Machine Learning and ocean variables for improved predictions of water availability in the US
SBC: SALIENT PREDICTIONS INC Topic: 94Salient Predictions Inc. proposes to develop new technology for accurate subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) water availability forecasts so that communities may manage water resources in preparation for hazardous events like floods and droughts. Current hydrological models face challenges related to data inputs, as climate change has been presenting weather patterns atypical from historical data. Witho ...

Smokesonde: Low cost in-situ sampling of smoke and convective storm intensity supporting fire weather and incident meteorology
SBC: YANKEE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 91We propose to develop in-situ low cost sensors to support fire meteorology for wildland fire emergency response, by blanketing the fire area with real time measurements. Sensors can be air-deployed to provide vertical atmospheric measurement profiles or hand-emplaced for augmenting existing surface fire weather stations. Each telemeters precision measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, i ...

HydroForecast Seasonal: Improving operational water supply forecasts to enable risk-based decisions and planning
SBC: UPSTREAM PBC Topic: 94Ensuring a safe water supply for society and the sectors that rely on water for economic and environmental purposes is a difficult problem that needs significant investment in R&D across public and private organizations. Climate change accelerates and exacerbates this challenge, causing a breakdown in some traditional approaches that use the past to predict the future streamflow on a seasonal (10 ...

AeroLite Sense: Atmospheric Aerosols and Particulates Observations from the Stratosphere
SBC: STRATOSOLUTIONS INC Topic: 91The long endurance “StratoSonde” lighter-than-air, uncrewed system combines a low-cost, 5day endurance StratoSonde supports up to 10 micro-dropsondes, which when released from the HAB, descend safely through the entire atmospheric column under a ribbon drogue while reporting observations directly back to the HAB. This project will assess the feasibility of integrating a disposable miniature ae ...

Controlled Altitude Ballooning (CAB) for monitoring Energetic Particle effects on the Atmosphere
SBC: Space Balloon Technologies Corp. Topic: 96SpaceLoon proposes to design, prototype, and test a consistent, reliable, and bi-directional Controlled Altitude Ballooning (CAB) system for monitoring climate constituents, such as energetic particles (solar and cosmic) and thermodynamic variables, across various atmospheric layers. The absence of linkage between space weather events and atmospheric physics, chemistry, and dynamics, creates voids ...

Increasing Water Use Efficiency by Addressing Sensor Cost Barriers Using Novel Technology
SBC: TRANSCEND ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC Topic: 96The project objective is to greatly reduce the cost of monitoring soil water content in highly-resolved vertical profile to promote increased adoption of more efficient water management tools. Cost is the most significant barrier to adoption of sophisticated data-driven irrigation management in permanent agriculture. Highly-resolved vertical soil water profiles are needed to learn soil-specific hy ...

UrbanScale: Physics Informed Deep Learning Framework to Generate High-Resolution Urban Temperature Data
SBC: SYNTHETIK APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: 91Elevated temperatures observed in urban areas have significant implications for human health, energy consumption and infrastructure reliability, and their negative effects disproportionately impact disadvantaged populations. Increasing scientific and practical understanding of urban heat islands is an important step in identifying those regions at elevated risk, and effective mitigation strategi ...

Nitric Oxide Measurements to improve Atmospheric Densities (NOMAD)
SBC: SPACE ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: 95The Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Electrodynamics (I-T-E) Earth system varies markedly on different spatial and temporal scales and this variation can have adverse effects on human operations and systems. There is a need to specify and forecast near-Earth I-T-E space weather to reduce the risks from hazards to systems that operate in this environment. An indicator of the current state and the near-term ...
