The project will leverage the existing WRFX...
This federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) supports research to improve the understanding of biomass burning and its impacts on air quality and climate in the southeastern United States. The $359,105.77 grant will develop an enhanced inventory of biomass burning emissions in the region, using ground-based observations to improve upon satellite-based estimates. The improved emissions data will then be incorporated into a 3D atmospheric chemical transport model to better quantify the health and visibility impacts of biomass burning, as well as its climate forcing effects. This work aligns with NASA's Atmospheric Composition and Modeling and Analysis Program (ACMAP) goals of leveraging satellite data to advance models of atmospheric chemistry. The grant does not utilize any set-aside designation.
