- 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 $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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $342,895 grant to The Ohio State University to prepare for the production of a soil moisture product from the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission. NISAR will provide global data on land surface dynamics critical to monitoring ecosystem carbon and water cycles. The project will develop algorithms to estimate soil moisture and crop biomass using NISAR's L-band radar measurements, and support NISAR mission development...
- This is a firm fixed-price federal contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc., a for-profit research organization based in Lexington, Massachusetts. The $449,914 contract is to use passive and active microwave data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission as part of a larger study to better understand the evolution and features of flash drought and flash recovery events. The contractor...
- This federal contract award to Purdue University, a non-profit research institution, supports research into the use of signals of opportunity (Soop) reflectometry to retrieve profile soil moisture data at different depths. The aim is to develop new remote sensing techniques to measure root-zone soil moisture, which is critical for agricultural applications and understanding hydrologic and carbon cycles. The $291,036 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AM99G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on leveraging NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data to improve understanding of carbon-water-climate interactions. The $491,643.36 grant aims to investigate how soil moisture controls evapotranspiration and carbon fluxes, and to evaluate key model parameters that influence soil moisture state and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $293,973.68, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct research on plant water use strategies across different climates, topographies, and biomes. The project aims to improve crop and land surface model predictions by quantifying the strategies plants employ to regulate their water use, which is critical for accurately modeling soil moisture dynamics and the productivity of natural...
- This is a federal grant award to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The $397,649.43 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is for research to develop a joint data assimilation system that can simultaneously incorporate precipitation data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and soil moisture data from the Soil...
- This federal contract award to The Ohio State University, with a ceiling value of $104,871.57, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to analyze the impacts of the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission on understanding global runoff patterns. The project aims to determine how current in-situ and remote sensing data can explain variability in runoff characteristics across global watersheds, and how the SWOT mission's river discharge...
- 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...
