This is a federal grant award to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), which serves as the fiscal administrator for external funding at the City University of New York (CUNY). The $362,904.09 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), funds the development of a multi-sensor calibration algorithm to improve the retrieval of land surface microwave emissivity. The goal is to create a well-calibrated, multi-year, multi-satellite product of instantaneous land surface emissivity across a range of microwave frequencies. This research aims to better separate the effects of the atmosphere and land surface on microwave brightness temperature measurements, enabling more accurate retrieval of geophysical parameters like soil moisture, snow cover, and vegetation. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As the parent organization, CUNY has a history of conducting federal contract and grant-funded research across scientific and technological domains.
