This federal contract award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU), a private research university, is for a research grant with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to characterize changes in the cryosphere (frozen areas of the Earth's surface) from 1980 to present, quantify the effects of elevation-dependent warming on the cryosphere, and develop seasonal forecast products. The $194,345 grant, awarded on November 2, 2016, is part of NASA's broader "QUANTIFYING HYDROLOGIC...
This federal contract award, valued at $235,207.34, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The contract supports a research project focused on utilizing satellite and field data to study precipitation and microphysical processes, particularly for mixed-phase and frozen precipitation, in order to improve cloud microphysical parameterizations in...
This federal contract award, valued at $360,839.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for research into improving the accuracy and reliability of global snowfall retrievals from satellite-based passive microwave observations. The effort aims to develop a deep neural network model for detecting different snowfall types, which will help optimize the Goddard Profiling (GPROF) algorithm used in the Global...
This federal contract award, NNX16AM05G, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to develop a cloud, precipitation, and aerosol climatology for the Southern Ocean. The $537,705.00 grant is focused on studying the vertical and horizontal structure, as well as microphysical properties, of clouds, precipitation, and aerosols in the Southern Ocean and their relationship to the regional meteorology. This...
This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University on July 30, 2024. The grant is for the project "ALL-WEATHER MONITORING OF THE VARIABILITY OF SURFACE WATER AND LAKE ICE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE" with a completion date of July 30, 2024. This is a research grant, and there is no set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University is a private research university with experience supporting...
This is a $174,980.83 grant awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research to advance the science of retrieving snowfall rates from the Ku, Ka, and Ku/Ka band radars on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. The research team will evaluate GPM retrieval algorithms by comparing them to in-situ aircraft...
This federal award is a grant to the University of Washington from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, with a potential value of $101,747. The grant is for research to analyze data collected during the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign, which was conducted to validate measurements from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The research will focus on three key areas: (1) quality control and processing of...
This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to use OLYMPEX field data, satellite simulators, and unique surface instrumentation to improve cloud microphysical parameterization in weather and climate models. 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, with ID NNX16AE85G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the funding agency) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to continue development and integration of nonspherical snow and melting particle models. The primary objectives are to extend the database of snow particles, simulate melting of particles, and introduce the bulk single-scattering properties into a combined algorithm framework for testing radiative consistency...
This federal contract award is a grant for $262,479.00 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, a non-profit organization and 1862 land grant college. The goal of the research project is to develop improved algorithms for passive retrievals and forecasts of snowfall using data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. The research builds on prior...
