- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $818,897.00 grant to the Nevada System of Higher Education's (NSHE) Desert Research Institute (DRI) to conduct research on quantifying variations in atmospheric temperature from light-absorbing aerosols. This research will focus on the presence of these aerosols, which can consist of smoke, soot, or wind-blown particles, across the tropics, subtropics, East Asia, and boreal high latitudes. The grant has an ultimate...
- This federal contract award, valued at $299,038.06, was made by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), specifically its Desert Research Institute (DRI) division. The contract is for research to examine the "IMPACTS OF ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR ON RADIATIVE AND DYNAMIC AEROSOL.EFFECTS IN STRATOCUMULUS REGIMES." This grant-funded research project has a period of performance ending on June 21,...
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a delivery order valued at $599,940.61 to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), operating under the Nevada System of Higher Education, for research, development, and application of cloud-based processing and visualization of climate and drought information. This firm fixed-price delivery order represents the exercise of Option 1 under an existing contract vehicle and extends performance through September 30, 2026. The work will be...
- This is a $499,357.02 grant awarded by NASA to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to conduct research on the optical properties of atmospheric carbonaceous aerosols, especially in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region. The research aims to improve the identification and quantification of carbonaceous aerosols and their radiative and climate-forcing properties using satellite and ground-based remote sensors. The contract is focused on characterizing the...
- This federal contract award is for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to engage the Desert Research Institute (DRI), which is the environmental research division of the Nevada System of Higher Education, to provide regional climate center services for the western United States. The $3,026,813.72 delivery order contract is for climate monitoring, data analysis, decision support tool development, and outreach, supporting the National Centers for Environmental Information....
- This is a $756,429 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to conduct research on the impacts of black carbon aerosols on atmospheric temperature and cloud cover. The research aims to better understand the "semi-direct effect" of absorbing aerosols on cloud processes across different global regions. The study will leverage satellite data from instruments like CALIPSO,...
