This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park, supports research to improve precipitation estimates from cross-track passive microwave sensors in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite constellation. The $264,077.03 grant will contribute to NASA's Precipitation Measurement Mission by providing more comprehensive precipitation observations from operational satellite instruments. The research...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0905, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Maryland, College Park. The objective of this $119,477.08 grant for research is to enhance existing precipitation algorithms for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission constellation, with a focus on retrieving light precipitation like snow and drizzle. The University of Maryland, College Park is a state-controlled institution of higher learning that...
This federal contract award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is for research to improve understanding of tropical convection and its relationship with extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in the tropics and extratropics. The $320,484 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has a February 2020 completion date. UMD will analyze data from satellite missions like TRMM, GPM, CloudSat, and MODIS to characterize precipitation and cloud systems,...
This is a $408,529.79 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is to further develop the Precipitation Retrieval and Profiling Scheme (PRPS), a computationally efficient algorithm for retrieving precipitation data from cross-track satellite sensors. The research aims to extend PRPS to additional sensors, improve the underlying databases, enhance database access, and validate the retrievals. This...
This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) in the form of a $687,658.66 cooperative agreement. The award provides funding for UMD to generate long-term satellite-based precipitation data records using multiple well-founded retrieval techniques. This will help establish a benchmark dataset to monitor the performance of more complex precipitation retrieval schemes and...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $428,162 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a research project titled "GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION SYSTEMS: UNCERTAINTIES AND TRENDS". The grant, which has a completion date of July 18, 2026, will fund research to study the global patterns and trends of convective precipitation systems. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation. UMD is the prime...
This federal contract award (NNX16AF17G) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for a research project to test the hypothesis that merging microwave and gravimetric satellite measurements with an advanced land surface model can improve the accuracy and reduce uncertainty in estimating snow water equivalent, soil moisture, groundwater, and terrestrial water storage across regional and continental scales. The...
This federal contract award, valued at $214,677.94, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The award is part of the "ASSIMILATION OF ALL-WEATHER GMI AND ATMS OBSERVATIONS INTO HWRF" major program, which aims to improve numerical weather prediction (NWP) by incorporating microwave cloud observations from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) and Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K1361, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD).
