The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) has been awarded a $252,495 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to improve understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions through combining Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and A-Train satellite data. The research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to analyze large numbers of ship tracks visible in the satellite imagery to advance knowledge of aerosol...
This is a $339,142.26 grant award from the Shared Services Center of NASA to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to conduct a 3-year research project on how atmospheric aerosols and clouds impact solar radiation and vegetation productivity in the Amazon basin. The project aims to use satellite observations and the GEOS-5 climate model to analyze the seasonal and interannual relationships between aerosols, clouds, radiation, and forest growth in the Amazon. No set-aside was used...
This is a $444,187.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to develop algorithms and conduct synergistic analysis for retrieving aerosol vertical distributions using measurements from the O2 A/B bands and polarimetric data from blue bands. The award supports UMBC's research in Earth science, which the university has previously conducted for NASA through prime and subcontract agreements. As a member of the University System of...
This is a $135,072.96 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) for a 4-year research project. The project aims to develop improved parameterizations of wet scavenging processes for aerosols in the NASA GEOS-5 climate model, which are critical for accurately simulating aerosol loadings, radiative forcing, and interactions with clouds and precipitation. The research seeks to enhance the...
