This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K1136, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to continue the university's long-running program monitoring global atmospheric trace gas levels. Since 1978, UCI has collected over 9,000 whole air samples from remote regions of the Pacific Basin, analyzing them to track levels of methane, halocarbons, and other trace gases. The $1,443,820 grant will fund UCI's sampling and...
This federal contract award, valued at $613,830.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to develop observation-based, process-oriented metrics to test chemistry-climate models (CCMs) on their ability to predict tropospheric ozone (O3) and methane (CH4) budgets. The core data for these metrics will come from NASA's DC8 aircraft in situ measurements from recent campaigns. The goal is to provide guidance in...

UCI, a prominent public...
This federal contract award to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is for the provision of whole air sampling (WAS) from the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the KORUS-AQ field campaign. Under this $649,106.46 grant, UCI will employ its proven technique of combining WAS with laboratory analysis using gas chromatography to provide high-quality measurements of various trace gas species, including nonmethane hydrocarbons, halocarbons, and alkyl nitrates. These measurements will address...
This is a $856,871.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) for a project titled "Whole Air Sampling (WAS) from the NASA DC-8 Aircraft during ASIA-AQ: High-Precision Measurements of ~100 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)". The project involves whole air sampling from the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the ASIA-AQ campaign to conduct high-precision measurements of approximately 100...
This is a $430,735 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to quantify the processes controlling the temporal variability of biosphere-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) flux on seasonal and interannual timescales from 1989 to 2018. The research aims to improve predictions from Earth system models by integrating remote sensing observations, mechanistic models, and NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5)...

This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, provides $933,946.91 to process and archive whole air samples collected from aircraft and balloon flights for measurements of the isotopic compositions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. The research aims to monitor atmospheric composition and transport processes in the...

This federal contract award funds the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to continue its long-standing global atmospheric monitoring program, which has measured concentrations of key trace gases since 1978. The $1,433,026 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will allow UCI to maintain its seasonal air sampling at 40-50 remote Pacific basin sites, analyzing up to 55 compounds including greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting agents, and other key atmospheric constituents. The data collected through this effort has been widely used by the atmospheric science community in major international reports on climate change and ozone depletion. This award continues UCI's collaboration with modelers and other researchers to better understand global trends in methane, ethane, and other tracers. No set-aside designation was indicated for this contract, which runs through June 2022.
