- This $119,889 contract was awarded by NASA to Iowa State University of Science and Technology (Iowa State University) to improve soil moisture retrieval from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. SMAP aims to provide soil moisture data to support weather forecasting, agriculture, and flood/drought management. This contract will utilize a modified retrieval algorithm that separates the contributions of vegetation water content and soil surface roughness, with the goal of improving...
- This federal contract award to Iowa State University of Science and Technology (Iowa State University) is for a research project focused on using NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data to monitor agricultural productivity. The contract, worth $464,576.99, aims to develop a new satellite product that can quantify above-ground biomass and net primary production in major agricultural regions. The project will also determine the relationship between SMAP measurements and...
- This is a $658,439 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Iowa for a research project exploring the utility of Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data for real-time flood forecasting. The project aims to investigate how soil moisture variability, as measured by SMAP and the university's hydrological model, can be used to improve flood prediction over intensively managed agricultural landscapes in Iowa. The research leverages...
