This federal contract award, valued at $661,509.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs. The contract is focused on advancing the understanding of the spatial, energetic, and precipitation characteristics of convection on a global scale.
The research leverages data from the CloudSat and CALIPSO satellite missions, as well as ground-based radar observations, geostationary cloud property datasets, and regional atmospheric modeling system (RAMS) simulations. The goal is to create a global three-dimensional climatology of convection, examine relationships between ice water path, cloud forcing, surface precipitation, and convective core characteristics, and use the model output to bridge observations and the processes linking precipitation, ice mass, and cloud radiative effects associated with convection. This work directly supports NASA's Earth science research objectives.
The contract does not have a set-aside designation and runs through August 31, 2019.
