This is a $339,142.26 grant award from the Shared Services Center of NASA to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to conduct a 3-year research project on how atmospheric aerosols and clouds impact solar radiation and vegetation productivity in the Amazon basin. The project aims to use satellite observations and the GEOS-5 climate model to analyze the seasonal and interannual relationships between aerosols, clouds, radiation, and forest growth in the Amazon. No set-aside was used...
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...
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) has been awarded a $252,495 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to improve understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions through combining Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and A-Train satellite data. The research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to analyze large numbers of ship tracks visible in the satellite imagery to advance knowledge of aerosol...
This is a $444,187.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to develop algorithms and conduct synergistic analysis for retrieving aerosol vertical distributions using measurements from the O2 A/B bands and polarimetric data from blue bands. The award supports UMBC's research in Earth science, which the university has previously conducted for NASA through prime and subcontract agreements. As a member of the University System of...
This is a $140,410.98 grant award to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports research to investigate constraints on the variability and spatial correlation structure of hydrometeors in the atmospheric column, and the impacts of hydrometeor variability on GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) estimation of falling snow water equivalent rates. The work leverages data from GPM...
