- This is a $4,291,659.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona for the "Aerosol Cloud Meteorology Interactions over the Western Atlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE)" project. The five-year effort aims to collect statistical data on the interactions between aerosols, cloud properties, and meteorology in marine boundary layer clouds over the western North Atlantic. The project will use two NASA research aircraft based at Langley Research Center to conduct in-situ and remote sensing...
- This contract award to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research organization, supports the ACTIVATE (Aerosol-Cloud-meteorology Interaction Research) scientific field campaign. ACTIVATE will deploy two specialized aircraft, the NASA Langley Research Center HU-25 Falcon and B-200 King Air, to conduct in-situ and remote sensing measurements of aerosols, clouds, and meteorology over the western North Atlantic Ocean. The $823,419 grant will fund approximately 600...
- 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 $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 is a $305,449 grant awarded by NASA to Clark University to support the ACT-America research project. The overarching goals of ACT-America are to reduce uncertainties in mesoscale atmospheric transport and biogenic surface carbon flux estimates using targeted aircraft measurement campaigns and a regional inversion system. This will improve constraints on surface biogenic carbon fluxes and associated ecosystem model parameters, which will then be transferred to a multi-year, continental-scale...
- This is a $322,171 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for a research project titled "GLOBAL IMPACT OF CONVECTION ON UTLS CLOUDS, COMPOSITION, AND DYNAMICS BASED ON NASA SATELLITE AND AIRBORNE MEASUREMENTS". The project will investigate the global impact of convection on upper...
- 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 $859,336.32 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium managing the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is focused on improving the representation of cloud processes in Earth system models used for both weather and climate prediction. The goal is to develop a unified treatment of cloud microphysics that can integrate with different...
- 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 is a federal grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a non-profit research organization. The $159,051.93 grant is for the Atmospheric Carbon and Transport-America (ACT-America) mission, which aims to advance the ability to predict and manage future climate change by enabling policy-relevant quantification of the carbon cycle....
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 aims to quantify relationships between aerosols, cloud condensation nuclei, and cloud properties, improve understanding of factors governing cloud micro- and macro-physical properties, and assess advanced remote sensing capabilities for aerosol-cloud interaction studies. ACTIVATE will utilize two NASA aircraft - the HU-25 Falcon and B-200 King Air. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
