- This is a $169,822 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to characterize the transport and impact of African dust in the Caribbean basin. The university will integrate ground observations, satellite measurements, and NASA GEOS-5 model simulations to gain a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, which can affect human health, coral reefs, ocean biogeochemistry, weather, and climate. There is no set-aside...
- This is a $637,764 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to conduct an interdisciplinary research study on the relationship between atmospheric aerosol deposition and oceanic phytoplankton growth. The goal is to better understand how airborne nutrients like mineral dust and volcanic ash impact the carbon cycle and ocean ecosystems. Through analysis of remote sensing data, the researchers aim to characterize...
- This $608,878 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on surface ozone formation and atmospheric composition in the Mid-Atlantic region. The research will leverage observations from prior aircraft field missions, including the NASA-sponsored DISCOVER-AQ, OWLETS, and LISTOS campaigns, to characterize the vertical distribution and diurnal variations of ozone precursors. This analysis,...
- This is a $123,328 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is for a research project titled "Exploring A-Train Observations of Land-Ocean Contrast in Convective Cloud Characteristics and Their Ambient Environment Toward Improving GCM Cumulus Parameterizations." The project involves using data from NASA's A-Train satellite constellation to study the differences in convective cloud behavior...
- This is a $430,148.26 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on the factors controlling marine aerosol emissions and their impact on Arctic cloud properties. The work will leverage models like the Flexible Particle Dispersion Model (FLEXPART) and the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis, as well as remote sensing data, to better...
- This is a grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to conduct research on dust aerosols and their impacts on the Earth's radiative energy budget. The contract, valued at $134,993.64, supports an investigation into the frequent occurrence of above-cloud dust in the Northeast Atlantic region as observed by spaceborne lidar. UMBC, as a public research university within the...
- This federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park funds research into the radiative effects of aerosols on deep convective clouds and their impact on the Earth's radiation budget. The $450,590.51 award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will support a 4-year study to: 1) derive a global climatology of aerosol-mediated cloud radiative forcing for deep convective clouds, 2) estimate changes in upper troposphere/lower stratosphere water vapor from...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The $599,923.77 grant funds a project 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 combining remote sensing observations, mechanistic models, and NASA's Goddard...
- The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $278,515 grant by a civilian federal agency to characterize seasonal and diurnal cloud and aerosol variability using improved ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2) atmospheric products. The research effort, which commenced on April 21, 2023, is scheduled for completion by April 20, 2026 and will be conducted at the University of Maryland's College Park campus. This award represents a non-set-aside research grant...
- This federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to support a research program focused on advancing data analysis techniques and incorporating new observations related to atmospheric O2, H2O vapor, and aerosols. The $232,130.01 grant does not have a set-aside designation. UMD, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, is the prime awardee. The grant will fund this scientific research through...
