The federal contract award NNX17AI63G, issued by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado, provides $514,468.00 in grant funding for a research project on the interannual variability and decadal change of upwelling and heat redistribution over the Indian Ocean. The project aims to utilize satellite altimeter data, in-situ observations, and advanced statistical tools to investigate the roles of climate modes in driving changes to Indian Ocean upwelling and upper-ocean heat...
This federal contract award, valued at $303,312.99, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University, a public land-grant research institution in College Station, Texas. The award supports a research project that aims to investigate the relationship between precipitation, cloud cover, and large-scale climate patterns. Specifically, the research will leverage data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite to study how...
This is a $526,696.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) for a research project titled "VALIDATION OF RAIN DROP SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL RAIN SYSTEMS AT NORTHWEST COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO." The grant is for a period of 5 years, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This award does not have a set-aside designation. TAMU-CC is a public...
This federal contract award, valued at $598,660.20, was granted to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) division by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract funds research to monitor and analyze the horizontal and vertical redistribution of heat in the ocean, using satellite and in-situ observations. The research aims to understand the processes behind the accumulation of heat in the subtropical South Pacific and...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University, a public land-grant research university, for advancing NASA's physical oceanography mission science through strategic community building. The award has a ceiling value of $558,471.00 and a period of performance ending on January 27, 2028. The contract is not set-aside and is awarded directly to Texas A&M University, which has extensive federal contract and grant award capabilities...
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi was awarded a $124,939 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct an evaluation of radio occultation sounding data collected by the GeoOptics Cicero constellation under Solicitation 22-CNVOE22-0050. As the prime contractor, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will leverage its Division of Research and Innovation to analyze meteorological data gathered by NASA's fleet of satellites through...
This is a $129,180.49 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) on September 1, 2017. The grant supports research to investigate the temperature and salinity response within the surface and thermocline stratification of the tropical Indian Ocean to variability described by the Indonesian Throughflow, a key ocean current system. To extend the...
This federal contract award, valued at $481,098.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to study the variability of the Leeuwin Current and the southern Indian Ocean. The project aims to understand the physical processes controlling the intraseasonal to interannual variability of the Leeuwin Current and its influence on the southern Indian Ocean, using satellite data, in-situ observations, and reanalysis products. This award supports two of the key themes of the Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2): boundary current dynamics, upwelling variability, and ecosystem impacts, as well as circulation, climate variability, and change. The contract is not designated as a set-aside and is part of NASA's Physical Oceanography program, which encourages the use of multiple satellite observations for oceanographic research.
