This is a research grant awarded by NASA to Texas A&M University, with a ceiling value of $228,682.42 and a completion date of February 29, 2020. The grant aims to 1) adapt the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulator Package (COSP) to compare climate model precipitation processes to observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Radar (DPR), and 2)...
This is a $367,672 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research using observations from weather satellites like Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), and CloudSat. The research will diagnose vertical precipitation structures and latent heating profiles associated with synoptic-scale meteorological systems, as well as evaluate how well climate models capture these large-scale...
This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University. The objective is to improve the understanding and prediction of convective systems associated with tropical propagating modes in the East Pacific using NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite data and the MERRA-2 reanalysis. The project aims to characterize the dominant tropical...
This federal contract award, valued at $389,350.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC), a Hispanic-Serving and Minority-Serving Institution within the Texas A&M University System. The award, titled "UPGRADE PRECIPITATION FEATURE DATABASES AND ASSESS UNCERTAINTIES IN PMM PRODUCTS," will fund research and development efforts to enhance precipitation measurement products and databases. As a...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University for $282,754.96 to assess the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. The research will evaluate the performance of the DPR's convective-stratiform rain classification algorithms in the tropics and higher latitudes, and apply latent heating algorithms developed for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) to the GPM...
This federal contract award, valued at $250,994.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC). The project aims to build a long-term record of the size and intensity of precipitation systems from satellite observations, with the goal of better understanding the natural variability of storm systems globally and regionally. This fundamental climate research will help differentiate genuine climate change from natural...
This is a $315,536.99 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to develop algorithms that quantify the severity of convective weather systems using passive microwave satellite observations. The project aims to better utilize these observations in monitoring global intense convection, which is currently underutilized despite their relationship to convective intensity. TAMU-CC, a member of the Texas...
This federal contract award, valued at $303,312.99, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University, a public land-grant research institution in College Station, Texas. The award supports a research project that aims to investigate the relationship between precipitation, cloud cover, and large-scale climate patterns. Specifically, the research will leverage data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite to study how...
This is a $526,696.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) for a research project titled "VALIDATION OF RAIN DROP SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL RAIN SYSTEMS AT NORTHWEST COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO." The grant is for a period of 5 years, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This award does not have a set-aside designation. TAMU-CC is a public...
This is a $459,895 grant award to Colorado State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research to improve the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's rainfall retrieval algorithms. The objective is to better understand and mitigate errors in the passive microwave rainfall retrieval from the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) sensor. Key focus areas include improving precipitation detection over ocean and land, especially in mountainous regions, and...
