- 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 $80,245.19 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to support research on monitoring atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels from space-based observations. The primary objective is to improve understanding of the processes controlling atmospheric CO2, including the anthropogenic emissions that drive long-term CO2 growth. The research will leverage data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory...
- This is a $231,572 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to quantify and constrain the stratospheric water vapor and ozone responses and feedbacks to global warming using NASA's Goddard Earth System Model and satellite observations. The research aims to improve the understanding of the stratospheric chemical feedback and its impact on global warming. USRA, a nonprofit research organization, will conduct...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The $843,170.89 grant funds a research project to study atmospheric organic trace gas composition from different regions, with the goal of improving the understanding and predictive capability for changes in the ozone layer, climate forcing, and air quality. Key objectives include measuring short-lived halogen species, using trace...
- This is a $96,610 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to conduct research on the observable benefits of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments within the stratosphere. The research will involve detailed analyses of over 15 years of high-quality data from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instrument, focusing on stratospheric ozone and chlorine species. This effort aims to track and...
- This is a $578,006.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for research to determine the global impact of reactive halogens on tropospheric ozone levels and oxidant cycles in the remote atmosphere, using NASA's ATOM dataset and an updated CAM-CHEM atmospheric chemistry model. The research aims to better understand the...
- This is a $368,388.65 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct a three-year research project on calibrating and inter-comparing data from two satellite instruments that measure trace gas species like formaldehyde. The project aims to improve the consistency and long-term trends in these satellite products by reconciling differences between the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and Global Ozone...
- This is a $745,825.75 grant awarded by NASA to Columbia University to conduct research on variability and trends in tropospheric oxidation and its interactions with regional air quality, global atmospheric composition, and climate. The research aims to advance the understanding of oxidation chemistry in the global troposphere, identify trends and variability in oxidation regimes induced by changes in pollutant emissions and climate variability, and construct a seasonal climatology of hydroxyl...
- 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 federal grant award, valued at $584,609.20, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the parent organization of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant funds research to better characterize and quantify heterogeneous halogen chemistry outside polar regions, using satellite data and the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM2). The research aims to understand the potential...
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 ground-based networks, aircraft missions, and the ACE-FTS satellite, along with NASA's GEOS-5 chemistry climate model. The grant supports NASA's science mission to better understand atmospheric chemistry and its implications for air quality, climate, and ozone layer recovery. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract and is part of USRA's ongoing research portfolio supporting federal agencies like NASA.
