- This is a $120,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is for the University of Colorado to measure the temperature-dependent absorption cross-section of the O2O2 molecule in the 630 nanometer, 315 nanometer, and 328 nanometer spectral bands. This data will be used to...
- The University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, has been awarded a $135,000 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to improve the interpretation of remote sensing data on stratospheric and upper tropospheric aerosols. The research objective is to enhance the stratospheric aerosol simulation capabilities in the Goddard Earth Observing System Version 5 (GEOS-5) model by further developing the Community Aerosol and Radiation...
- This federal contract award, valued at $99,999.99, was granted by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract aims to increase resolution and detection confidence of atmospheric layers, especially aerosols, for the ICESAT-2 Earth observation mission, which is central to NASA's strategic plan. The University of Colorado, as a U.S. state government entity and accredited public research...
- This federal contract award, valued at $450,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The award will fund a research project to investigate the optical properties of brown carbon aerosols emitted from smoldering biomass burning, and how these properties evolve during photochemical aging. The goal is to provide a comprehensive dataset to improve climate models and satellite data retrieval algorithms. The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $79,118.49, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The goal of the contract is to develop a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) method for separating atmospheric and land surface signals in hyperspectral imagery. This work will help NASA instruments better address science goals related to climate change,...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $215,398.68 grant (Contract ID: 80NSSC20K1797) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop and implement an operational algorithm to retrieve cloud optical thickness. This research and development effort, which does not have a set-aside designation, will conclude by September 30, 2023. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and accredited public research institution, has extensive experience conducting...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $134,998.72 federal grant (Contract #80NSSC20K1642) by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to conduct research on the complex relationships between volatile organic compound emissions, primary organic aerosol formation, and secondary organic aerosol formation within smoke plumes. The grant, which does not have a set-aside...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research investigating the processes that couple atmospheric layers in order to improve understanding of daily variability in Earth's upper atmosphere. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, was awarded on September 1, 2019 with a completion...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $136,007.30 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government educational institution, for research on analyzing stratospheric chlorine and bromine over North America. The University of Colorado, which has a history of conducting fundamental research for federal agencies like NASA, DOD, and NOAA, will perform this work from its facilities in Boulder, Colorado. The grant does not...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder, has been awarded a $44,476 grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to conduct research on "AEROSOL MICROPHYSICAL EFFECTS ON CLOUDS IN A WARMING ARCTIC". This three-year fundamental research grant, beginning in March 2024, aims to expand scientific knowledge in the area of climate science and atmospheric physics. The University of Colorado, as a leading public research institution, has previously received numerous federal grants and contracts from...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $134,696.11 training grant contract to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government educational institution. The contract is focused on measuring the optical properties of brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which can contribute to both the cooling and warming effects of atmospheric particles. Using cavity ring down spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and aerosol mass spectrometry, the University will determine the complex refractive indices of various BrC products and explore how factors like humidity, chemical oxidation, and photooxidation impact their optical properties. This research aims to improve the accuracy of climate models in predicting current and future climate conditions by better representing the interactions between aerosols and light. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation.
