About this award
The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), operating as Rfcuny - City College, has been awarded a $42,456 grant from a civilian federal agency to conduct research titled "Exploring A-Train Observations of Land-Ocean Contrast in Convective Cloud Characteristics and Their Ambient Environment Toward Improving GCM Cumulus Parameterizations." The award, issued on October 17, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2026, represents a research grant focused on utilizing observations from NASA's A-Train satellite constellation to analyze cloud characteristics over different surface types. This research supports efforts to enhance general circulation model (GCM) cumulus parameterizations, which are critical components in improving climate and weather prediction accuracy. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation, reflecting RFCUNY's competitive standing in the federal research marketplace.
RFCUNY, as the fiscal administrator for sponsored research across the City University of New York system, leverages the scientific expertise of City College and other CUNY campuses to conduct federally-funded research in support of national priorities. The organization has established itself as a capable research partner with extensive experience in atmospheric science and climate-related investigations for agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation. The research will be conducted at City College's location in New York, NY, where CUNY maintains facilities and faculty expertise in environmental and atmospheric science disciplines relevant to this cloud physics and climate modeling investigation.
