Exercised Contract Values: Max ($11,354,278,884.00 USD), Total ($15,838,724,987.48 USD)
Potential contract values: Max ($23,999,880,167.00 USD), Total* ($30,135,298,718.69 USD)
* The total 'potential' contract value figure requires the most care -- and, ideally, manual analysis -- as there can be double-counting between the potential value of a parent award (e.g., an Indefinite Delivery Contract) and one of its subawards (e.g., a Delivery Order). But, due to disk space constraints, we cannot store all contract information and have only uploaded subaward linkages back to mid-2019. For this reason and others, for the sake of consistency we compute the sum of the potential contract values in the naive manner with the understanding that it is usually only a slight overestimate of a number which is, even when carefully computed, often a very loose upper bound on eventually exercised options values.

| Description | THE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR SPACE MEDICINE OPERATIONAL AND RESEARCH PROVIDERS ARE UNIQUE. AS PARTNERS IN THIS SPACE MEDICINE FOCUSED RESIDENCY PROGRAM, NASA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH (UTMB) HAVE A 21-YEAR TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESSFULLY SELECTING AND TRAINING OUTSTANDING PHYSICIANS WHO PROGRESS TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT NASA AND MEET NEEDS OF THE U.S. SPACE PROGRAM. NOT ONLY ARE THE RESIDENTS TRAINED FOR SPACE MEDICINE SUPPORT AT NASA, THEY ALSO COMPLETE THE CORE COMPETENCIES SET BY THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL ON GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME), LEADING TO CERTIFICATION IN AEROSPACE MEDICINE BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE. UTMB OFFERS GRADUATE COURSES AS PART OF THE APPROVED MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH (MPH) WITH AN AEROSPACE MEDICINE TRACK AND PRACTICUM ACTIVITIES. OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS JOURNAL CLUB AND AEROSPACE GRAND ROUNDS ARE ESSENTIAL TO SPACE MEDICINE PRACTITIONERS, AND ARE AVAILABLE LOCALLY AND REMOTELY FOR PHYSICIANS AT ALL THE NASA CENTERS, SATELLITE LOCATIONS, AND STREAMED LIVE. THIS ALLOWS PRACTICING PHYSICIANS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THEIR CLINICAL AND ACADEMIC SKILLS AND MEET THE CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME) REQUIREMENTS OF STATE LICENSING BOARDS. UTMB ALSO COORDINATES OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR NASA PHYSICIANS AND RESIDENTS, SUCH AS VOLUNTEER SERVICE PROJECTS, PROVIDING MEDICAL SUPPORT FOR THE WINGS OVER HOUSTON AIRSHOW AND THE HOUSTON MARATHON, CME TRAINING SUCH AS ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT, BASIC LIFE SUPPORT, AND PRE-HOSPITAL TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT TRAINING, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADJUNCT FACULTY APPOINTMENTS, MEDICAL CREDENTIALING, AND TEACHING. NO OTHER ACADEMIC INSTITUTION PROVIDES ACADEMIC AND PRACTICUM ACTIVITIES SO CLOSELY TIED TO MEDICAL OPERATIONS AND SCIENCE SUPPORT IN THE SPACE PROGRAM. UTMB ALSO MAINTAINS AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH MILITARY AND FEDERAL AVIATION-RELATED INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE USAF SCHOOL OF AEROSPACE MEDICINE, WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, THE US ARMY SCHOOL OF AVIATION MEDICINE, AND THE FAA CIVIL AEROSPACE MEDICAL INSTITUTE THAT BENEFIT NOT ONLY NASA BUT THE MILITARY AND CIVILIAN CREWMEMBERS THESE PHYSICIANS EVENTUALLY SUPPORT. RESIDENT PHYSICIANS SUPPORTED BY THIS AGREEMENT ARE TRAINED IN ALL ASPECTS OF AEROSPACE MEDICINE, AND UPON GRADUATION ARE ABLE TO FUNCTION IN ENVIRONMENTS AS DIVERSE AS GENERAL AVIATION, COMMERCIAL AVIATION, SPACE FLIGHT, AND IN GOVERNMENTAL AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. IN PREPARATION FOR FUTURE INCREASED COOPERATION WITH THE COMMERCIAL SPACEFLIGHT INDUSTRY, RESIDENTS ARE GIVEN EXPERIENCE IN THIS ARENA AS WELL. GRADUATES OF THE AEROSPACE MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM ARE IN DEMAND, AND IT IS PREDICTED THAT THIS DEMAND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE ISS AND ON TO FUTURE EXPLORATION MISSIONS. TO DATE, 30 OF THE 40 PROGRAM'S GRADUATES HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED BY NASA OR ONE OF ITS PRIMARY CONTRACTORS. THE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP PRODUCES GRADUATES THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY PRODUCTIVE WHEN HIRED. NASA AND UTMB HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THIS PRODUCTIVE PARTNERSHIP IN TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SPACE MEDICINE PHYSICIANS TO LEAD THE FIELD IN RESEARCH AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT. UTMB PROPOSES TO CONTINUE PRODUCING GRADUATES TRAINED AND BOARD ELIGIBLE IN AEROSPACE MEDICINE, WITH AN EMPHASIS IN SPACE. UTMB IS REQUESTING NASA'S CONTINUED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION TRAINING IN AEROSPACE MEDICINE. IN ORDER TO FACILITATE LONG TERM PLANNING, UTMB IS SEEKING A NEW FIVE YEAR COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. | ||||||||||||

| Description | SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING INTEREST HAS RECENTLY SIGNIFICANTLY SHIFTED BEYOND THE LARGE PLANETS AND MOONS, WHICH GRAVITATIONALLY DOMINATE THEIR RESPECTIVE LOCALITIES, TO THE SMALLER, IRREGULARLY SHAPED, COMETS AND ASTEROIDS ROAMING THE SOLAR SYSTEM AROUND US. DUE TO THE MULTI-BODY DYNAMICS AND HIGHLY NON-SPHERICAL GRAVITY FIELDS COMMON TO SMALL BODIES, STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAJECTORY DESIGN AND RE-DESIGN AROUND SMALL BODIES CAN BE A SLOW, GROUND-BASED PROCESS REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT INPUT FROM SPECIALISTS. AT THE SAME TIME, THE SMALLER SCALES AND VAST NUMBER OF ASTEROIDS AND COMETS OFTEN REQUIRES RAPID RECALCULATION OF ORBITS AND TRAJECTORIES. PART OF THE SOLUTION TO THESE CONFLICTING REALITIES IS THE FUNDAMENTAL ABILITY TO RAPIDLY DESIGN TRAJECTORIES AROUND SMALL BODIES. BY APPLYING AND ENHANCING FAST GRAVITY FIELD TECHNIQUES, IMPLEMENTING GRID SEARCHES AND ROOT SOLVERS TO FIND USEFUL PERIODIC AND QUASI-PERIODIC ORBITS, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH AIMS TO CREATE AND INNOVATIVELY USE A NEW CATALOGUE OF TRAJECTORIES AROUND SMALL BODIES OF INTEREST TO ENABLE RAPID TRAJECTORY DESIGN IN THOSE ENVIRONMENTS. THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH INTO VARIOUS METHODS OF GENERATING GRAVITY FIELDS FOR SMALL, IRREGULARLY SHAPED BODIES, THESE METHODS HAVE NOT YET BEEN APPLIED TO A LARGE SET OF MISSION CANDIDATE BODIES IN VARIED DYNAMICAL ENVIRONMENTS, NOR HAVE THEY BEEN ADAPTED OR ENHANCED TO SUIT THE NEEDS OF THE RAPID TRAJECTORY DESIGN PROBLEM AT SMALL BODIES. AMONG THESE ARE: 1) ADAPTIVE COMPUTATION OF THE POTENTIAL FIELD MUST BE FAST AND EFFICIENT ENOUGH TO ALLOW RAPID EXPLORATION OF THE TRAJECTORY DESIGN SPACE, SCIENCE INSTRUMENT AND EXPERIMENT SIMULATIONS, AND IN-MISSION TRAJECTORY RE-DESIGN AND, 2) ACCELERATION VALUES MUST ADHERE CLOSELY ENOUGH TO REALITY TO PROVIDE ACCURATE TRAJECTORIES, EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF DYNAMICS UNCERTAINTY AND THE NEED FOR RIGOROUS MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS. THEREFORE, THE RESEARCH TEAM SEEKS TO STUDY ALTERNATIVE IDEAS FOR BASIS FUNCTIONS AND INTERPOLATION TECHNIQUES, AND IMPLEMENT THE BEST SOLUTION FOR A BROAD SET OF SMALL BODIES OF INTEREST. THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL ALSO INVESTIGATE INTERPOLATED GRAVITY FIELDS FOR THE PARTICULAR CASE OF ONBOARD USE, SINCE THE SPACECRAFT ONLY REQUIRES A SMALL LOCAL FIELD REPRESENTATION TO BE STORED ONBOARD. TO ACHIEVE SPEEDUPS IN FIELD CALCULATION AND TRAJECTORY DESIGN TIMES, MODERN PARALLEL COMPUTING TECHNIQUES AND UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION ANALYSIS WILL BE LEVERAGED. MODERN SMALL-BODY ORBIT AND TRAJECTORY DESIGN METHODS DO NOT TYPICALLY INCLUDE HIGHER-ORDER SHAPE IRREGULARITIES IN THEIR DYNAMICAL MODELS, NOR DO STUDIES DEVELOPING MORE DETAILED GRAVITY FIELD MODELS CONDUCT COMPREHENSIVE ORBIT AND TRAJECTORY SEARCHES USING THOSE MODELS. TO ADDRESS BOTH OF THESE ISSUES, THE RESEARCH TEAM PLANS TO CONDUCT AN EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH FOR STABLE ORBITS AND TRAJECTORIES AROUND A WIDE SET OF CANDIDATE SMALL BODIES, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FAST ACCURATE GRAVITY FIELD CALCULATION DEVELOPED IN THE FIRST OBJECTIVE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORBIT ARCHIVE WILL BE TO EASE THE RAPID TRAJECTORY DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION PROCESSES ON THE GROUND AND ONBOARD A SPACECRAFT BY PROVIDING A LARGE SET OF GOOD INITIAL GUESSES FOR TARGETED TRAJECTORIES. THIS ARCHIVE OF ORBITS (ANALOGOUS TO KEPLERIAN ORBITS IN THE TWO BODY PROBLEM), WILL ALSO PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR SCIENCE ORBITS, AND TRANSFERS BETWEEN SCIENCE ORBITS. BY EXTENDING THE TOPICS OF FAST ACCURATE GRAVITY FIELD MODELING AND RAPID SMALL-BODY TRAJECTORY DESIGN AND COUPLING THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THEM IN A CATALOGUE OF STABLE ORBITS AND TRAJECTORIES AROUND REAL SMALL BODIES, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL EXPAND AND ENABLE MORE RAPID AND THOROUGH SEARCHES OF THE ORBIT DESIGN SPACE AROUND SMALL BODIES. THIS INNOVATION IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD LOWERING NASA MISSION COSTS BECAUSE IT ALLOWS PRE- AND POST-LAUNCH QUICK REDESIGNS OF TRAJECTORIES, AS WELL AS FASTER EVALUATION OF TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN PROPOSED MISSION SCENARIOS. | ||||||||||||

| Description | AS DEMANDS ON SPACE NETWORK SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO INCREASE, NEW APPROACHES ARE NEEDED TO FULFILL THE END-TO-END RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS. LONG SEPARATION DISTANCES, COMPLEX ORBITAL MECHANICS, AND NODE TRAJECTORIES PRODUCE DRASTIC COMMUNICATION CONDITIONS WITH EXTREME DELAYS, RANDOM DISRUPTIONS, AND SEVERE DISTURBANCES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO AVOID. THE AIM OF PROJECT IS TO DESIGN AND CREATE COGNITIVE GATEWAYS (CG) THAT WILL AUTONOMOUSLY DECIDE HOW TO ROUTE DATA OBJECTS OVER DIFFERENT SPACE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES. EACH CG LEARNS THE BEST NEXT-HOP DECISION FOR DATA OBJECTS USING OBSERVATIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, CROSS-LAYER METRICS, PAST PERFORMANCE, LINK SCHEDULES, PRE-ASSIGNED RULES, AND USER REQUIREMENTS OF END-TOEND QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TYPES. THE PROJECT DEVELOPS FAST LEARNING METHODS BASED ON RECURRENT SPIKING NEURAL NETWORKS (SNN) OF RANDOMLY CONNECTED NEURONS (RESERVOIR) AND REINFORCEMENT LEARNING THAT ADJUST, AT RUNTIME, THE SYNAPTIC STRENGTH OF A READOUT LAYER. SNNS PROVIDE THE LEARNING AND DECISION-MAKING FUNCTIONS FOR CGS. JOINTLY, DISTRIBUTED CGS CREATE A COGNITIVE ROUTING LAYER THAT CAN INTEGRATE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR SPACE MISSIONS, INCLUDING CONVENTIONAL RADIO, COGNITIVE RADIO, DELAY-TOLERANT NETWORKS, AND FREE OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS. THE PROJECT ALSO DEVELOPS AND EVALUATES A COMPOSABLE SYSTEM PROTOTYPE. THE DESIGN IS FLEXIBLE TO ALLOW SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS AND FUTURE EXTENSIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, A SOFTWARE SNN COMPONENT COULD BE SWAPPED WITH HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION ON A NEUROMORPHIC PROCESSOR FOR GREATER SPEED AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY. THE VALIDATION IS CARRIED OUT ON A LABORATORY TESTBED THAT EMULATES THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF SPACE COMMUNICATIONS AND CONDITIONS. THE EVALUATION IS COMPLEMENTED BY A THOROUGH HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING SIMULATION TO OBTAIN ACCURATE EVIDENCE OF THE EFFICACY OF THE PROPOSED METHODS UNDER A LARGER NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CONDITIONS AND PARAMETERS. CREATING AUTONOMY IN THE NETWORK THROUGH COGNITION CAN POTENTIALLY BRING MANY BENEFITS TO FUTURE SPACE MISSIONS. IT CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE ERRORS AND THE NEED OF HUMAN ASSISTANCE IN THE RECURRENT TASK OF DECIDING OPTIMAL NETWORK ROUTES AND PARAMETERS AFTER A CHANGE IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL OR OPERATIONAL STATE OF THE NETWORK. ALSO, BECAUSE A COGNITIVE NETWORK CAN RECONFIGURE ITSELF WHENEVER NEEDED TO ACHIEVE ITS ASSIGNED GOALS, THIS LEADS TO IMPROVED RELIABILITY AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS ASSET EFFICIENCY. | ||||||||||||

ORGANISMS WITHIN BIOFILMS ARE QUITE RESISTANT TO TRADITIONAL ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMICALS AND CAN FOUL WATER TREATMENT FILTERS RESULTING IN POTENTIAL RISK TO THE ASTRONAUTS. THE BIOFILMS ON ISS CONSIST OF MANY SPECIES, YET STUDIES TO DATE HAVE ONLY TESTED SINGLE-SPECIES BIOFILMS. THERE IS GROWING EVIDENCE THAT MIXED-CULTURE BIOFILMS BEHAVE QUITE DIFFERENTLY FROM PURE CULTURE BIOFILMS, AND WE ANTICIPATE THIS PHENOMENON TO OCCUR IN THE MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT OF ISS. THROUGH THIS STUDY WE WILL INVESTIGATE THE STRUCTURE BY WHICH TWO-SPECIES, MIXED-CULTURE BIOFILMS FORM UNDER MICROGRAVITY ON STAINLESS STEEL USED TO CONSTRUCT ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS AND LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS (ECLSS) ON THE ISS. AS WELL, WE WILL EXPLORE THE EFFICACY BY WHICH MIXED-CULTURE BIOFILMS CAN BE CONTROLLED, AND WHETHER MICROGRAVITY-GROWN MIXED-CULTURE BIOFILMS CAUSE CORROSION ON STAINLESS STEEL. OUR RESULTS ARE DESIGNED TO BOTH ENABLE FUTURE SPACEFLIGHT MISSIONS AND TRANSLATE INTO INFORMATION FOR THE GENERAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY ON EARTH. | ||||||||||||

| Description | OUR RESEARCH OBJECTIVES ARE TO: 1) INTEGRATE LATERAL INFLOWS INTO A SWOT DISCHARGE ALGORITHM 2) INTEGRATE LAKE/RESERVOIR DYNAMICS INTO A SWOT DISCHARGE ALGORITHM 3) DEVELOP A SWOT MODELING APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY SCALE WATER RESOURCES PLANNING/MANAGEMENT AND FLOOD HAZARD/RISK ASSESSMENT 4) CONTRIBUTE TO OVERALL SWOT MISSION PLANNING AND SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT. WE ADDRESS FOUR NRA HYDROLOGY PRIORITY AREAS: 2.1.1 LAKE PROCESSES, 2.1.2 RIVER DISCHARGE, 2.1.3 INTEGRATION OF SWOT MEASUREMENTS INTO MODELS, 2.1.8 HIGHER LEVEL PRODUCTS. STUDY BASINS INCLUDE: MACKENZIE, SACRAMENTO, MISSISSIPPI AND AMAZON. THESE BASINS PROVIDE GRADIENTS IN CLIMATE CONDITIONS RANGING FROM SUBARCTIC TO TROPICAL, AVAILABILITY OF IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS RANGING FROM DENSE TO SPARE, AND REGULATION OF SURFACE AND GROUND WATERS RANGING FROM SIGNIFICANT IN SAC/MISS TO LIMITED IN AMAZON. THESE GRADIENTS PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING OUR ABILITY TO ESTIMATE RIVER DISCHARGE ACROSS A RANGE OF TERRESTRIAL SYSTEMS, AND THE SACRAMENTO PROVIDES ACCESS TO AIRSWOT MEASUREMENTS. BUILDING ON OUR SWOT EXPERIENCE, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP NOVEL APPROACHES FOR INTEGRATING LATERAL INFLOWS AND LAKE/RESERVOIR OUTFLOWS INTO AN ESTABLISHED SWOT DISCHARGE ALGORITHM (METROMAN) TO REDUCE SWOT DISCHARGE ERRORS. WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED POTENTIAL REDUCTIONS IN DISCHARGE RMSE BY 20-30% WHEN LATERAL INFLOWS ARE INCLUDING IN METROMAN. WE ALSO BUILD ON OUR LAKE/RESERVOIR STORAGE AND OUTFLOW MODEL, WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO SIMULATE BOTH NATURAL AND REGULATED STORAGE DYNAMICS BASED ON CHARACTERISTIC STORAGE PATTERNS DERIVED FROM SYNTHETIC SWOT STORAGE CHANGE TIME SERIES. OUR APPROACH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE GLOBAL/REGIONAL HYDROLOGIC STUDIES WHERE REGULATED RESERVOIR DYNAMICS ARE IMPORTANT. AS ENCOURAGED IN THE NRA, WE ARE COLLABORATING ON TWO CNES-SWOT ST PROPOSALS: 1) DR. ARRON BOONE'S PROPOSAL ENTITLED "TOWARDS AN IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF THE GLOBAL HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE USING SWOT MEASUREMENTS", FROM CENTRE NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE METEOROLOGIQUE. WE WILL USE RUNOFF FROM THEIR ISBA MODEL FOR INPUT TO OUR LATERAL INFLOW MODEL, PROVIDE THEM WITH OUR METROMAN DERIVED SWOT RIVER DISCHARGES FOR THEIR ASSIMILATION EFFORTS, AND JOINTLY INVESTIGATE THE ROLE OF REGULATION ON RESERVOIR DYNAMICS AND 2) DR. JEAN-FRANCOIS CRETAUX'S PROPOSAL ENTITLED "DETERMINATION OF RIVER DISCHARGE FROM SWOT", FROM CENTRE NATIONAL D'ETUDES SPATIALES. WE WILL PARTICIPATE IN COMPARISON EXPERIMENTS FOR ASSESSING DISCHARGE ALGORITHM PERFORMANCE IN SELECT TEST BASINS. TO ASSESS POTENTIAL VALUE OF THE SWOT MISSION IN HYDROLOGY APPLICATIONS, WE WILL DEVELOP TIME SERIES OF SWOT RIVER DISCHARGES AND LAKE STORAGE CHANGES TO REPRESENT FINITE MISSION DURATIONS. WE WILL THEN USE THESE DATA SERIES TO CALIBRATE A HYDROLOGIC-HYDRAULIC MODEL USING TWO APPROACHES: 1) ONLY ADJUSTING ROUTING PARAMETERS IN THE HILLSLOPE RIVER ROUTING (HRR) MODEL WITH RUNOFF FROM NLDAS/GLDAS/ISBA MODELS, AND 2) ADJUSTING BOTH RUNOFF GENERATION AND ROUTING PARAMETERS IN THE HRR MODEL. ALTHOUGH THE NLDAS/GLDAS/ISBA MODELS ARE WELL ESTABLISHED AND ACCOUNT FOR MORE PROCESSES THAN THE HYDROLOGIC MODULE IN THE HRR MODEL, WE PROPOSE TO USE HRR FOR THIS APPLICATION TO ENABLE AUTOMATED CALIBRATION APPROACHES WHERE BOTH HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC PARAMETER SPACES ARE EXPLORED IN A FULLY COUPLED SYSTEM. THE CALIBRATED MODELS WILL THEN BE USED TO SIMULATE 1979-CURRENT AND 2000-CURRENT TIME PERIODS. WE WILL COMPARE THE CALIBRATED MODEL RESULTS TO IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS, HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS CALIBRATED WITH IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS, AND EACH OTHER. WE WILL ALSO WORK WITH FM GLOBAL, THE WORLD-WIDE LEADER IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY INSURANCE, TO QUANTIFY THE POTENTIAL VALUE ADDED BY THE SWOT MISSION. USING THE PROPOSED APPLICATION, WE WILL EXPLORE POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN ESTIMATED FLOOD DISCHARGES, HAZARD MAPS AND CORRESPONDING FLOOD RISK THROUGH UNFUNDED COLLABORATION WITH FM GLOBAL RESEARCH SCIENTISTS. | ||||||||||||

| Description | FOR RETRIEVALS OF ICE CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL AND RADIATIVE PROPERTIES, EACH SCIENCE TEAM ASSUMES A DIFFERENT ICE PARTICLE HABIT/SHAPE MODEL FOR GENERATING LOOK-UP TABLES THAT INVOLVE FORWARD LIGHT SCATTERING AND RADIATIVE TRANSFER COMPUTATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CERES EDITION 4 ICE CLOUD PROPERTY RETRIEVAL ASSUMES A SINGLE HABIT MODEL (SPECIFICALLY, HEXAGONAL ICE CRYSTALS WITH SURFACE ROUGHNESS), THE MODIS COLLECTION 6 ICE CLOUD PROPERTY RETRIEVAL ASSUMES ROUGHENED AGGREGATES, AND THE AIRS SCIENCE TEAM ADOPTED THE MODIS COLLECTION 5 ICE MODEL (A MIXTURE OF VARIOUS ICE PARTICLE HABITS) IN THE INFRARED REGIME. HOWEVER, LOEB ET AL. (2017) SHOWED THAT THE EFFECT OF AN ICE PARTICLE HABIT MODEL ON CLOUD RADIATIVE FORCING ASSESSMENT FROM SATELLITE-BASED CLOUD PROPERTY RETRIEVAL PRODUCTS IS MINIMIZED IF THE SAME ICE HABIT MODEL IS CONSISTENTLY USED FOR BOTH THE RETRIEVAL AND THE DOWNSTREAM BROADBAND RADIATIVE TRANSFER COMPUTATION. THIS FINDING PROMOTES A HYPOTHESIS (HEREAFTER, THE CONSISTENCY HYPOTHESIS) THAT, TO MINIMIZE ERRORS, A CONSISTENT ICE CLOUD MODEL SHOULD BE USED FOR SATELLITE-BASED ICE CLOUD PROPERTY RETRIEVALS AND THE ASSESSMENT OF ICE CLOUD RADIATIVE FORCING. THIS HYPOTHESIS, IF VALIDATED, POSES A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE IN THAT, AT PRESENT, ICE CLOUD MODELS USED IN RADIATIVE TRANSFER MODELS (PARTICULARLY THOSE INVOLVED IN CLIMATE MODELS) ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THEIR COUNTERPARTS USED IN SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING. FOR THAT REASON, USING SATELLITE RETRIEVAL PRODUCTS TO VALIDATE CLIMATE MODEL OUTPUT INCLUDING CLOUD RADIATIVE FORCING ASSESSMENT MAY INTRODUCE SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES. THE STUDY BY LOEB ET AL. (2017) WAS LIMITED BY USING ONLY 10 DAYS OF MODIS DATA AND THE ICE MODELS EMPLOYED BY THE CERES SCIENCE TEAM. THE PROJECT DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL BUILDS ON OUR PREVIOUS WORK, AND WILL MORE THOROUGHLY VALIDATE THE CONSISTENCY HYPOTHESIS USING THE ICE CLOUD PROPERTY RETRIEVAL PRODUCTS DEVELOPED BY THE MODIS, CERES, AND AIRS SCIENCE TEAMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH RELEVANT ICE CLOUD MODELS. FOR ROBUST SIMULATIONS, WE WILL USE THE LEVEL-2 RETRIEVAL PRODUCTS RATHER THAN THE GRIDDED PRODUCTS. ONLY THE MODIS AND AIRS PIXELS COLLOCATED WITH CALIPSO DATA WILL BE USED. | ||||||||||||

| Description | LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES ARE THE GOLD-STANDARD FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY STORAGE HOWEVER, THE CEILING FOR THEIR STORAGE POTENTIAL IS CONSTRAINED BY THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL OF LIMITS: EACH LITHIUM-ION ONLY SUPPLIES ONE ELECTRON. SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES CAUSED BY UNCONTROLLABLE GROWTH OF LITHIUM-METAL SPIKES THAT CAUSE SHORTS IN THE BATTERIES AND CAN LEAD TO OVERHEATING AND EXPLOSIONS OF THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE FLAMMABILITY OF MANY LITHIUM-ION BATTERY COMPONENTS ARE OF GREAT CONCERN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY AND IN PARTICULAR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP-SPACE EVA SUITS. BROADLY, MY PROPOSAL IS TO MOVE FROM LITHIUM AND TOWARDS MAGNESIUM-ION BATTERY TECHNOLOGY, BY FURTHER DEVELOPING A NOVEL CATHODE MATERIAL (ONE OF ONLY A HANDFUL IN EXISTENCE), ZV2O5 WHICH WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY SYNTHESIZED IN OUR LAB. THIS MATERIAL IS REMARKABLE, AND IS CAPABLE OF REVERSIBLY INTERCALATING MG AT ROOM TEMPERATURE UP TO A HIGH VOLUMETRIC CAPACITY. MY PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE NANOSTRUCTURING OF THIS MATERIAL AND OPTIMIZE THE BATTERY CHEMISTRY IN ORDER TO REALIZE A FULLY FUNCTIONING PROTOTYPE MAGNESIUM-ION BATTERY. FURTHERMORE, I WILL USE A VARIETY OF CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING TECHNIQUES TO EVALUATE THIS INCREDIBLE MATERIAL AND INFORM PRINCIPLES FOR THE INTELLIGENT AND DIRECTED DISCOVERY OF ADDITIONAL MG-ION BATTERY CATHODE MATERIALS. TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS, I PLAN TO UTILIZE HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS TECHNIQUES COUPLED WITH STRUCTURE-DIRECTING AGENTS TO OPTIMIZE TO OPTIMIZE THE NANOSTRUCTURING OF THESE MATERIALS. I PLAN TO USE A DIVERSE PALETTE OF TOPOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS TO STABILIZE THE DESIRED EMPTY HOST STRUCTURES AS WELL AS FACILE TECHNIQUES FOR CHEMICALLY EVALUATING MAGNESIUM INSERTION BEHAVIOR. I WILL QUANTIFY AND EVALUATE THE BEHAVIOR OF EACH PHASE USING DFT+U AND NUDGED ELASTIC BAND (NEB) CALCULATIONS TO DETERMINE EXPECTED OPERATING VOLTAGES AND DIFFUSION BARRIERS. FINALLY, TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF PHASE SEGREGATION DURING MAGNESIATION, I WILL UTILIZE SCANNING TRANSMISSION XRAY MICROSCOPY (STXM) TO MAP ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE DOMAINS. NOT ONLY DOES MOVING FROM MAGNESIUM TO LITHIUM THEORETICALLY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGE PER UNIT VOLUME ATTAINABLE IN A CELL, BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR THE USE OF MG METAL AS AN ANODE, ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR HEAVY ANODE COMPONENTS FOUND IN LITHIUM ION BATTERIES (SN, C) INHERENTLY IMPROVING THE WEIGHT OF THE OVERALL BATTERY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAKING THE SWITCH TO MAGNESIUM MAKES BATTERIES INHERENTLY SAFER BECAUSE MAGNESIUM ANODES DO NOT BEHAVE IN THE SAME WAY, AND SO AVOID THE RISK OF THERMAL RUNAWAY. FOR THESE REASONS, MY PROPOSED RESEARCH ADDRESSES NASA INTEREST IN NANOSTRUCTURING OF CATHODE MATERIALS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAFER BATTERIES FOR HUMAN LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEMS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BATTERIES TO PACK MORE ENERGY INTO LIGHTER DEVICES (TABS: 10.2.1.4, 3.2.1.1, AND 3.2.1.4). | ||||||||||||

| Description | SWIFT HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE AN EXTRAORDINARY SUPERNOVA OBSERVATORY. THE CLEAREST APPLICATION OF SWIFT'S UNIQUE STRENGTHS IS OBTAINING VERY EARLY UV AND X-RAY DATA ON YOUNG SUPERNOVAE TO CONSTRAIN THEIR PROGENITOR SYSTEMS. AS PART OF THIS KEY PROJECT, WE PROPOSE A TWO-YEAR FOLLOW-UP PROGRAM TO RAPIDLY OBSERVE ALL OF THE NEAREST EXTRAGALACTIC TRANSIENTS (MOSTLY SUPERNOVAE) WITHOUT WAITING FOR THEM TO BE SPECTROSCOPICALLY CLASSIFIED. THE QUICK-RESPONSE, DISTANCE-LIMITED PROGRAM WE PROPOSE WILL DETECT ANY UV-BRIGHT RADIATIVE COOLING FOLLOWING THE SHOCK BREAKOUT FROM CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE AND SHOCKED COMPANIONS FROM TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE. JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, WE WILL CONSTRAIN THE FRACTION OF EVENTS FOR WHICH IT IS NOT SEEN. CONTINUING TO OBTAIN HIGH-QUALITY SUPERNOVA DATA AND SHARE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY CAPITALIZES ON SWIFT'S UNIQUE CAPABILITIES AND WILL ENHANCE THE LEGACY OF THE SWIFT DATASET.

| Description | CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE ARE THE CATASTROPHIC DEATHS OF MASSIVE STARS. ULTRAVIOLET OBSERVATIONS ARE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE ENERGY OF THE EXPLOSION THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE BOLOMETRIC LIGHT CURVES. EARLY-TIME ULTRAVIOLET OBSERVATIONS CONSTRAIN THE SIZE OF THE PROGENITOR. ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRA CAN BREAK THE DEGENERACIES BETWEEN TEMPERATURE/IONIZATION, REDDENING, AND METALLICITY WHICH HINDER OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ULTRAVIOLET PHOTOMETRY. OPTICAL OBSERVATIONS OF HIGH-REDSHIFT SUPERNOVAE PROBE REST-FRAME ULTRAVIOLET WAVELENGTHS, REQUIRING SPACE-BASED OBSERVATIONS OF NEARBY SUPERNOVAE AGAINST WHICH TO COMPARE. ULTRAVIOLET OBSERVATIONS OF CORECOLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE CAN ALSO HELP DISTINGUISH THEM FROM TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE, ENABLING CLEANER PHOTOMETRIC TYPE IA SUPERNOVA SAMPLES FOR COSMOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS. THE ULTRAVIOLET/OPTICAL TELESCOPE (UVOT) ON THE SWIFT SATELLITE HAS OBSERVED OVER TWO HUNDRED CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE IN THE ULTRAVIOLET, INCLUDING SIXTY-NINE ULTRAVIOLET GRISM SPECTRA OF TWENTY CORE-COLLAPSE SNE. ADDITIONAL ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRA HAVE BEEN OBTAINED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ULTRAVIOLET EXPLORER, HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE, AND GALAXY EVOLUTION EXPLORER. WE PROPOSE A PROJECT TO REDUCE THE SWIFT GRISM SPECTRA AND COMBINE WITH THE OTHER ULTRAVIOLET AND GROUND-BASED OPTICAL/NIR SPECTRA TO CREATE TIME-SERIES BOLOMETRIC SPECTRA. WE WILL USE THESE BOLOMETRIC SPECTRA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND TEMPERATURE, REDDENING, AND METALLICITY AND CREATE BOLOMETRIC LIGHT CURVES OF THESE CORE COLLAPSE SNE. WE WILL ALSO USE EARLY TIME ULTRAVIOLET PHOTOMETRY AND SPECTROSCOPY TO CONSTRAIN THE PROGENITORS OF CORE COLLAPSE SNE. THE ULTRAVIOLET OBSERVATIONS FILL A CRITICAL NICHE IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF CORE COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE, AND THIS PROGRAM WILL ENHANCE THE SCIENTIFIC USE OF THIS IMPORTANT DATASET FROM MULTIPLE SPACE MISSIONS. BEYOND CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE, THE TEMPLATES WILL ALLOW STUDIES OF THE DUST PROPERTIES AROUND THE PROGENITOR SYSTEMS (INCLUDING THE WAVELENGTH DEPENDENCE OF THE EXTINCTION). THE TEMPLATES WILL IMPROVE THE PHOTOMETRIC CLASSIFICATION AND DISTANCE BIAS MODELING FOR TYPE IA SUPERNOVA COSMOLOGY, WHILE THE EXTINCTION AND TEMPERATURE CONSTRAINTS WILL IMPROVE THE USE OF TYPE IIP SUPERNOVAE AS A DISTINCT DISTANCE INDICATOR ON THEIR OWN. | ||||||||||||

SKELETAL MUSCLE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE HEALTH, WELL-BEING, AND PERFORMANCE OF ASTRONAUTS DURING SPACEFLIGHT AND UPON RETURN TO A GRAVITATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. THE MECHANICAL UNLOADING DUE TO THE MICROGRAVITY (.G) OF SPACEFLIGHT CAUSES MUSCLE FIBER ATROPHY AND FIBER-TYPE SHIFT OF POSTURAL MUSCLES IN THE LOWER EXTREMITIES AND FLEXORS IN THE UPPER EXTREMITIES. MICROGRAVITY ALSO INCREASES THE RISK OF SKELETAL MUSCLE DAMAGE, WEAKNESS, AND THUS THE RISK OF INJURY UPON RELOADING (E.G., EVAS, MARS). | ||||||||||||

| Description | THE RISK OF LOSS OF CREW AND VEHICLE DUE TO ORBITAL DEBRIS (OD) IS AROUND 1 IN 250 TO 1 IN 300 PER MISSION (NRC, 1997). THUS, DEVELOPING AN ACCURATE DETECTION AND SIZE/COMPOSITION ESTIMATION OF OD TO REDUCE THE RISKS IS IMPERATIVE. ONE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT THE OBJECTS IN THE SPACE SCENE CANNOT BE SPATIALLY RESOLVED. BEING DENOTED AS NON-IMAGING SPACE OBJECTS (NOI) (PIPER ET AL 2004), CURRENT TECHNOLOGY ONLY ALLOWS TO QUALITATIVELY ASSESSING THE RISK FROM OBJECTS IN EARTH ORBIT. AN APPROACH THAT CAN POTENTIALLY EXTRACT QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT NOI IS HYPERSPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING. THE HIGH SPECTRAL RESOLUTION OF HYPERSPECTRAL SENSORS EXTRACT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL COMPOSITION OF THE NOI FROM THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE MEASURED SPECTRA, PROVIDING A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TO ASSESSING/EXTRACTING ORBITING OBJECTS MATERIAL INFORMATION. THIS RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING A NOVEL ADAPTIVE LIBRARY-BASED UNMIXING MODEL THAT WILL EXPLOIT EXISTING SPECTRAL LIBRARIES AND MINE THE TEMPORAL HYPERSPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING DATA TO DISCOVER MATERIAL SIGNATURES. TO INCREASE THE ACCURACY OF THE SIZE ESTIMATION, DEVELOPING A MAPPING ALGORITHM, RADAR IMAGES WILL BE USED TO HALLUCINATE SPECTRAL IMAGES AND HELP EXTRACT MATERIAL SIGNATURES. THE OUTCOME WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE DETECTION AND ESTIMATION OF THE OD SIZE AND COMPOSITION | ||||||||||||

| Description | SPACEFLIGHT-ASSOCIATED NEURO-OCULAR SYNDROME (SANS) IS REPORTED TO AFFECT ~40% OF ASTRONAUTS COMPLETING LONG-DURATION SPACEFLIGHTS (AS OF MAY 2017) AND HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF ONE OR MORE FINDINGS: OPTIC DISC EDEMA, HYPEROPIC SHIFTS, GLOBE FLATTENING, COTTON-WOOL SPOTS, OR CHOROIDAL FOLDS. THE LEADING HYPOTHESIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OCULAR CHANGES IS THAT PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE HEADWARD FLUID SHIFT THAT OCCURS IN WEIGHTLESSNESS IS THE PRIMARY INSTIGATING FACTOR, AND ADDITIONAL FACTORS SUCH AS GENETIC DISPOSITION, AMBIENT CO2 ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, OR ON-ORBIT EXERCISE COUNTERMEASURES MAY AUGMENT OR DIMINISH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OCULAR SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER, THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF SANS REMAINS UNCLEAR. EVIDENCE FOR THE CONTRIBUTION OF INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE ALONE IN SANS IS CONTROVERSIAL. THEREFORE, STUDIES OF OCULAR VASCULAR HYDRODYNAMICS ARE REQUIRED TO CLARIFY IF CHRONIC MILD ELEVATIONS OF OCULAR PRESSURE VARIABLES COMPROMISE OCULAR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. SINCE ALL BLOOD AND LYMPH VESSELS ARE COMPLIANT, FLUID-FILLED STRUCTURES WHOSE PRESSURES ARE STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY GRAVITY, WE PROPOSE TO FOCUS OUR STUDIES ON THE POTENTIAL CHANGES DIRECTLY TO THE OCULAR VASCULATURE CAUSED BY MICROGRAVITY. PERFUSION OF THE OPTIC NERVE AND INNER RETINA FOR SUFFICIENT DELIVERY OF OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS IS DEPENDENT ON RETINAL BLOOD FLOW. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT FOR DRIVING BLOOD FLOW THROUGH THE INNER RETINA BEGINS WITH THE ARTERIAL PRESSURE IN THE FEED ARTERY, WHICH IS THE CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY IN HUMANS. CHANGES IN RETINAL BLOOD FLOW OR PRESSURE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE FORMATION OF COTTON WOOL SPOTS AND OPTIC DISC EDEMA. OPTIC DISC EDEMA, CHOROIDAL FOLDS AND OPTIC NERVE THICKENING MAY ALSO RESULT FROM OCULAR VENOUS CONGESTION AND/OR ELEVATED VENOUS COMPLIANCE, DISRUPTION OF THE BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER, AND/OR REDUCTION IN OCULAR LYMPH FLOW. THERE HAS BEEN NO SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE OCULAR VASCULAR CHANGES IN MICROGRAVITY. WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A TEAM OF EXPERTS IN SANS AND ALL 3 MAIN VASCULAR TYPES (ARTERIES, VEINS AND LYMPHATICS) TO ADDRESS THIS INFORMATION GAP. THUS, THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS APPLICATION IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER MICROGRAVITY ALTERS THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE OCULAR VASCULATURE AT THE LEVEL OF FEED ARTERIES, VENOUS EXCHANGE AND CAPACITANCE VESSELS, AND LYMPH VESSELS. THIS PROVIDES A NOVEL COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE OCULAR VASCULAR ELEMENTS. THE CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS OF THIS PROPOSAL IS THAT MICROGRAVITY/SPACEFLIGHT-INDUCED CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE/FUNCTION OF THE OCULAR VASCULATURE LEAD TO ALTERATIONS IN OCULAR HYDRODYNAMICS AND PROMOTE SYMPTOMS OF SANS. WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJECTIVE USING IN VIVO MEASURES OF VASCULAR FUNCTION (RETINAL ARTERY BLOOD FLOW, RETINAL ARTERIOLE AND VENULAR DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS, AND RETINAL VENULAR PERMEABILITY MEASURES) AND IN VITRO STUDIES OF FRESHLY ISOLATED VASCULAR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION (VESSEL/TISSUE HISTOLOGY, ARTERIAL VASOMOTOR REGULATION, VENOUS COMPLIANCE MEASURES AND LYMPHATIC TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS). THESE STUDIES WILL BE CONDUCTED IN MICE FLOWN IN SPACE AND THE CORRESPONDING GROUND CONTROLS TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC AIMS: 1: EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF MICROGRAVITY ON OCULAR ARTERY STRUCTURE/FUNCTION. 2: EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF MICROGRAVITY ON OCULAR VEIN STRUCTURE/FUNCTION. 3: EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF MICROGRAVITY ON OCULAR LYMPHATIC STRUCTURE/FUNCTION. INFORMATION FROM THESE NOVEL STUDIES WILL PROVIDE THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MICROGRAVITY ON OCULAR VASCULAR FUNCTION WHERE THE PREDOMINANT CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH SANS IN ASTRONAUTS OCCUR. IT WILL ALSO HELP DEFINE THE ROLES THESE MAY PLAY IN THE ETIOLOGY OF SANS AND COULD LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTERMEASURES FOR SANS. | ||||||||||||

| Description | LITHIUM ION BATTERIES CURRENTLY USE AN ORGANIC ELECTROLYTE THAT IS FLAMMABLE AND RAISES MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS. ONE METHOD TO ENABLE SAFER AND MORE ENERGY DENSE BATTERIES IS TO REPLACE THIS ELECTROLYTE WITH A SOLID STATE MATERIAL. BEFORE SOLID STATE ELECTROLYTES (SSES) CAN BE REALIZED, THEY MUCH HAVE LOW RESISTANCE AND BE NONREACTIVE WITH THE ANODE MATERIAL: LITHIUM. TRADITIONAL SSE MATERIALS HAVE REACTED WITH LITHIUM FORMING A PASSIVATION LAYER CALLED THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE INTERFACE (SEI) WHICH LEADS A DECREASE IN EFFICIENCY OVER TIMES. ANOTHER KEY CONCERN IS THE FORMATION OF DENDRITES (NEEDLE-LIKE STRUCTURES) IN THE GRAIN BOUNDARIES OF THE SSE FORMED DURING REPEATED CYCLING OF THE BATTERY WHICH CAN LEAD TO EARLY CELL FAILURE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO COMBINE EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS TO INVESTIGATE A FAMILY OF CRYSTALLINE SULFIDES, LI-ARGYRODITE LI5PS5X WHERE X CL, BR, OR I TO DEVELOP A SSE FOR A LITHIUM BATTERY. DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY CALCULATIONS WILL ALLOW FOR ESTIMATED CALCULATIONS OF LI DIFFUSION COEFFICIENTS TO DETERMINE CONDUCTIVITY, AND WILL ALSO BE USED TO CALCULATE OF BINDING ENERGIES OF SIDE REACTION PRODUCTS TO PREDICT SEI CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN THE SSE AND LITHIUM ANODE. THESE COMPUTER MODELS WILL ALLOW FOR RAPID SCREENING OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS, STRUCTURES, AND GEOMETRIES TO DETERMINE WHAT MATERIALS WILL HAVE THE LARGEST LITHIUM ION CONDUCTIVITY AND WHAT MATERIALS SHOULD BE USED AT THE SSE/LITHIUM INTERFACE. ALL COMPUTATIONAL SCREENING IS VERIFIED AND GUIDED BY EXPERIMENTAL DATA COLLECTED THROUGH ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY EXPERIMENTS. THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND STRUCTURE/PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS OF SSE MATERIALS ON A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL ALLOWING FOR MORE EFFICIENT DESIGN OF SAFER BATTERIES. BATTERIES ARE USED IN ALMOST EVERY TYPE OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY FROM SATELLITES AND TELESCOPES TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND ROVERS. WEIGHT, SAFETY, AND RELIABILITY ARE OF PARAMOUNT CONCERN IN THESE APPLICATIONS TO REDUCE THE COST OF LAUNCHING EQUIPMENT INTO SPACE, AND TO PREVENT ANY TYPES OF FIRES OR FAILURES. A SOLID STATE BATTERY PROVIDES FIRSTLY NUMEROUS SAFETY ADVANTAGES OVER TRADITIONAL LITHIUM ION TECHNOLOGIES BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN A FLAMMABLE LIQUID ELECTROLYTE. A SSE WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR HIGH ENERGY DENSITY BY VOLUME, AND IF THE BATTERY CONTAINS LITHIUM METAL AT THE ANODE THE ENERGY DENSITY WOULD INCREASE MEANING LIGHTER BATTERIES WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. | ||||||||||||

| Description | A SIGNIFICANT FRACTION OF EXOPLANETS ORBIT WITHIN 0.1 AU OF THEIR HOST STAR, WITH PERIODS OF <20 DAYS. THE DISCOVERY OF THESE CLOSEIN PLANETS HAS DEFIED CONVENTIONAL MODELS OF PLANET FORMATION AND EVOLUTION BASED ON OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM. IT IS WIDELY ACCEPTED THAT THESE CLOSE-IN PLANETS DID NOT FORM IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THEIR HOST STARS (BOTH ROCKY PLANETS AND HOT JUPITERS), BUT RATHER THAT DYNAMICAL OR INTERACTIVE PROCESSES CAUSED THEM TO MIGRATE INWARDS FROM LARGER ORBITAL SEMIMAJOR AXES AND PERIODS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PLANET MIGRATION SCENARIOS PROPOSED IN THE LITERATURE, THOUGH IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MUCH OF THE KNOWN PLANET POPULATION IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EACH MECHANISM. PLANETARY MIGRATION MODELS CAN BE LOOSELY DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: DISK-DRIVEN MIGRATION AND DYNAMICAL MIGRATION. DISK MIGRATION OCCURS OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE PROTOPLANETARY DISK (<5 MYR), WHILE MIGRATION INVOLVING DYNAMICAL MULTI-BODY INTERACTIONS OPERATES ON TIMESCALES OF ~100 MYR TO ~1GYR, A LENGTHIER PROCESS THAN DISK MIGRATION. THE K2 MISSION HAS MEASURED PLANET FORMATION TIMESCALES AND MIGRATION PATHWAYS BY SAMPLING GROUPS OF STARS AT KEY AGES. OVER THE PAST 10 CAMPAIGNS, MULTIPLE GROUPS OF YOUNG STARS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED BY K2, RANGING FROM THE 10 MYR UPPER SCORPIUS OB ASSOCIATION, THROUGH THE � MYR PLEIADES CLUSTER, TO THE �-800 MYR HYADES AND PRAESEPE CLUSTERS. UPCOMING DATA FROM MORE RECENT CAMPAIGNS INCLUDE THE 2MYR TAURUS REGION AND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE UPPER SCORPIUS MEMBERS IN C13 AND 15. THE FREQUENCY, ORBITAL PROPERTIES, AND COMPOSITIONS OF THE EXOPLANET POPULATION IN THESE SAMPLES OF DIFFERENT AGE, WITH CAREFUL TREATMENT OF DETECTION COMPLETENESS, DISTINGUISH THESE SCENARIOS OF EXOPLANET MIGRATION AS THEIR HOST STARS ARE SETTLING ONTO THE MAIN SEQUENCE. WE HAVE PIONEERED EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY TRANSITING EXOPLANETS IN THE K2 DATA FOR YOUNG CLUSTERS AND MOVING GROUPS, AND HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW, HIGHLY COMPLETE, DETRENDING ALGORITHM FOR ROTATIONAL INDUCED VARIABILITY THAT IS COMMONLY SEEN IN THE LIGHT CURVES OF YOUNG, ACTIVE STARS (RIZZUTO ET AL. IN PREP). WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 11 CANDIDATE PLANETS IN PRAESEPE, HYADES, UPPER SCO, AND THE PLEIADES USING THESE METHODS, THE FIRST OF WHICH HAS NOW BEEN PUBLISHED WITH FOLLOW-UP (MANN ET AL. 2016ABC GAIDOS ET AL. 2016). THIS SAMPLE OF DETECTED PLANET CANDIDATES GIVES A PROMISING FIRST INDICATION OF THE TIMESCALE OVER WHICH PLANET MIGRATION OCCURS, FAVORING DYNAMICAL MULTI-BODY PROCESSES. HOWEVER, BECAUSE ROTATIONAL ACTIVITY IN YOUNG STARS MAKES DETECTION OF EXOPLANET TRANSITS MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE YOUNGER CLUSTERS (E.G, UPPER SCO, PLEIADES), TO ROBUSTLY PROVE THAT THESE FREQUENCIES ARE TRUE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SHORT-PERIOD PLANET OCCURRENCE RATE AT DIFFERENT PMS AGES WILL REQUIRE ROBUST DETERMINATION OF DETECTION LIMITS IN THESE HIGHLY VARIABLE YOUNG-STAR LIGHTCURVES. WE PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF PLANET MIGRATION WITH A UNIFORM INJECTION-RECOVERY TEST OF YOUNG CLUSTER MEMBERS, TO ROBUSTLY MEASURE THE DETECTABILITY OF PLANETS OF DIFFERING SIZE AND ORBIT. THIS WILL INVOLVE DETRENDING THE LIGHT CURVE DATA OF INSTRUMENTAL AND ROTATIONAL SYSTEMATICS, INJECTING A SYNTHETIC TRANSIT SIGNATURE FROM A GRID OF PLANETARY AND ORBITAL PARAMETERS, REVERSING THE DETRENDING, AND THEN EXECUTING OUR TRANSIT SEARCH PIPELINE (WHICH IS TUNED FOR HIGHLY ACTIVE YOUNG STARS) AND MAPPING THE RECOVERY RATE AS A FUNCTION OF PLANET PARAMETERS FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL LIGHT CURVE. WITH THIS MAP OF DETECTABILITY AS A FUNCTION OF PLANET PROPERTIES FOR EACH LIGHT CURVE AND A FULL PROGRAM OF DETECTED EXOPLANET FOLLOW-UP, WE CAN THEN DIRECTLY ANY CHANGE IN THE OCCURRENCE RATES OF CLOSE-IN (P<20 DAY) PLANETS WITH CLUSTER AGE AND IDENTIFY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MIGRATION MECHANISM. | ||||||||||||

| Description | A SIGNIFICANT FRACTION OF EXOPLANETS ORBIT WITHIN 0.1 AU OF THEIR HOST STAR, WITH PERIODS OF<20 DAYS. THE DISCOVERY OF THESE CLOSEIN PLANETS HAS DEFIED CONVENTIONAL MODELS OF PLANET FORMATION AND EVOLUTION BASED ON OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM. IT IS WIDELY ACCEPTED THAT THESE CLOSE-IN PLANETS DID NOT FORM IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THEIR HOST STARS (BOTH ROCKY PLANETS AND HOT JUPITERS), BUT RATHER THAT DYNAMICAL OR INTERACTIVE PROCESSES CAUSED THEM TO MIGRATE INWARDS FROM LARGER ORBITAL SEMIMAJOR AXES AND PERIODS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PLANET MIGRATION SCENARIOS PROPOSED IN THE LITERATURE, THOUGH IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MUCH OF THE KNOWN PLANET POPULATION IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EACH MECHANISM. PLANETARY MIGRATION MODELS CAN BE LOOSELY DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: DISK-DRIVEN MIGRATION AND DYNAMICAL MIGRATION. DISK MIGRATION OCCURS OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE PROTOPLANETARY DISK (<5 MYR), WHILE MIGRATION INVOLVING DYNAMICAL MULTI-BODY INTERACTIONS OPERATES ON TIMESCALES OF ~100 MYR TO ~1GYR, A LENGTHIER PROCESS THAN DISK MIGRATION. THE K2 MISSION HAS MEASURED PLANET FORMATION TIMESCALES AND MIGRATION PATHWAYS BY SAMPLING GROUPS OF STARS AT KEY AGES. OVER THE PAST 10 CAMPAIGNS, MULTIPLE GROUPS OF YOUNG STARS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED BY K2, RANGING FROM THE 10 MYR UPPER SCORPIUS OB ASSOCIATION, THROUGH THE� MYR PLEIADES CLUSTER, TO THE�-800 MYR HYADES AND PRAESEPE CLUSTERS. UPCOMING DATA FROM MORE RECENT CAMPAIGNS INCLUDE THE 2MYR TAURUS REGION AND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE UPPER SCORPIUS MEMBERS IN C13 AND 15. THE FREQUENCY, ORBITAL PROPERTIES, AND COMPOSITIONS OF THE EXOPLANET POPULATION IN THESE SAMPLES OF DIFFERENT AGE, WITH CAREFUL TREATMENT OF DETECTION COMPLETENESS, DISTINGUISH THESE SCENARIOS OF EXOPLANET MIGRATION AS THEIR HOST STARS ARE SETTLING ONTO THE MAIN SEQUENCE. WE HAVE PIONEERED EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY TRANSITING EXOPLANETS IN THE K2 DATA FOR YOUNG CLUSTERS AND MOVING GROUPS, AND HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW, HIGHLY COMPLETE, DETRENDING ALGORITHM FOR ROTATIONAL INDUCED VARIABILITY THAT IS COMMONLY SEEN IN THE LIGHT CURVES OF YOUNG, ACTIVE STARS (RIZZUTO ET AL. IN PREP). WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 11 CANDIDATE PLANETS IN PRAESEPE, HYADES, UPPER SCO, AND THE PLEIADES USING THESE METHODS, THE FIRST OF WHICH HAS NOW BEEN PUBLISHED WITH FOLLOW-UP (MANN ET AL. 2016ABC GAIDOS ET AL. 2016). THIS SAMPLE OF DETECTED PLANET CANDIDATES GIVES A PROMISING FIRST INDICATION OF THE TIMESCALE OVER WHICH PLANET MIGRATION OCCURS, FAVORING DYNAMICAL MULTI-BODY PROCESSES. HOWEVER, BECAUSE ROTATIONAL ACTIVITY IN YOUNG STARS MAKES DETECTION OF EXOPLANET TRANSITS MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE YOUNGER CLUSTERS (E.G, UPPER SCO, PLEIADES), TO ROBUSTLY PROVE THAT THESE FREQUENCIES ARE TRUE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SHORT-PERIOD PLANET OCCURRENCE RATE AT DIFFERENT PMS AGES WILL REQUIRE ROBUST DETERMINATION OF DETECTION LIMITS IN THESE HIGHLY VARIABLE YOUNG-STAR LIGHTCURVES. WE PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF PLANET MIGRATION WITH A UNIFORM INJECTION-RECOVERY TEST OF YOUNG CLUSTER MEMBERS, TO ROBUSTLY MEASURE THE DETECTABILITY OF PLANETS OF DIFFERING SIZE AND ORBIT. THIS WILL INVOLVE DETRENDING THE LIGHT CURVE DATA OF INSTRUMENTAL AND ROTATIONAL SYSTEMATICS, INJECTING A SYNTHETIC TRANSIT SIGNATURE FROM A GRID OF PLANETARY AND ORBITAL PARAMETERS, REVERSING THE DETRENDING, AND THEN EXECUTING OUR TRANSIT SEARCH PIPELINE (WHICH IS TUNED FOR HIGHLY ACTIVE YOUNG STARS) AND MAPPING THE RECOVERY RATE AS A FUNCTION OF PLANET PARAMETERS FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL LIGHT CURVE. WITH THIS MAP OF DETECTABILITY AS A FUNCTION OF PLANET PROPERTIES FOR EACH LIGHT CURVE AND A FULL PROGRAM OF DETECTED EXOPLANET FOLLOW-UP, WE CAN THEN DIRECTLY ANY CHANGE IN THE OCCURRENCE RATES OF CLOSE-IN (P<20 DAY) PLANETS WITH CLUSTER AGE AND IDENTIFY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MIGRATION MECHANISM. | ||||||||||||

| Description | GEOPHYSICAL FINGERPRINTING OF GPS TIME SERIES IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES: TOWARD AN INTEGRATED CRUSTAL DEFORMATION MODEL HERE, WE SEEK TO REANALYZE AND FULLY INTEGRATE THE TECTONIC AND CONVECTIVE COMPONENTS OF THE VERTICAL SIGNAL FROM CONTINUOUS GPS FOR THE WESTERN UNITED STATES (U.S.) BY IMPROVED DATA PROCESSING AS WELL AS FINGERPRINTING ANALYSIS BASED ON A RANGE OF GEODYNAMIC MODELING EFFORTS, TO UNRAVEL THE VARIOUS CON- TRIBUTIONS TO VERTICAL CRUSTAL DEFORMATION ACROSS DIFFERENT SPATIO-TEMPORAL SCALES. OUR OVERALL GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO USE VERTICALS FOR BOTH HYDROLOGICAL AND TECTONIC APPLICATIONS, AND TO RESOLVE SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS IN SOLID EARTH FOR WHICH VERTICAL RATES OF DEFORMATION CAN BE EXPECTED TO BE DIAGNOSTIC. AS A FIRST STEP, WE WILL CONDUCT A MODEL FREE ANALYSIS OF VERTICAL DISPLACEMENTS FROM GNSS, WHICH WILL INCLUDE CORRECTIONS FOR HYDROLOGICAL (FIG. 3) AND GIA EFFECTS, AND SPATIO-TEMPORAL FILTERING OF THE RECOVERED FIELDS. WE WILL THEN COMPUTE HOW SIMPLIFIED MECHANICAL MODELS OF TECTONIC PROCESSES ARE EXPRESSED IN A RANGE OF POSSIBLE OBSERVABLES, WHICH WILL BE THE FINGERPRINTS THAT WE DEFINE FOR DATA DECOMPOSITION AND INTUITION BUILDING (ESSENTIALLY, A SET OF TECTONIC BASIS FUNCTIONS, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY ORTHOGONAL). WE WILL THEN CONDUCT A JOINT ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT DATA AND MODELS, E.G. VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL GEODETIC FIELDS (FIGS. 2 AND 4), TESTING IF WE CAN EXPLORE PROCESS BASED ON MUTUAL CONSISTENCY, I.E. SPATIO-TEMPORALLY DEPENDENT MATCH OF PATTERNS AND AMPLITUDES. WE WILL ALSO CONSIDER REGIONALLY ADAPTED MODELS, INCLUDING THOSE FOR THE VISCO-ELASTIC CYCLE AND LARGER SCALE LITHOSPHERE AND MANTLE FLOW COMPUTATIONS (FIG. 5), AND COMPUTE RESIDUALS TO SEE WHICH PROCESSES REPRESENT SUCCESSFUL QUANTITATIVE MODELS, ON WHAT SCALES. THROUGHOUT THIS EFFORT, WE WILL ADD PHYSICAL MODEL INGREDIENTS, PRIOR CONSTRAINTS AND MECHANICAL REALISM PROGRESSIVELY, AND PROVIDE A RANGE OF SOLUTIONS WITH DIFFERENT A PRIORI ASSUMPTIONS INCLUDING WHETHER RAW OR CORRECTED DATA WERE USED, THE FILTERING EMPLOYED, AND THE MECHANICAL MODELS USED IN THE ANALYSIS. | ||||||||||||

| Description | A NUMBER OF WATER MANAGEMENT ENTITIES IN TEXAS, INCLUDING RIVER AUTHORITIES AND WATER UTILITIES, CURRENTLY EMPLOY EVENT-BASED HYDROLOGIC MODELS SUCH AS THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (USACE) HEC-HMS FOR FLOOD PREDICTION AND WATER MANAGEMENT. RUNNING THESE MODELS REQUIRES ACCURATE RAINFALL INPUTS AND ESTIMATES OF ANTECEDENT SOIL MOISTURE CONDITIONS. AT PRESENT, OPERATORS TYPICALLY EMPLOY OPERATIONAL RADAR-GAUGE RAINFALL PRODUCTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS) AS FORCINGS TO THE MODEL, AND PRESCRIBE THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ON THE BASIS OF IN-HOUSE EXPERIENCE AND REAL-TIME OBSERVATIONS OF WATER LEVELS IN THE CHANNEL. OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE, HOWEVER, HAS POINTED TO LARGE ERRORS IN THE PREDICTED STREAMFLOW THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A COMBINATION OF ERRORS IN RAINFALL INPUTS, INAPT LOSS FACTORS, AND DEFICIENCIES IN MODEL REPRESENTATIONS OF RUNOFF PROCESSES. THE PROPOSED PROJECT, A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AMONG UTA, THREE RIVER AUTHORITIES IN TEXAS, THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, AND WEST CONSULTANTS, AIMS TO INTEGRATE SATELLITE-BASED SOIL MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION PRODUCTS IN THE REAL-TIME OPERATIONS OF THE WATER MANAGEMENT ENTITIES IN TEXAS. THE PROPOSED INTEGRATION COMPRISES TWO ELEMENTS: I) BLENDING SATELLITE SOIL MOISTURE PRODUCTS FROM THE LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM WITH STREAMFLOW OBSERVATIONS TO ESTIMATE THE INITIAL AND CONSTANT LOSS FACTOR FOR HEC-HMS, AND II) ENHANCING THE NWS MULTISENSOR PRECIPITATION ESTIMATOR PRODUCTS BY FUSING GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MISSION IMERG PRODUCT. THE PROPOSED CAPABILITIES WILL BE DEVELOPED AND TESTED USING THE HEC-HMS MODELS OPERATED AT THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER AUTHORITY USING HISTORICAL FLOOD EVENTS OVER THE PAST 18 YEARS. BY THE THIRD YEAR OF THE PROJECT, UTA AND GSFC WILL ASSIST THE THREE ENTITIES TO SET UP THE LOSS ESTIMATION AND PRECIPITATION FUSION PACKAGES WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR BOTH RETROSPECTIVE AND REAL-TIME EVALUATION OF THE PACKAGES. THE DIFFERENCES IN THE PREDICTIVE ACCURACY WILL BE ASSESSED AND DOCUMENTED BY THE ENGINEERS AND WATER MANAGERS AT THE THREE PARTNERING INSTITUTIONS, AND ANY ISSUES WILL BE RELAYED TO UTA AND GSFC. THE REAL-TIME TEST WILL ALSO YIELD DOLLAR FIGURES OF ECONOMIC LOSSES AVOIDED AND BENEFITS ACCRUED DUE TO THE NEW SYSTEM. IF SATISFACTORILY DEMONSTRATED, THE UTA WILL PARTNER WITH USACE AND WEST CONSULTANTS TO TRANSFER THE METHODOLOGIES AND THE PACKAGES TO USERS OF HEC-HMS NATIONWIDE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT ADDRESSES THE WATER RESOURCES PROGRAM PRIORITY AREAS OF A) STREAMFLOW, B) FLOOD FORECASTING, AND C) WATER DEMAND AND SUPPLY. THE PROPOSED MECHANISMS ARE EITHER DEVELOPED AND TESTED (PRECIPITATION FUSION MODULE), OR ARE BASED ON MATURE, WELL-DOCUMENTED METHODS (LOSS ESTIMATION MECHANISM), AND CURRENTLY HAVE APPLICATION READINESS LEVELS (ARL) OF 3 AND 5, RESPECTIVELY IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE RESEARCH TO BE CARRIED OUT WILL RAISE THEIR ARL TO 8 AT THE END OF THE PROJECT. | ||||||||||||

| Description | ICE CLOUDS AND SNOW ON THE SURFACE PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE EARTH-ATMOSPHERE ENERGY BUDGET THROUGH THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH SHORTWAVE AND LONGWAVE RADIATION. THE SINGLE-SCATTERING PROPERTIES OF ICE CRYSTALS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO RADIATIVE TRANSFER SIMULATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING IMPLEMENTATIONS CONCERNING THE MICROPHYSICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES ICE CLOUDS AND SNOW. GENERALLY SPEAKING, ICE CRYSTALS IN CLOUDS AND PARTICLES IN SNOW ON THE SURFACE ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY NONSPHERICAL PARTICLES WITH THE SINGLE-SCATTERING PROPERTIES DEVIATING SUBSTANTIALLY FROM THE COUNTERPARTS BASED ON THE "EQUIVALENT" ICE SPHERES. THEREFORE, IT IS NECESSARY TO USE APPROPRIATE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF ICE CRYSTALS AND SNOW PARTICLES. IN SUPPORT OF THE CERES (CLOUDS AND THE EARTH'S RADIANT ENERGY SYSTEM) SCIENCE TEAM, OUR RESEARCH GROUP AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY HAS DEVELOPED A TWO-HABIT MODEL (THM) FOR ICE CLOUD OPTICAL PROPERTIES. FIGURE 1 SHOWS THE ICE PARTICLE SHAPE DISTRIBUTION ASSUMED FOR THE THM. THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE THM LEADS TO IMPROVEMENTS IN DOWNSTREAM APPLICATIONS TO SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING. FOR EXAMPLE, FIGURE 2 SHOWS THE POLARIZED REFLECTIVITIES SIMULATED BASED ON THE CERES EDITION 2 AND THE THM OPTICAL PROPERTIES IN COMPARISON WITH THE OBSERVATIONS MADE BY THE POLARIZATION AND DIRECTIONALITY OF THE EARTH'S REFLECTANCE (POLDER). OVERALL, THE OBSERVED POLARIZED REFLECTIVITY DECREASES WITH INCREASING SCATTERING ANGLE OVER A RANGE OF 100 -170 . THE SIMULATIONS BASED ON THE THM CLOSELY MATCH WITH THOSE FROM THE OBSERVATIONS EXCEPT AT THE SCATTERING ANGLES WITH 100-120 BECAUSE OF THE WEAK POLARIZED SIDE-SCATTERING BY THE THM, WHEREAS THE SIMULATIONS BASED ON THE CERES EDITION 2 SUBSTANTIALLY DEVIATE FROM THE OBSERVATIONS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THM REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT COMPARED THE CERES EDITION 2 ICE CLOUD OPTICAL MODEL. | ||||||||||||
