public research university with expertise in areas such as...
- This $404,531.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) supports research and development to improve the 45th Weather Squadron's ability to provide accurate and timely convective wind warnings. The goal is to achieve 30-minute lead times for 35-knot winds and 60-minute lead times for 50-knot winds, given the typical 45-60 minute lifecycle of convective cells. UAH, a public research university, has...
- This federal contract award of $286,490.89 was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university. The contract is a grant for research focused on "ADVANCING ACCESS TO GLOBAL FLOOD MODELING AND ALERTING USING THE PDC DISASTERAWARE PLATFORM AND REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGIES". The contract is not set aside for any specific business classification. UAH is a non-profit organization, educational...
This federal contract award, valued at $187,376.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to support research and development related to analyzing severe convective storms using data from the next-generation GOES-R weather satellite. The contract will leverage the advanced capabilities of the GOES-R satellite's instruments, including the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), to characterize severe storm evolution and develop satellite-derived products that could improve severe weather detection and forecasting. The award does not utilize a set-aside designation. UAH, as the prime contractor, will conduct this research to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) weather forecasting and research missions.
