This federal contract award, valued at $365,613.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The award is for a project to develop a national index to quantify the variability and change of extratropical cyclone activity (ECA) based on sea level pressure variance statistics. This index can serve as a climate indicator for the National Climate Assessment (NCA). The project aims to assess the observed trends in ECA and their impacts on precipitation, weather extremes, and regional climate. The work will leverage NASA-generated reanalysis data and satellite observations, and involve evaluating climate model simulations to verify the relationships between ECA and its climate/weather impacts. The project does not have a set-aside designation. As a major research institution, Stony Brook University frequently receives federal funding through contracts and grants to conduct scientific research across a wide range of disciplines.
