- This is a $565,697 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Iowa for research related to nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions trends in the United States. The project will use data from multiple satellite sensors, including Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), as well as ground-based observations, to quantify NOx emissions at monthly and regional scales from...
- This is a $279,880.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on intra-urban and intra-pixel variability in the concentrations of short-lived atmospheric trace gases and its impact on satellite-based observations. The research aims to quantify and explain intra-urban variability in tropospheric column densities of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO), reconcile satellite remote...
- This $277,499.12 federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) supports the development and production of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) data products from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) instrument. The goal is to continue the critical Earth Observing System (EOS) data records for these key air quality and climate indicators that were previously provided by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)...
- This is a $661,465.54 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology's research organization, Georgia Tech Research Corporation. The grant funds research to analyze satellite, ground-based, and in-situ observations of tropospheric nitrogen oxides (NOx) over the United States. The goal is to better understand air quality and emission trends using satellite data, particularly from instruments like the Ozone Monitoring...
- This is a $218,991.39 grant awarded to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project that will use long-lived trace gas records to address questions about ozone trend attribution, stratospheric circulation change, and the sensitivity of ozone projections to simulated dynamical variability. The research aims to quantify the effect of declining ozone-depleting substances...
- This is a $139,288.62 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for research to develop tools and methods to extract and interpret city-level particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring and forecast data from NASA satellite and model data, making this information more accessible to the public and end-users. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. USRA has extensive experience supporting...
- Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit organization, was awarded a $149,414.60 cooperative agreement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The purpose of this contract is for USRA to develop consistent long-term global data records of tropospheric and stratospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) columns from multiple satellite instruments, as well as value-added surface NO2 concentrations and anthropogenic NOx emissions. This effort will...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $288,522.37 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to validate satellite observations of atmospheric trace species such as aerosols, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and water vapor against other measurement platforms. The effort will use a chemistry model to reconcile sunrise and sunset observations from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument on the International Space Station. This...
- This is a $55,646.23 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to derive surface nitrogen dioxide (NO2) measurements from orbital and suborbital observations. The purpose is to maximize the use of current and future NASA data for tropospheric composition and air quality studies. UMBC is a public research university that is part of the University System of Maryland, which has a long history of providing research, measurement, and...
- This is a $270,259.55 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) on May 3, 2019. The grant supports a research project to improve estimates of emissions of short-lived air pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), using satellite observations. The project will develop the NASA Satellite-Derived Emission (SATEM) database to quantify these emissions at enhanced...
This is a $188,104.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to develop a global surface nitrogen dioxide (NO2) dataset using observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite. The project aims to enhance the relevance of NASA satellite data to tropospheric composition, health, and air quality studies by improving methods to infer surface NO2 concentrations from the atmospheric column measurements. The grant will fund tasks to evaluate and refine high-resolution model simulations, process and evaluate existing NO2 data products from the DISCOVER-AQ field campaign, and analyze the relationships between satellite observations and surface concentrations. The goal is to generate improved surface NO2 products that can be used for mission-long global monitoring from the OMI standard data. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
