This federal contract award, valued at $806,723.67, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is for research aimed at improving the use of aerosol and trace gas remote sensing data from sources like the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) to better understand atmospheric aerosol properties and emissions. The research will utilize the GEOS-Chem adjoint model to perform multi-species, multi-phase four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation, with the goal of refining monthly anthropogenic emissions estimates and evaluating long-term trends in aerosol sources and their environmental impacts. This research contract is not a set-aside award.
