As a public research university with extensive expertise across...
- This federal contract award is a grant for $199,122 provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine). The grant is for research related to NASA's chemistry and climate models, as well as the MERRA-2 meteorological fields. UC Irvine is a major public research university that has previously received federal funding from agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and Department of...
- This federal contract award funds the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to continue its long-standing global atmospheric monitoring program, which has measured concentrations of key trace gases since 1978. The $1,433,026 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will allow UCI to maintain its seasonal air sampling at 40-50 remote Pacific basin sites, analyzing up to 55 compounds including greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting agents, and other key atmospheric...
- This is a $429,931 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine), a major public research university located in Irvine, California. The grant is for a two-year research project focused on developing a methodology to improve the accuracy and resolution of satellite-based precipitation retrieval estimates. The research aims to incorporate spatial patterns and covariation of satellite...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC18K0756, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine). The $237,547.16 grant supports research aimed at improving the understanding of global water cycle dynamics in climate models and observations. The study seeks to identify key mechanisms that drive the spread in global mean precipitation across climate models, as well as understand why many models overestimate the...
- 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 $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 project will leverage NASA satellite data, surface observations, and cloud chemistry modeling to address key knowledge gaps around the impacts of clouds on aerosol composition and distribution. This research directly supports NASA's strategic objective to understand the Earth system. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, as UC Irvine is competing for the award based on its extensive research capabilities in atmospheric science and climate-related areas.
