- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $423,688.00 grant to the University of Washington (UW) for research on snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) estimation using commercial optical satellite imagery. The research aims to develop a capability to assess snow depth and SWE on a regional scale, addressing the limitations of existing methods that rely on sparse in-situ measurements or low-resolution remote sensing. UW will utilize an...
- This is a federal grant award from a civilian agency to the University of Washington (UW) for $133,576.46 to conduct research on improving cloud-snow discrimination and understanding the snow energy balance in mountains using satellite data. The results will be important for guiding future satellite mission design and will be communicated to the NASA International Snow Working Group. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. UW is a prominent public research university...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AL59G, was granted to the University of Washington by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $568,294.00 grant funds research to develop a global snow monitoring mission concept by combining field measurements with modeling. The research aims to address the critical science question of where, why, and by how much global seasonal snow stores are changing. The project utilizes recent advancements in modeling, data...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) under the NASA Shared Services Center is a Cooperative Agreement with a ceiling value of $90,485.00. The contract is for a "Citizen Science Campaign to Validate Snow Remote Sensing Products", which will leverage UW's existing database and web services to engage citizen scientists in collecting snow depth and snow crystal data across the Pacific Northwest. This data will be used to validate NASA's remote sensing products...
- This is a $105,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The contract is focused on improving the characterization of snow water equivalent (SWE) across regional and continental scales using passive microwave (PMW) brightness temperature (TB) observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) instrument. The objective is to decouple non-SWE related signals from the PMW TB data to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $93,594.06, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The contract is a training grant and aims to utilize satellite-based hydrologic observations to study temporal variations in water stored in reservoirs globally. This research supports a key science question for the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, which will provide unprecedented...
This is a $120,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to improve snow water equivalent (SWE) modeling in forested regions using remote sensing data. The contract is focused on deriving forest metrics from Landsat imagery and assimilating canopy snow presence/absence from the MODIS FSCA product into hydrologic models to better represent forest-snow interactions. This will help increase the fidelity of hydrologic models in forested areas, which is critical for applications like global climate modeling, hydrologic forecasting, and hydroelectric planning. The contract has no set-aside designation, and UW is the prime contractor. As a leading research university, UW has a history of securing prime federal contract and grant awards across various disciplines to support government agencies.
