This is a $718,755.59 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government research institution, for a 3-year research project under NASA's FIRECHEM solicitation. The project aims to acquire high-quality, fast, sensitive measurements of key atmospheric gases like formaldehyde, methanol, ethylene, and ethane that are important for understanding the impacts of wildfires on regional emissions and atmospheric composition. The University of Colorado will deploy its specialized CAMS airborne instrumentation suite to collect this data during NASA DC-8 research flights. The effort will include upgrades to the CAMS-1 and CAMS-2 spectrometers, rigorous instrument testing, and detailed data analysis in collaboration with atmospheric modelers. This grant was awarded without a set-aside designation.
