This $1,920,000.00 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The contract supports UCAR/NCAR's work on the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC), a global initiative established in the late 1980s to provide long-term, calibrated measurements of...
This is a $359,943.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit organization that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant will fund a project to use NASA field and satellite data to study the conditions leading to mixed-phase (liquid and ice) clouds and their evolution. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract. UCAR frequently collaborates...
This is a $1,047,269 grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The award is to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, agency priorities, and congressional direction.

This is a $594,905.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for a project titled "CONTINUOUS MULTI-SPECIES VOC MEASUREMENTS ABOARD THE NASA DC-8 AIRCRAFT DURING THE ASIA-AQ FIELD CAMPAIGN" and has a period of performance through April 30, 2026. UCAR, a non-profit organization, will provide specialized...
This $711,719.00 federal grant award to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region of Earth's atmosphere. The grant supports using numerical simulations and satellite data to better understand how global MLT temperature changes during geomagnetic storms and the resulting impacts on atmospheric waves and mean flow. UCAR, a non-profit...
This federal grant award, valued at $584,609.20, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the parent organization of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant funds research to better characterize and quantify heterogeneous halogen chemistry outside polar regions, using satellite data and the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM2). The research aims to understand the potential impacts of this chemistry on ozone depletion, chemical budgets, and organic molecule lifetimes in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. This work will provide a critical test of the CESM2 model and photochemical understanding by comparing observations and model outputs. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the work will primarily be performed at NCAR's facilities in Boulder, Colorado.
