This is a $788,938.00 grant award from a Civilian Federal agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a 6-year research project to deploy the Differential Aerosol Sizing and Hygroscopicity Spectrometer Probe (DASH-SP) on a NASA aircraft during the Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface-Interaction Experiment (ARCSIX). The objective is to collect rapid, size-resolved measurements of aerosol hygroscopic growth factor and refractive index to advance...
This is a $647,779 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Illinois for research related to the Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX) conducted in 2019. The overall goal of CAMP2EX was to characterize the role of anthropogenic and natural aerosols in modulating precipitation in the Philippines during the southwest monsoon. This grant will fund continued research using data collected...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $970,857.00 grant to the University of Illinois to support the Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX) field campaign. The grant aims to characterize the role of anthropogenic and natural aerosols in modulating cloud and precipitation over the Philippines during the southwest monsoon. Key objectives include providing calibration and validation data for satellite observations, analyzing geostationary...
This federal contract award to The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division, a prominent research institution based in St. Louis, Missouri, provides $516,987.00 to perform high time resolution in-situ aerosol size distribution measurements on board the NASA P-3B aircraft for the Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes-Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX). The university will deploy a Fast Integrated Mobility Spectrometer (FIMS) instrument to characterize the role of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,077,985.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to measure spectrally resolved shortwave irradiance with the Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR) onboard the NASA P-3B aircraft in support of the Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX). The data collected will be used to address mission objectives...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the Langley Aerosol Research Group Experiment (LARGE) as part of the Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes-Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX) mission. The grant, valued at $317,401.00, will fund the delivery of high-precision in situ measurements of aerosols, clouds, and meteorological conditions aboard the NASA P-3B aircraft. The effort will include operating an aerosol...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $823,174 research grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to provide the Research Scanning Polarimeter (RSP) instrument for the Clouds, Aerosol, and Monsoon Processes-Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX) campaign. The RSP will be used to make airborne observations of aerosols, clouds, and atmospheric conditions in the Philippines during the southwest monsoon to enhance...
This is a $4,291,659.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona for the "Aerosol Cloud Meteorology Interactions over the Western Atlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE)" project. The five-year effort aims to collect statistical data on the interactions between aerosols, cloud properties, and meteorology in marine boundary layer clouds over the western North Atlantic. The project will use two NASA research aircraft based at Langley Research Center to conduct in-situ and remote sensing...
This federal contract award, valued at $1,213,200.16, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the impacts of aerosols on the microphysical and dynamical processes of tropical convection and cold pools, and their environmental modulation. The research aims to enhance scientific understanding of these complex aerosol-cloud-environmental interactions, which will help improve representation of these processes...
This is a $350,135.38 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Denver to collaboratively update the aerosol observing capability of high-altitude NASA aircraft. The award will fund the building, calibration, and flight-testing of a new Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) Aerosol Measurement Package (UTLS-AMP). This package includes several updated instruments, such as the Nucleation-Mode Aerosol Size Spectrometer (NMASS),...
