This federal contract award, valued at $520,034.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for a research project focused on improving the performance and applicability of the Goddard Profiling Algorithm (GPROF), a key component of NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The research aims to develop methods for generalizing validation statistics collected in specific regions, allowing GPROF performance to be...
This federal contract award, valued at $187,499.82, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to support research on improving operational forecasts of rapidly intensifying hurricane events. The work will focus on expanding the capabilities of the Hurricane version of the Goddard Profiling Algorithm (H-GPROF) by adding estimates of latent heating, exploring the use of H-GPROF data as a predictor of rapid intensification, developing...
This federal contract award to Colorado State University (CSU) is for research related to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The $470,584 grant will fund three main objectives: validating and improving GPM precipitation algorithms, investigating the three-dimensional characteristics and lifecycle of extratropical cyclones using GPM data, and evaluating global precipitation systems using GPM and high-resolution climate models. The research directly addresses four of the...
This is a $367,584 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for research in support of the Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) program. The primary research objectives include studying the variability of drop size distribution and column microphysics related to tropical convection, as well as validating the microphysical parameterizations in the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model using in-situ and radar data. The research...
This is a $399,897.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University for research on the "Dynamics of Tropical Convective Organization in Weak Balanced Rotation." The grant, which runs through July 31, 2026, will support Colorado State University's ongoing work in meteorology, climate science, and tropical cyclone forecasting. As a land-grant university with expertise in environmental and agricultural sciences, Colorado...
This is a $439,499.25 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Colorado State University (CSU) for research related to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The research has three main objectives: 1) Improving GPM rainfall estimation by linking drop size distribution to environmental variables, 2) Validating GPM rainfall and snowfall estimates against ground-based observations in complex terrain using OLYMPEX data, and 3)...
This federal contract award, valued at $339,151.26, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for research related to understanding the role of wind-induced surface flux variability in the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO). The work will leverage data from NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission, along with precipitation data and cloud system resolving...
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) for a project titled "Relating Lightning Flash Characteristics to Tropical Cyclone Intensity Change and Convective Evolution." The $92,985.00 contract has a performance period running from September 21, 2023 to September 20, 2026. CSU, a public land-grant university, will be conducting research through its Sponsored Programs division to study the...
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 is a $134,970.63 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Colorado State University (CSU) to study the role of clouds in forcing interannual to decadal tropical sea surface temperature (SST) variability driven by extratropical atmospheric variability. The goal is to improve understanding of how cloud feedbacks contribute to this pathway connecting extratropical and tropical climate processes, which may impact long-term...
