Not listed TITLE: CONTINUATION OF SCIENCE TEAM LEADERSHIP FOR THE INTEGRATED GLOBAL GREENHOUSE GAS INFORMATION SYSTEM (IG3IS) & BACKSCATTER AEROSOL LIDAR MEASUREMENTS SUPPORTING FLUX INVERSION ERROR REDUCTION FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED.PURPOSE:THIS AWARD CONTINUES SUPPORT FOR 1) THE PIS LEADERSHIP OF THE IG3IS SCIENCE TEAM AND ITS APPLIED RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, AND 2) SUPPORT TO INITIATE A NEW MEASUREMENTS AND APPLIED RESEARCH ACTIVITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED. WITH REGARD TO IG3IS LEADERSHIP THERE ARE TWO PRINCIPAL AREAS ACTIVITY: 1. FURTHER DEVELOP, REFINE, COMMUNICATE, AND PROMOTE THE IG3IS SCIENCE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND LEAD THE IG3IS INVERSE MODELING CROSSCUT ACTIVITY AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE IG3IS PLAN TOWARD BECOMING A SOURCE OF GOOD PRACTICE STANDARDS FOR ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT-BASED GHG EMISSION ESTIMATES, AND 2. INITIATE, PLAN, IMPLEMENT AND MANAGE NEW PROJECTS UNDER THE IG3IS OBJECTIVE AREAS WITH A FOCUS ON GHG MITIGATION EFFORTS OF CITIES. THESE SERVICES WILL BE CONDUCTED IN CLOSE CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION WITH THE SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (NIST) GREENHOUSE GAS MEASUREMENT PROGRAM, AND ITS U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS. WITH REGARD TO AEROSOL LIDAR MEASUREMENTS, THE FOLLOWING IS THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY OF THIS AWARD IS TO SUPPORT ESTABLISHING NEW MOBILE AND FIXED BACKSCATTER AEROSOL LIDAR MEASUREMENTS OF THE PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER (PBL)HEIGHT AND DYNAMICS FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED. THESE MEASUREMENTS AND ANALYSES CAPABILITIES WILL BE MADE AND IMPLEMENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NISTS NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED INVERSE MODELING TEAM.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: 1. COMPLETE REVIEW OF THE IG3IS BEST PRACTICES DOCUMENT.2. SUPPORT NIST PROGRAM MANAGEMENT WITH IG3IS INFORMATION USED IN NIST GHG MEASUREMENTS PROGRAM PLANNING.3. WITH NIST COLLABORATORS AND STAFF COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND MAKE OPERATIONAL NISTS MINI MICROPULSE LIDAR SYSTEM AT THE DESIGNATED LOCATION ON THE NIST CAMPUS.4. WORK WITH NIST COLLABORATORS IN DEVELOPING DATA FROM THE LIDAR FOR USE IN WEATHER AND RELATED MODELING EFFORTS.EXPECTED OUTCOMES:NIST GHG MEASUREMENTS PROGRAM WILL HAVE:1. ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER DATA ON A 24/7 BASIS TAKEN AT THE NIST CAMPUS USEFUL FOR EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF WEATHER MODELS FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITOL REGION.2. PLANNING INFORMATION PERTINENT TO NISTS INTERNATIONAL GHG MEASUREMENTS ACTIVITIES.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: ADVANCING GREENHOUSE GAS MEASUREMENT TOOLS SUPPORTING US MITIGATION EFFORTS WILL BENEFIT THE PUBLIC. ADDITIONAL ATMOSPHERIC DATA WILL BENEFIT NISTSUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT INTEND TO SUBAWARD FUNDS. $87.5k 3/24/22 Not listed CONTINUATION OF SCIENCE TEAM LEADERSHIP FOR THE IG3IS & BACKSCATTER AEROSOL LIDAR MEASUREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF FLUX INVERSION ERROR REDUCTION FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED $50.0k 6/3/21 Not listed CONTINUATION OF SCIENCE TEAM LEADERSHIP FOR THE IG3IS & BACKSCATTER AEROSOL LIDAR MEASUREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF FLUX INVERSION ERROR REDUCTION FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED $167.0k 11/6/20 Not listed CONTINUATION OF SCIENCE TEAM LEADERSHIP FOR THE IG3IS & BACKSCATTER AEROSOL LIDAR MEASUREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF FLUX INVERSION ERROR REDUCTION FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR URBAN TEST BED $97.0k 9/9/19
