About this award
The University of Chicago has been awarded a $120,004 research grant to investigate aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) in marine boundary layer clouds using a regime-based analytical approach. The project leverages satellite data from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) mission for aerosol extinction coefficients and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) derived cloud properties spanning 2006 to 2014, combined with simulations from the 1-degree Energy Exascale Earth System Model Version 2 (E3SMv2). This research will advance understanding of cloud-aerosol interactions, a critical component of climate science modeling. The award is unclassified as a set-aside contract and was issued on July 30, 2025, with a completion date of July 29, 2026.
This grant was issued by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center and will be conducted at the University of Chicago's Chicago, Illinois campus. As a leading research institution with extensive experience in federal research and development, the University of Chicago brings substantial expertise in climate science, Earth system modeling, and satellite data analysis to this initiative. The research contributes to the broader federal investment in understanding atmospheric processes and improving climate prediction capabilities through advanced computational modeling and observational data analysis.
