This is a $169,213.25 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to address uncertainties in aerosol-cloud interactions and their impact on climate models. The project aims to develop two novel global Level-2 products from satellite sensor data that will quantify the radiative effects of absorbing aerosols above clouds and provide aerosol-corrected cloud optical depth...
This is a $218,991.39 grant awarded to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project that will use long-lived trace gas records to address questions about ozone trend attribution, stratospheric circulation change, and the sensitivity of ozone projections to simulated dynamical variability. The research aims to quantify the effect of declining ozone-depleting substances...
This is a grant award to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project titled "Quantifying the Effects of Stratosphere - Troposphere Exchange on Tropospheric Ozone Interannual Variability and Trends". The $331,933.54 grant will fund a study to analyze the impacts of stratosphere-troposphere exchange on tropospheric ozone, including quantifying the spatial distribution...
This is a $401,946.08 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to study the effects of climate variables on global vegetation. The objective is to use symbolic regression techniques to uncover new relationships between climate factors and vegetation anomalies, including the impact of extreme events and human-induced disturbances. The project aims to improve the understanding of ecosystem dynamics...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $288,522.37 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to validate satellite observations of atmospheric trace species such as aerosols, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and water vapor against other measurement platforms. The effort will use a chemistry model to reconcile sunrise and sunset observations from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument on the International Space Station. This...
This is a $17,400.79 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for USRA to contribute to NASA's Earth Information System for Greenhouse Gas (EIS-GHG) program. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. USRA is a well-established nonprofit that frequently partners with universities, companies, and government agencies to advance space science and exploration. The...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AM42G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The $280,474.22 grant is for a research project that aims to combine ground-truth meteorological data with subsurface thermodynamic modeling to further the understanding of the lower Martian atmosphere. The objectives include constraining active water vapor sinks over the Curiosity...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1183, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to conduct research on tropospheric ozone (O3) formation and its impacts on air quality. The $21,869.88 grant-funded contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run through September 30, 2023. USRA, a nonprofit research organization, has extensive experience supporting NASA's science missions and programs....
This is a $260,284.14 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to research methods for deriving global hydroxyl radical (OH) abundance using atmospheric observations. The work aims to find a substitute for the traditional methylchloroform (MCF) reference gas, as MCF levels have declined due to regulation under the Montreal Protocol. The research will involve an integrated analysis using data from...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $410,512.94 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to conduct research on improving the simulation of Antarctic sea ice changes in the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5). The proposed work involves using coupled replay simulations and observations to quantify the impact of atmospheric and oceanic processes on Antarctic sea ice variability and trends. The research aims to address...
