The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $605,459.00 cooperative agreement to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division to continue a longstanding collaboration with the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) on atmospheric composition-climate interactions. The research aims to: (1) coordinate composition modeling to maintain and improve GISS climate modeling capabilities as the model evolves; (2) utilize Duke's developed metrics to...
This federal contract award, NNX15AL25G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University to examine the processes by which solar irradiance variations affect the Earth's atmosphere and climate. The $187,434.25 grant will support research using a state-of-the-art climate model driven by spectrally discriminated variations in solar output observed by the SORCE satellite. The research will investigate changes in atmospheric composition, circulation, and surface climate, comparing results against available observations. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division is the prime contractor for this award, which is part of a larger NASA program focused on top-down and bottom-up influences of solar forcing on climate.
