This is a $113,205.01 grant awarded by NASA to Global Atmospheric Technologies and Sciences, Inc. (GATS) for research on polar mesospheric clouds (PMC). The research aims to interpret longitudinal and local time variations in PMC, which are thin, ephemeral layers of ice-water clouds occurring in very cold upper atmosphere temperatures. GATS is an aerospace company focused on remote sensing and atmospheric science, and has received several prior federal research grants and contracts from agencies...
This is a grant award to Global Atmospheric Technologies And Sciences, Inc. (GATS), a for-profit aerospace company, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $279,387.53 grant is for research to quantify the effects of the 2-day wave on polar mesospheric clouds and the coupling of the 2-day wave to planetary Rossby wave breaking and inertial instability. The research aims to enhance the understanding of polar mesospheric cloud variability as a...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Global Atmospheric Technologies And Sciences, Inc. (GATS), a for-profit aerospace company. The grant, with a value of $788,251.71, is to conduct research on small-scale gravity wave, instability, and turbulence dynamics in the middle and upper atmosphere. This research aims to improve understanding of the transport and deposition of energy and momentum throughout the atmosphere, which impacts the...
This $696,905.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado will investigate the missing solar cycle response in mesospheric temperature, water vapor, and ice during the recent 15 years. The research will use satellite observations of polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) and focused modeling experiments to understand the influence of factors like changing ozone, volcanic eruptions, and greenhouse gases on the solar...
This is a $663,985.58 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates LLC, doing business as Orion Space Solutions, a small business research and development company. The grant is for a research project to study the time-dependent neutral chemistry and transport of water in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere, and determine the impact on temperature and ice cloud formation. The research aims to answer three key...
This is a $134,529.72 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas A&M University on September 1, 2017. The goal of the research is to develop a bispectral retrieval technique using sub-millimeter and thermal infrared wave radiometry to accurately measure ice water path (IWP) and ice particle effective diameter (D_eff) in clouds. This research aims to address discrepancies in IWP values in general circulation models due to...
This is a $77,725.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University to investigate errors in the modeling of Arctic clouds in climate models and the implications for climate change simulations. The project aims to quantify, describe, and understand the statistical linkages between Arctic clouds and atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, and sea ice properties, in order to pinpoint the model processes responsible for inaccurate cloud...
This is a $92,578.61 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research on water vapor concentration, cloud abundance, and their impact on the Earth's climate and stratospheric chemistry.
