This federal contract award to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, is for a NASA Earth Venture Class mission called CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System). The $746,686 grant is for research to improve the assimilation of CYGNSS delay-Doppler map (DDM) observations into hurricane forecast models. This will involve extending empirical models relating DDMs to wind speed and direction, and demonstrating the direct assimilation of DDM data into a standard...
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 Purdue University is for $111,981.00 to provide non-personal services for the collection of surface meteorological and precipitation data. The contract was awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to support the agency's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) and its VORTEX-SE program, which researches severe weather in the southeastern United States. The contract was awarded on a sole-source...
This $90,000.00 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution, to conduct research on agricultural drought, which is described as one of the most severe natural disasters affecting many aspects of life and the environment. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. Purdue University, as the prime contractor, will leverage its expertise in areas such as agricultural...
This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted to Purdue University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the subseasonal to seasonal variability pattern in the midlatitudes.
