This federal contract award, NNX17AH66G, was granted to Texas A&M University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $317,692.31 grant will fund research to explore relationships between lightning and environmental conditions using satellite data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the International Space Station, as well as environmental data from the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for...
This $299,903.20 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to study the relationship between lightning activity and the intensity and structure of thunderstorms. The research will leverage data from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the International Space Station to characterize thunderstorms in the tropics, mid-latitudes, and high-latitudes, and support the development of applications for the Geostationary...
This is a $367,672 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research using observations from weather satellites like Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), and CloudSat. The research will diagnose vertical precipitation structures and latent heating profiles associated with synoptic-scale meteorological systems, as well as evaluate how well climate models capture these large-scale...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $158,493.03 grant for research to the University of Washington on January 30, 2019. This grant is a follow-on study to a previous NOAA grant, in which the University of Washington participated in the NOAA GOES-R Cal/Val Team to validate and analyze data from the new space-based NOAA lightning location instruments, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS). The research involves comparing...
This federal contract award to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is for a research project titled "Evolution of Lightning Energetics and the Relationship to Severe Weather." The $298,893 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-R satellite. The research aims to develop new algorithms to better utilize GLM data and relate lightning activity to storm dynamics...
This federal contract award to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC), a member of the Texas A&M University System, supports research related to the Validation of GPM Precipitation Retrievals Under Different Precipitation Regimes. The overarching goal is to understand the physical differences between precipitation systems and quantify their effects on satellite estimation. The $634,796.00 grant will be used to expand and improve the University of Utah Precipitation Feature...
This is a research grant awarded by NASA to Texas A&M University, with a ceiling value of $228,682.42 and a completion date of February 29, 2020. The grant aims to 1) adapt the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulator Package (COSP) to compare climate model precipitation processes to observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Radar (DPR), and 2)...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the use of spaceborne lightning observations to improve satellite rainfall estimation and global lightning modeling. The $404,302.16 grant will fund three main research objectives: 1) validating lightning flash rate estimates from the International Space Station Lightning Imaging Sensor (ISS-LIS) and the Geostationary Operational...
This federal contract award, NNX16AD24G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas Tech University System for three years of work related to the validation of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-R operational geostationary meteorological satellite. The GLM will provide continuous observations of lightning activity from geostationary orbit, significantly enhancing scientists' ability to study the role of lightning in severe...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University for $282,754.96 to assess the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. The research will evaluate the performance of the DPR's convective-stratiform rain classification algorithms in the tropics and higher latitudes, and apply latent heating algorithms developed for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) to the GPM...
