- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to support research and development for the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The contract, valued at $757,031.89, aims to address key challenges in mapping water bodies using the mission's Ka-Band Radar Interferometer (KARIN) sensor. UCLA will develop model-based approaches to accurately identify lakes, rivers, and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The contract supports a research study to assess the performance of different data assimilation approaches for inferring river discharge from surface water elevation measurements collected by the upcoming NASA/CNES Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, which is scheduled to...
- This federal contract award, in the amount of $596,831.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The contract is a grant for research to help develop SWOT-based runoff data products for use in hydrologic modeling, particularly in areas with inadequate current measurements. The contract has no set-aside designation and is...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) provides $668,427.00 in funding for research related to the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. SWOT is a joint satellite mission between NASA, the French space agency CNES, the Canadian Space Agency, and the UK Space Agency that will observe the 2-D structure of sea surface height on 15-120 km wavelength scales, potentially transforming understanding of ocean dynamics at these scales. The contract, awarded by the...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is a $448,437 grant to the University of Washington (UW) to provide three key services to support the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Science Definition Team (SDT) in its second term from 2016-2020. The first service is ground-truthing of SWOT elevation and river width data over the Indus and Ganges-Brahmaputra river basins in Asia. The second service is providing SWOT...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AH05A, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as the prime contractor. The $3,209,408.52 cooperative agreement was awarded on June 11, 2015 with a completion date of June 10, 2020. The purpose of this contract is to produce "Earth System Data Records (ESDRs) of suitable quality to support long-term trend analysis (hence, Climate Data Records, or CDRs) for the longest length...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $353,970 grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to support research and development activities related to the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission. The tasks to be completed under this grant include implementing and testing a data assimilation framework, producing and evaluating SWOT Level 4 data products, testing the use of derived runoff products for hydrologic model calibration, and assessing...
- The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography was awarded an $482,888 research grant on August 5, 2024, to conduct a multi-system, multi-timescale analysis exploring estuarine sea level fluctuations and dynamics using the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The work will be performed in La Jolla, California, with an ultimate completion date of August 4, 2028. This non-set-aside grant supports fundamental oceanographic research aimed at...
- This is a $359,711 cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) division. The contract is part of JPL's broader role as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) supporting NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) across Earth science, planetary science, heliophysics, and astrophysics. Under this specific delivery order,...
- This is a $350,947.23 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The objective of the research is to provide guidance to the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) project to achieve the best possible measurements of ocean surface slope for applications in marine geophysics. The SWOT altimeter mission has the potential to significantly improve gravity accuracy and spatial...
This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will support pre-launch preparations and scientific development for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, a joint effort between NASA, CNES, and CSA. The $744,348 grant aims to establish calibration and validation sites, collect field and remote sensing datasets, and conduct studies on the impact of factors like vegetation and permafrost on SWOT data products. This work will contribute to SWOT's ability to map inundation areas, retrieve river discharge, and generate new scientific insights. The award involves no set-aside and is part of the first SWOT Science Team, with UCLA collaborating with the Water Survey of Canada. As the prime grantee, UCLA will leverage its research capabilities and partnerships to advance this NASA science priority. The award is funded by the Shared Services Center, which supports civilian federal agencies.
