The Regents of the University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $134,998.72 federal grant (Contract #80NSSC20K1642) by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to conduct research on the complex relationships between volatile organic compound emissions, primary organic aerosol formation, and secondary organic aerosol formation within smoke plumes. The grant, which does not have a set-aside...
This is a grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado in the amount of $752,955.23 to conduct research using an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the KORUS-AQ field campaign. The research aims to improve understanding of the sources and chemical evolution of organic aerosols (OA) over the Korean Peninsula, which is critical for improving satellite aerosol retrievals and regional air quality models. The University will use the AMS to...
This federal contract award, NNX16AO47H, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to develop an aircraft-borne autonomous closed-path laser isotopologue hygrometer (CLIH) for measurements of stable isotopes in cloud water. The $119,999.57 contract, which was not set aside, aims to enable studies to reduce uncertainties in cloud processes and the hydrological cycle, with...
This is a $948,852 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado, for a research project titled "AIRBORNE INVESTIGATION INTO SOURCES, PATHWAYS AND BUDGETS OF URBAN SOA AND SIA.PRODUCTION AND EVOLUTION OVER ASIAN MEGACITIES". The grant is for a research project focused on studying the sources, pathways, and budgets of urban secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, in the amount of $839,559.91. The grant funds research to characterize primary organic aerosol (OA) and inorganic emissions from agricultural and wild fires, and study the evolution of OA and inorganic aerosols downwind of these fires, including secondary OA formation and...
This federal contract award, numbered NNX15AV02G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $773,659.94 grant funds a 3-year research effort to acquire high-quality, fast airborne measurements of formaldehyde (CH2O) and ethane (C2H6), two ozone precursors, on NASA's DC-8 aircraft. This supports the Korea-U.S. Air Quality Study (KORUS-AQ), which aims to advance NASA's air quality goals through a field study focused on the South Korean peninsula and surrounding waters. The University of Colorado will prepare its Compact Atmospheric Multispecies Spectrometer (CAMS) system, conduct calibrations, integrate CAMS on the DC-8, participate in the KORUS-AQ field study, and collaborate with atmospheric modelers on data analysis. This award is not designated as a set-aside contract.
