- This is a grant awarded by NASA to Florida State University (FSU) for a research proposal to study convective processes in the tropics under the Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics (WAAD) funding opportunity. The research aims to improve understanding and modeling of hurricane genesis and intensity change, utilizing data assimilation techniques that combine wind data from various sources like DAWN lidar, dropwindsondes, CYGNSS, and precipitation estimates. The project also plans to investigate...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,213,200.16, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the impacts of aerosols on the microphysical and dynamical processes of tropical convection and cold pools, and their environmental modulation. The research aims to enhance scientific understanding of these complex aerosol-cloud-environmental interactions, which will help improve representation of these processes...
- This federal contract award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is for research to improve understanding of tropical convection and its relationship with extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in the tropics and extratropics. The $320,484 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has a February 2020 completion date. UMD will analyze data from satellite missions like TRMM, GPM, CloudSat, and MODIS to characterize precipitation and cloud systems,...
- This federal contract award is a research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida's Central Florida Remote Sensing Laboratory (CFRSL), in collaboration with Data and Image Processing Consultants (DIPCON). The $395,860 grant supports analytical work to refine methodologies for the intercalibration of brightness temperature radiance measurements from passive microwave radiometer sensors across the satellites of the Global...
- This contract award to Colorado State University (CSU) is a $134,648.51 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The award supports research to clarify the relationship between tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and the distribution and strength of TC rainband convection. The research approach involves utilizing a large database of TC-centered satellite passive microwave observations and NASA's Goddard Profiling Algorithm (GPROF) and...
- 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 federal contract award to Colorado State University (CSU) for $654,996.92 is to enhance the current passive microwave retrieval algorithm for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite constellation. The work involves four specific tasks: 1) improving deep convective precipitation estimates using convective available potential energy (CAPE), 2) better accounting for extratropical precipitation, 3) resolving issues with non-linear rainfall regressions, and 4) restructuring the...
- This federal contract award to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) Division provides funding for a research project focused on utilizing data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellite mission to study tropical waves, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and tropical cyclones. The project aims to create superior-quality, global 4x daily gridded ocean surface wind products from CYGNSS data for use by NASA and the broader...
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $299,232 firm fixed price definitive contract to Colorado State University Sponsored Programs Division for a TEMPEST-based CubeSat microwave sounder for temperature and moisture profiling study. The contract was awarded under Broad Agency Announcements GEO and LEO for instrument concepts and integrated mission concepts to support needs for regional real-time weather data, space weather data collection, and non-real time global...
- This federal contract award (NNX15AK98G) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The contract supports the Geostationary Coastal and Air Pollution Events (GEO-CAPE) satellite mission, which aims to gather data on aerosols, ozone precursors, air pollution transport, and coastal ecosystem...
