Increasing Participation of Minority Serving Institutions in Earth Science
Division Surface-Based Measurement Networks
In 2021, NASA Heaquarters (HQ) issued a Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) opportunity
to address "Increasing Participation of Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) in Earth Science Division Surface-Based
Measurement Networks". The goal was to provide ground-based instruments to MSI in order to better engage these
communities in NASA Earth Science Division (ESD) Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities.
A total of 22 proposals were submitted, from which 15 were selected for funding.
The call was to provide one or more ground-based platforms consisting of AERONET, PANDORA and Precipitation Stations. The Precipitation Stations, which we discuss here, are being provided by the GPM Ground Validation program, and consists of a pair of rain gauges and for some a Parsivel Disdrometer. Of the 15 selected sites, eight chose the precipitation systems. The gauge-only systems are referred to as Platforms for In situ Estimation of Rainfall Systems (PIERS), while the gauge + disdrometer systems are referred to as PIERS+.
