- This federal contract award, valued at $90,000.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oklahoma, operating through its Office of Research Administration. The contract is a grant for research related to "LANDFALLING TROPICAL CYCLONES (TCS) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOST IMPACTFUL EXCESSIVE PRECIPITATION EVENTS WORLDWIDE." The contract has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024 and was awarded on...
- This federal contract award to the University of Oklahoma (OU) is for research to assimilate data from the upcoming GOES-R satellite into an ensemble-based numerical weather prediction model. The goal is to enhance short-term probabilistic forecasts of tornado-producing storms. The $346,734.75 grant, awarded by NASA, will allow OU to develop tools to reliably assimilate GOES-R satellite data, including radiances, cloud property retrievals, and atmospheric motion vectors, along with traditional...
- This is a $688,603 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oklahoma (OU) for a research project titled "Investigating Surface Mechanical and Thermodynamic Forcing of Convective Development at the Continental-to-Maritime Transition Zone of West Africa." The award is not associated with a set-aside and runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. OU, a public research university, will serve as the prime contractor on this project,...
- This is a $299,915 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which operates the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The contract, with a performance period ending on April 30, 2027, is focused on studying the relationship between tropical cyclone rainfall intensity and vertical wind shear. UCAR, a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities, has a robust portfolio of federal...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $177,138.16 grant to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science to study the relationship between precipitation and environmental factors that influence tropical cyclone formation. The research aims to quantify the evolution of precipitation patterns in developing and non-developing disturbances across different ocean basins, and analyze the impact of precipitation on inner core thermodynamics....
- This federal contract award to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) division will investigate the use of CloudSat satellite data to improve the understanding of how convective structure affects tropical cyclone intensity changes. The $479,852.50 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will involve modeling and diagnostic analyses to determine if CloudSat reflectivity profiles and water content retrievals, combined with...
- This is a $998,119 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the University of Oklahoma (OU) to observe the formation and development of tropopause polar vortices in order to enhance the understanding of the dynamics and predictability of downstream high-impact weather systems. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 4, 2028. OU has a robust history of executing federal research and development contracts and grants across multiple scientific and technological...
- This is a $104,922.03 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for a project to improve the ability to predict Atlantic tropical cyclones. The goal is to use data assimilation techniques to incorporate satellite observations of aerosols, such as dust, into numerical weather prediction models in order to better simulate the impact of dust on tropical cyclone genesis and evolution. The project builds on...
- This $81,177 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the University of Oklahoma (OU) to lead a planning group for a spring field campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to study what information the new GOES-R satellite can provide on processes relevant to tornadogenesis. The campaign will involve the use of OU's mobile radars and the NASA ER-2 aircraft to collect simultaneous data in tornado-producing supercells, with the goal of determining whether...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center aims to better understand air-sea interaction and improve tropical cyclone (TC) prediction using data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission and a high-resolution coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean model. The $477,792 grant will support research to: 1) evaluate CYGNSS wind and wave data using field observations, 2)...
