About this award
The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) received a $252,495 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center on January 1, 2024, to improve understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions through analysis of ship tracks using MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and A-Train satellite data. The work will be performed at UMBC's Baltimore, Maryland facility and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026. This grant was awarded without a set-aside designation, reflecting UMBC's competitive standing as a research institution.
The research project aligns with NASA's Earth Science Mission Directorate priorities in atmospheric and climate science. UMBC, as a comprehensive research university with substantial capabilities in Earth science and remote sensing applications, is well-positioned to conduct this investigation of aerosol-cloud interactions through satellite data integration. The award supports UMBC's established role as a federal research partner, consistent with the university's broader portfolio of NASA-funded research spanning Earth observation, atmospheric studies, and climate monitoring initiatives. UMBC operates as a subsidiary institution within the University System of Maryland.
