This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AG95G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The award, valued at $299,993.18, is a grant for research to investigate the effects of trough-induced vertical wind shear on tropical cyclone intensity change. The research aims to clarify the mechanisms by which shear interacts with the tropical cyclone vortex, including the role of vortex tilt and convective response, as well as the observational evidence for shear-induced ventilation. The awarded project is part of NASA's Hurricane Science Research Program and will leverage in situ and remotely sensed observations from recent field campaigns. The award does not have a set-aside designation. RF-SUNY, a non-profit educational corporation, frequently receives federal research grants and contracts across various fields, leveraging its expertise in atmospheric sciences and other disciplines.
