- This is a $112,500.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System (University of Houston) for research into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and its impact on the formation of tropospheric ozone, the nitrate radical, and nitric acid. The grant is part of NASA's Human Research Program and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Houston System, a Hispanic Serving Institution and state institution of higher learning, has...
- This is a $661,465.54 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology's research organization, Georgia Tech Research Corporation. The grant funds research to analyze satellite, ground-based, and in-situ observations of tropospheric nitrogen oxides (NOx) over the United States. The goal is to better understand air quality and emission trends using satellite data, particularly from instruments like the Ozone Monitoring...
- This is a $188,104.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to develop a global surface nitrogen dioxide (NO2) dataset using observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite. The project aims to enhance the relevance of NASA satellite data to tropospheric composition, health, and air quality studies by improving methods to infer surface NO2...
- This is a $565,697 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Iowa for research related to nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions trends in the United States. The project will use data from multiple satellite sensors, including Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), as well as ground-based observations, to quantify NOx emissions at monthly and regional scales from...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Iowa for the Geostationary Trace Gas and Aerosol Sensor Optimization (GEOTASO) instrument. GEOTASO will be deployed on the NASA DC-8 aircraft to measure spatially resolved vertical abundances of trace gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, formaldehyde, and sulfur dioxide, as well as aerosol optical depth, in support of the Korea-US Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) study objectives. The...
- This is a $1,404,420.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant is for a collaborative research project between U.S. and Korean science teams to conduct multi-platform observations of reactive nitrogen species, sulfur dioxide, and halogen species. The project will involve deploying three chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS)...
- This is a $279,880.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on intra-urban and intra-pixel variability in the concentrations of short-lived atmospheric trace gases and its impact on satellite-based observations. The research aims to quantify and explain intra-urban variability in tropospheric column densities of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO), reconcile satellite remote...
- This $277,499.12 federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) supports the development and production of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) data products from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) instrument. The goal is to continue the critical Earth Observing System (EOS) data records for these key air quality and climate indicators that were previously provided by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)...
- The University of Houston has been awarded a $201,929 grant by NASA to further develop and test an improved balloon-borne sonde for measuring sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere. The University of Houston and St. Edward's University have collaborated since 2016 on developing a sonde with enhanced lower and upper detection limits for SO2 compared to previous dual-ozonesonde methods. Initial field tests in Hawaii showed variability in sensitivity between sondes and calibration, likely due to...
- This $463,798.86 federal grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Houston System on April 17, 2020. The grant is for research using inverse modeling and deep learning approaches to investigate nitrogen oxides (NOx), formaldehyde (HCHO), and ozone sensitivity over the continental United States. This research is aimed at improving emission inventories for these key ozone precursors to support ozone modeling. The grant does not have a set-aside...
This is a grant awarded by NASA to the University of Houston System to deploy a small instrument package capable of unattended operation to collect in-situ measurements of ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) aboard the RIV Onnuri during the KORUS-OC field campaign. The in-situ surface measurements of O3 and NO2 are critical to better characterize boundary layer contributions to total column measurements from remote sensing instrumentation such as PANDORA, GEO-TASO, and OMI satellite. The results will aid in the development of remote sensing retrieval algorithms for ocean color by GOCI and near-surface pollutants by satellites like TEMPO and GEMS. This grant, valued at $171,612.22, has a performance period ending on May 27, 2020 and was awarded on January 15, 2016. The University of Houston System, as the prime contractor, has a long history of supporting NASA, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense on a variety of research and development projects.
