- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $444,160.19 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometers (AMS). The objective is to better constrain the uncertainties in AMS quantification, particularly for NASA aircraft measurement campaigns. The research tasks include investigating AMS quantification using existing NASA...
- This is a grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado in the amount of $752,955.23 to conduct research using an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the KORUS-AQ field campaign. The research aims to improve understanding of the sources and chemical evolution of organic aerosols (OA) over the Korean Peninsula, which is critical for improving satellite aerosol retrievals and regional air quality models. The University will use the AMS to...
- This federal contract award to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. (AER) is a $178,869.46 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The purpose of the grant is to provide direct assessment and validation of the capability for NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite to accurately resolve regional-scale gradients of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in an urban domain. AER will leverage a network of...
- This is a $690,489.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for a research project focused on characterizing the volatility of organic aerosols (OA) in the atmosphere. The project aims to leverage data from multiple NASA and National Science Foundation (NSF) airborne measurement campaigns to develop improved parameterizations of...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, in the amount of $839,559.91. The grant funds research to characterize primary organic aerosol (OA) and inorganic emissions from agricultural and wild fires, and study the evolution of OA and inorganic aerosols downwind of these fires, including secondary OA formation and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $134,696.11 training grant contract to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government educational institution. The contract is focused on measuring the optical properties of brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which can contribute to both the cooling and warming effects of atmospheric particles. Using cavity ring down spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and aerosol mass spectrometry, the...
- This is a $350,135.38 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Denver to collaboratively update the aerosol observing capability of high-altitude NASA aircraft. The award will fund the building, calibration, and flight-testing of a new Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) Aerosol Measurement Package (UTLS-AMP). This package includes several updated instruments, such as the Nucleation-Mode Aerosol Size Spectrometer (NMASS),...
- This federal contract award, valued at $806,723.67, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is for research aimed at improving the use of aerosol and trace gas remote sensing data from sources like the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer...
- Aerodyne Research Inc., a manufacturer of specialized environmental monitoring equipment, was awarded a definitive $749,999.00 contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop an electrometric aviation soot monitor instrument. The award is a Small Business set-aside, intended to determine soot particle mass distribution from aircraft engine exhaust and other internal combustion emissions. The proposed instrument utilizes a novel approach to...
- This is a $558,075 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research and graduate education institute. The grant is for research to characterize the wet scavenging process, which is a dominant loss process for aerosols, but has high uncertainty in model parameterizations, contributing to large uncertainties in simulated aerosol loadings and radiative forcing. The grant does not have a set-aside...
This federal contract award is a $213,196 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Aerodyne Research Inc. (ARI), a for-profit manufacturer and R&D services provider. The grant funds a collaborative project between ARI and researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder to conduct measurements of ambient aerosol particles using ARI's aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS) instruments. The project aims to improve the calibration of the relative ionization efficiency of organic aerosol material in the AMS. This grant does not have any set-aside designations and is intended to directly support NASA's atmospheric chemistry and air pollution research priorities through the development and refinement of advanced environmental monitoring technologies.
