- This is a $565,019.15 grant awarded by NASA to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany to investigate how incorporating high resolution soil moisture data from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite can improve short-term weather and wind energy forecasts. The objective is to use the Land Information System (LIS) and Unified Weather Research and Forecasting (NU-WRF) models to better understand the role of model physics, soil...
- This is a $468,277 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to study the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on low-volume road networks. The grant is part of the Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) mission, which aims to provide global freeze/thaw observations to understand the relationship between atmospheric conditions and subsurface moisture and freeze-thaw processes. The study will leverage existing road freeze-thaw...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Technological University is a $729,288 grant for research to assess the utility of NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data for monitoring organic soil moisture in boreal and arctic ecosystems. The goal is to improve models for fire danger prediction by comparing the SMAP data to ground-based measurements, weather-based indices, and other soil moisture data sources. The research...
- This is a $551,450.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), a non-profit organization that administers sponsored programs and research for the SUNY system. The grant is for a project titled "The Cryosphere's Response to Increasing Global Temperatures," which aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by enhancing the understanding and modeling of glacier and ice sheet...
- This is a $145,624 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) for a research project to improve understanding of the global carbon cycle using data from NASA's SMAP and OCO-2 satellite missions. The overall goal is to leverage these complementary satellite observations to provide quantitative insights on ecosystem functioning, enable earlier detection and prediction of carbon cycle-climate feedbacks, and reconcile top-down and bottom-up...
- This is a $77,692 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to improve the retrieval of vegetation parameters from satellite data. The goal is to develop methods that incorporate advanced aerosol retrieval techniques to better model soil reflectance and improve the accuracy of retrieving leaf area index for agricultural monitoring, especially for crops with low vegetation density....
- This is a $280,415.69 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University for research to improve estimates of hyperresolution root zone soil moisture. The research aims to develop a high-resolution hydrological modeling system to better characterize soil moisture and its impact on local weather, climate, and water resources management. The project will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, as well as...
- This is a $522,289.60 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to support the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) science mission. The SMAP mission was originally intended to provide soil moisture estimates at a 10 km spatial resolution with a 3-day revisit interval, but the mission's radar malfunctioned in 2015, leading to the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $482,189 grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop multi-decadal time series of elevation and mass balance changes of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research will utilize the Surface Elevation Reconstruction and Change (SERAC) detection approach to analyze historical laser altimetry data, IceBridge airborne laser altimetry observations, and CryoSat-2 radar altimetry...
