This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to Morgan State University, a historically Black university, to support contributions to the Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) Science Team. The $283,603.23 grant funds the development of (1) global modeling and assimilation methodologies to utilize all-sky Global Microwave Imager (GMI) radiance data in the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5) 4D-Ensemble Variational (4D-EnVar) atmospheric data assimilation system, (2) prototypes of all-sky GMI radiance data assimilated global atmospheric and surface analysis products, and (3) global downscaling methodologies to produce fine-scale precipitation products based on GEOS-5 analyses that assimilate GMI radiance data. This effort builds upon an ongoing, funded research project at the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) to assimilate cloud- and precipitation-affected satellite radiance data in the GEOS-5 system. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
