This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459), aims to enhance the short-term wildfire forecasting capability of NOAA's Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS). The $700,000 project, awarded to Northeastern University, has three key objectives: 1) Implement a new parameterization in the RRFS/Unified Forecast System (UFS) that couples fire and meteorology to account for...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Weather and Air Quality Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.459) provides $1,300,194 to develop and validate the WARN-on-Forecast System for Smoke (WOFS-SMOKE). The project aims to improve short-term (0-6 hour) forecasts of wildfire smoke to support emergency managers in their response efforts. Key objectives include utilizing satellite data to assimilate wildfire and smoke...
This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), aims to provide quantitative information on the potential impacts of fires to augment the National Weather Service's (NWS) impact-based decision support services. The $906,945.00 award, with a period of performance from Aug 1, 2023 to Jul 31, 2026, will be used by the University of Oklahoma to build statistical relationships between historical NWS forecasts and observed...
The Trustees of Princeton University, through its Office of Research and Project Administration, was awarded a $753,047 Cooperative Agreement by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The funding is provided under NOAA's Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405), which facilitates cooperation between government, university, and nonprofit institutions to increase the effectiveness of environmental science research...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $170,629 cooperative agreement to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Cooperative Institute program (CFDA 11.405) from March 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024. The University will improve NOAA's air quality forecasts of ozone and particulate matter, especially from forest fires, by reducing systematic errors in the new forecast model through analysis of past analogous fire environments. This error correction technique will be...
This Cooperative Agreement award, worth $332,064, was granted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Weather and Air Quality Research federal grant program (CFDA 11.459). The award will fund research and development to improve the representation of aerosols in the Thompson-Eidhammer (TE) microphysics scheme used in NOAA's Next Generation 3-km Storm-Scale Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS). The key products to be delivered include: Incorporating a more realistic...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $201,163 project grant to George Mason University under the Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459). The grant supports the NAQFC Community Emission Testbed project to accelerate the transition of emission research findings to operational applications through community collaborations. The project will advance emission modeling and computing to improve air quality forecasts and warnings for the protection of life,...
The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded Sonoma Technology, Inc., a for-profit consulting firm, a $552,645 Cooperative Agreement under the Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459) to evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and usefulness of NOAA's existing subseasonal fire weather forecasts for stakeholder decision-making. The award will assess the impact of post-processing techniques such as calibration, statistical downscaling, and...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405), will develop and prototype data ingest, processing, and delivery capabilities for observations from fire weather fixed and remote sites.
