Collaborate on a sampling program for collecting data to support fisheries and ecological and climate change studies. The resulting data will be incorporated into the US-Poland Joint Fishery Ecology Project, shared with the Asch Fisheries Oceanography Laboratory at ECU, and be made available to the public through existing NOAA data-sharing mechanisms.

Deploy a low-altitude weather radar network that has the potential to improve high-resolution monitoring of precipitation leading to flash-floods and the detection of tornadoes, hail, snow bands, microbursts, and mesoscale boundaries. Partners will assess the Climavision radar data quality and conduct due diligence of the radar network towards improving the accuracy and timeliness of existing operational severe weather and hydrology products.

Improve the design of the NOAA-PMEL PRAWLER (PRofiler+crawler) moored profiling platform. Researchers will conduct field tests and make modifications to prepare the technology for commercialization, including increasing the instrument’s endurance, expanding its sensors and sampling capabilities, and reducing manufacturing costs.

Develop an improved radar rainfall technology that incorporates data from Harris County’s Flood Warning System rain gauges into NOAA’s existing radar rainfall products. This integration will increase the spatial resolution and update frequency of real-time rainfall estimates, which can improve hydrologic modeling and post-wildfire analyses, and otherwise support a Weather-Ready Nation.
