Empowering Cloud Resolving Models Through GPU and Asynchronous IO

Completed TRL 4 (started at 2, targeting 4)

Description

Facilitate use of Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE), Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF), and Goddard Multi-scale Modeling Framework (MMF) with bin microphysics schemes that model aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction to: remove the largest source of uncertainty in climate modeling allow large-domain, long-term integrations to significantly improve the modeling capability of the aerosol effects for weather prediction and climate change studies

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
