This $75,000.00 federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY), a non-profit educational organization. The contract supports research to elucidate the relationship between tropospheric synoptic events, vertical wave activity flux, and sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs). The project utilizes NASA's Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) dataset to examine the tropospheric triggers for SSWs, which can influence weather patterns weeks after their occurrence. The research aims to improve the predictability of SSWs and contribute to NASA's goal of enhancing weather and extreme weather event forecasting capabilities. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
