- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to support research and development for the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The contract, valued at $757,031.89, aims to address key challenges in mapping water bodies using the mission's Ka-Band Radar Interferometer (KARIN) sensor. UCLA will develop model-based approaches to accurately identify lakes, rivers, and...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will support pre-launch preparations and scientific development for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, a joint effort between NASA, CNES, and CSA. The $744,348 grant aims to establish calibration and validation sites, collect field and remote sensing datasets, and conduct studies on the impact of factors like vegetation and permafrost on SWOT data products. This work will contribute to SWOT's...
- This federal contract award, in the amount of $596,831.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The contract is a grant for research to help develop SWOT-based runoff data products for use in hydrologic modeling, particularly in areas with inadequate current measurements. The contract has no set-aside designation and is...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $135,000.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to demonstrate the applicability of 35 GHz Ka-band radar for mapping water surface inundation and elevation, and to investigate and quantify sources of absolute errors in water surface elevation estimates. This grant has a performance period ending on December 31, 2023. UCLA is the prime contractor for...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the mechanisms behind droughts and the coupling between ecosystem and water cycle over the Congo Basin. The study will leverage multiple NASA satellite datasets to fill a knowledge gap in this area. The award was made on September 1, 2020, and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. The contract is not designated as...
- This federal contract award, number 80NSSC22K0926, was granted to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The $619,628.00 grant is for a research project titled "SUBSEASONAL-TO-SEASONAL PREDICTION OF WINTER PRECIPITATION: DETERMINATION FROM INNOVATIVE SPATIOTEMPORAL ANALYSES OF OBSERVATIONS FOR FACILITATING IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES IN THE WESTERN U". The award, which has an ultimate completion date of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $353,970 grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to support research and development activities related to the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission. The tasks to be completed under this grant include implementing and testing a data assimilation framework, producing and evaluating SWOT Level 4 data products, testing the use of derived runoff products for hydrologic model calibration, and assessing...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a $349,327.62 grant for research to investigate the formation and variability of sea surface salinity maxima in subtropical oceans using data from the Aquarius satellite. The research will combine satellite measurements with Argo float data and numerical models to (1) identify the ocean processes governing the subtropical salinity maxima, (2) examine...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $461,399.50 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop a decision support system (DSS) that uses NASA satellite data, including Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) and land surface products, to optimize hydropower reservoir operations in Ethiopia and Tanzania. The objective is to improve medium-range streamflow and rainfall forecasts to increase energy production from existing hydropower systems while...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Office of Research Administration is for a research study to investigate the variability and impacts of the Southern Hemisphere super gyre, a newly identified deep ocean pathway that connects the subtropical gyres of the three major ocean basins. The $621,055.24 grant was awarded on April 4, 2016 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has a performance period ending on April 3,...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The contract supports a research study to assess the performance of different data assimilation approaches for inferring river discharge from surface water elevation measurements collected by the upcoming NASA/CNES Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, which is scheduled to launch in 2021. The study will use an observing system simulation experiment to evaluate the discharge estimation techniques in large river basins, accounting for biased forcing data and different assimilation methodologies. This research aims to advance the capability to infer river discharge from SWOT's global water surface elevation observations, which cannot directly measure discharge. The contract has no set-aside designation and will be performed at UCLA facilities in Los Angeles. The University of California system's State Controller's Office serves as the parent organization to UCLA on this award.
