This is a $1,607,640 Cooperative Agreement awarded by NASA to the non-profit Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) to collect and analyze data from low-cost air quality sensors deployed by citizen scientists in three regions (Raleigh, Los Angeles, and Delhi) to improve the ability to estimate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations from satellite aerosol measurements. The goal is to enhance the value of NASA's Earth science data products for monitoring air quality near the...

This federal contract award is for a NASA Earth Venture Suborbital campaign called Observations of Aerosols above Clouds and their Interactions (ORACLES) to study smoke-cloud interactions over the Southeast Atlantic. The $135,000 training grant was awarded to the University of Washington to address five key research questions related to the extent and impacts of biomass burning aerosol mixing into the marine boundary layer and stratocumulus cloud deck in the region. The project will leverage...

This is a $185,502.15 cooperative agreement award to the Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project to leverage citizen science and low-cost air quality sensors to improve NASA's satellite-derived fine particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring capabilities. The project aims to collect spatially dense, high-quality PM2.5 data from citizen scientists in three regions representing low, moderate, and high PM2.5 levels. This...
