- This is a $830,336 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) for the Aerosol Cloud Meteorology Interactions over the Western Atlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE). ACTIVATE is a four-year (FY2019-FY2023) Earth Venture Suborbital-3 program that will acquire in-situ and remote sensing data on aerosols, marine boundary layer clouds, and meteorological conditions over the western North Atlantic Ocean. The research...
- The University of Southern California (USC) has been awarded a $194,998 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct the "EO14042 AEROSOL CLOUD METEOROLOGY INTERACTIONS OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC EXPERIMENT (ACTIVATE)" research project. This 3-year grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will support USC's work to study the interactions between aerosols, clouds, and meteorology over the western Atlantic Ocean. As a leading private research...
- This is a $314,149.35 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct research on "Cloud-Relevant Aerosol Chemistry and Physics: Overcoming the Clear Sky Bias." The research aims to understand how aerosol physical and chemical properties differ during cloudy and clear-sky periods over the central and eastern United States, and how the vertical profiles of climate-relevant radiative properties of fine particle mass vary during these conditions. The...
- This is a $473,985.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to study the effects of aerosols on cloud microphysics in the warming Arctic climate. The project will leverage data from various satellite instruments, models, and ground/aircraft-based observations to characterize cloud properties and aerosol impacts, with the goal of improving parameterizations of aerosol-cloud interactions in Earth system models....
- This is a $756,429 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to conduct research on the impacts of black carbon aerosols on atmospheric temperature and cloud cover. The research aims to better understand the "semi-direct effect" of absorbing aerosols on cloud processes across different global regions. The study will leverage satellite data from instruments like CALIPSO,...
- This is a $680,590.95 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to participate in the second through fifth field studies of the Atmospheric Carbon and Transport-America (ACT-America) mission. The goal of ACT-America is to better understand and quantify sources and sinks of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane. CU will fabricate a compact atmospheric spectrometer instrument for installation on NASA's UC-12 aircraft to...
- This federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park funds research into the radiative effects of aerosols on deep convective clouds and their impact on the Earth's radiation budget. The $450,590.51 award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will support a 4-year study to: 1) derive a global climatology of aerosol-mediated cloud radiative forcing for deep convective clouds, 2) estimate changes in upper troposphere/lower stratosphere water vapor from...
- This is a $2,595,534.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct a field measurement campaign using the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft. The research will investigate the dynamics and chemistry of the summer stratosphere over central North America, combining in-situ aircraft observations with satellite, radar, and model data to understand the role of convection in the composition and dynamics of the lower...
- This is a $95,151.41 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to conduct satellite data analysis and radiative transfer simulations in support of above-cloud absorbing aerosols studies. The research aims to quantify the impact of aerosols transported above low clouds, which can influence climate. The grant leverages data from NASA's A-Train satellite constellation, including the CALIPSO lidar, to develop algorithms for retrieving...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University in the amount of $725,892.13. The grant is for a research project to study microphysical processes that control water and clouds in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), the role of convection in generating cirrus and moistening the lower stratosphere, and the water budget of the lowermost stratosphere. The research will use models and observations from NASA's Aura...
