- This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University. The objective is to improve the understanding and prediction of convective systems associated with tropical propagating modes in the East Pacific using NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite data and the MERRA-2 reanalysis. The project aims to characterize the dominant tropical...
- This is a $109,452.95 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research to better understand the processes controlling the variability of enhanced water vapor in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) region over the North American Monsoon region, which is observed by the Aura...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University in the amount of $725,892.13. The grant is for a research project to study microphysical processes that control water and clouds in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), the role of convection in generating cirrus and moistening the lower stratosphere, and the water budget of the lowermost stratosphere. The research will use models and observations from NASA's Aura...
- 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 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant award of $586,429.00 to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, will fund a 4-year research project to study the seasonal and interannual variations of tropical deep convective cloud systems. The research aims to better characterize convective cloud properties and their relationships to large-scale ocean and atmospheric conditions using data...
- This is a $383,861.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to conduct research on transient quasi-zonal jets in the ocean and their impact on the Earth's climate system. The grant, which has a performance period ending on August 24, 2022, is part of NASA's Ocean Surface Topography Science Team program and aims to provide a better understanding of mesoscale variability in the ocean and its role in shaping the general...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $183,469.47 grant for research to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University). The research aims to study the transition from shallow to deep convection over tropical oceans using satellite data from Aqua, Suomi NPP, and other sources. The objectives are to demonstrate the feasibility of computing a multi-sensor radiative heating-induced moistening term, and to map twice-daily satellite...
- The University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects was awarded a $492,767 research grant by a civilian federal agency effective September 1, 2021, with completion targeted for August 31, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports research focused on understanding diurnal variation of precipitation and winds over the Maritime Continent region under the influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) using satellite multi-sensor observations and cloud-permitting numerical simulations with...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oklahoma to study the impact of deep moist convection on the composition of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). The $283,784.61 grant supports the use of ground-based radar observations, satellite data, and atmospheric modeling to examine how convective processes influence the distribution of trace gases like ozone and water vapor in the UTLS, which is important...
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AN69H, was granted by a civilian agency, the Shared Services Center, to the Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University). The $104,999.70 Training Grant is part of the agency's "QUANTIFYING AND UNDERSTANDING LINKAGES BETWEEN CLOUDS AND THE GENERAL CIRCULATION" major program. The purpose of the contract is to obtain a quantitative understanding of the processes through which the general circulation of the...
This is a $90,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to better understand variability in the tropical upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) and its influence on tropical deep convection. The project utilizes NASA satellite datasets, reanalysis products, and a NASA general circulation model to characterize UTLS variability attributable to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) across sub-seasonal to inter-annual timescales. It aims to improve theoretical understanding of these key modes of variability in the tropics, inform model development, and potentially improve forecast skill on sub-seasonal to seasonal timescales. The contract has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2020 and does not use a set-aside designation.
