- This is a $535,520 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin (UW) System for research on aerosol measurements and vertical distribution. The research aims to improve understanding of the variability in aerosol scattering properties, including the lidar ratio, and relate these properties to regional aerosol sources. The project will leverage UW's High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) and NASA Langley's HSRL2 measurements from field...
- This $682,616 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System, operating through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, to develop a satellite-constrained meteorological modeling platform for air quality assessment modeling along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The modeling platform will use the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and incorporate high-resolution regional nests, as well as assimilate NASA...
- This is a $247,498.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System for research on "ADVANCED UNDERSTANDING AND MODELING OF POLAR CLOUD AND PRECIPITATION PROCESSES USING CLOUDSAT, CALIPSO, AND COMPLEMENTARY DATASETS". The grant is for research purposes and has an ultimate completion date of October 24, 2023. The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division operating as Research...
- This federal contract award is a $90,194 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System, a U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant college. The objective of the research is to develop new methods to retrieve attenuated backscatter coefficient and extinction data from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) satellite instrument, while maintaining the high spatial and vertical resolution of...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System, operating through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, to conduct research on the relationship between tropical cirrus clouds and stratospheric water vapor. The $105,265.85 training grant will explore how radiative heating impacts cloud properties, ice sedimentation, and water vapor entering the stratosphere, which is necessary for improving climate modeling...
- This is a $337,092 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System for research on "Environmental Controls on Tropical Oceanic Convection". The grant, which runs from July 2023 to July 2026, supports scientific research in the area of weather and climate. The University of Wisconsin System is a public university system headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, and is the prime contractor for this grant. This grant award is...
- This is a $319,120.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wyoming to study the role of aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in determining the skill and predictability of subseasonal and seasonal weather forecasts. The proposed research aims to fill a gap in understanding how aerosol impacts on climate can manifest over shorter timescales and influence weather prediction. The project will leverage reanalysis techniques, atmospheric...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $244,104 grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, as part of the Research and Sponsored Programs division of the University of Wisconsin System, to deploy the University's High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) system to the Manila Observatory in the Philippines. This deployment is intended to enhance the ground-based observation capabilities for the Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes - Philippines Experiment (CAMP2EX)...
- This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provides funding to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to develop a global, diurnal aerosol data set by fusing observations from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. The $655,481 grant will enable the University to apply its established "Dark Target" aerosol retrieval algorithm to imagery from advanced geostationary sensors like the GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager, generating three...
- This is a $459,124 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Wisconsin System for a project under the FY20 ROSES A.23 "Atmospheric Composition Campaign Data Analysis and Modeling" call. The project will utilize airborne and satellite data collected during the NASA/NOAA FIRE Influence on Regional to Global Environ campaign. The grant has a period of performance through January 6, 2026. The University of Wisconsin System, including its flagship campus at the University of...
This is a $258,425 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) to conduct research on the nature of lower to middle free troposphere (LMFT) aerosol and cloud features. The research will leverage data from the SEAC4RS airborne research campaign, including ground-based lidar and in-situ aircraft observations, combined with remote sensing and mesoscale modeling. The goal is to better understand the sources and properties of LMFT aerosol layers and their relationship to alto-level clouds, as well as the transformation of aerosol particle chemistry and microphysics as air is transported from the planetary boundary layer to the free troposphere. This research grant is not associated with any larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation.
