The project aims to incorporate satellite-based lightning data into the Precipitation Features (PF) database maintained by NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. Key aspects involve developing algorithms...
- This federal contract award to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is for a research project titled "Evolution of Lightning Energetics and the Relationship to Severe Weather." The $298,893 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-R satellite. The research aims to develop new algorithms to better utilize GLM data and relate lightning activity to storm dynamics...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas Tech University System, which is doing business as Texas Tech University. The contract is a grant for research to survey a 16 square degree region of the Galactic Bulge every two weeks using the Swift satellite. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, has a potential value of $107,590.02, and a completion date of April 11, 2022. Texas Tech University System has...
- This federal contract award, valued at $270,209.92, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to conduct research on the detection and applications of continuing current in lightning using the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the upcoming Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-R satellite. The research aims to leverage NASA's space-based...
- This is a grant awarded by a U.S. government agency to Texas Tech University System (Texas Tech University) to conduct the "Swift Galactic Bulge Monitoring Survey: Thirds Epoch" over a three-year period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The total ceiling value of the grant is $103,201.77. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through open competition. Texas Tech University, a Hispanic Serving Institution and comprehensive public research...
This federal contract award, NNX16AD24G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas Tech University System for three years of work related to the validation of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-R operational geostationary meteorological satellite. The GLM will provide continuous observations of lightning activity from geostationary orbit, significantly enhancing scientists' ability to study the role of lightning in severe weather, tropical storms, and climate. This award, with a ceiling value of $224,758.01, continues previous NASA support to Texas Tech University for this work, which is listed as part of the formal validation plan for the GOES-R GLM. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Texas Tech University System, a public research university designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution, has extensive experience conducting federal research and providing specialized services across diverse scientific fields. The university has received both prime and sub-contract awards from various agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security, Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of Energy, for projects ranging from cotton fiber testing to severe weather research and quantum information science education.
