This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $249,956.00 to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to support the COWNET project. COWNET is a mobile suite of C-band and X-band radars, weather instrumentation vehicles, and associated equipment that will be used to study a variety of high-impact weather phenomena, from tornadoes to snowfall. The COWNET instruments and facilities will also be leveraged for outreach, education, and training activities to engage younger generations in atmospheric and geoscience research. This award enables UAH to make these specialized research assets available to the broader scientific community for a wide range of applications, including studies of severe weather, convection, precipitation processes, and weather modification. The project period runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027.
