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 $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 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 $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 $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.

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 and vertical extent of these impacts, estimating the ozone radiative forcing due to stratosphere-troposphere exchange, and identifying global hotspots of deep stratosphere-troposphere exchange events and their regional air quality impacts. This research will leverage data from NASA's Aura satellite and other sources to improve understanding of the role of stratosphere-troposphere exchange in tropospheric ozone variability and trends, which is important for predicting future climate impacts. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
