The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $189,884 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) for the "Collaborative Research: Coastal Cloud Chemistry during the Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE-CCC)" project. This project will provide an unprecedented characterization of cloud chemical processing to help reduce uncertainties in climate model predictions. The...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $522,605 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support collaborative research on coastal cloud chemistry during the Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE). Led by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, with the State of California serving as the parent organization, this research aims to enhance understanding of cloud formation processes to...
This $596,100 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research led by the University of California San Diego's (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to understand the large-scale effects of shallow cloud formations on Earth's climate. The research aims to develop a global climate model that can simulate the interactions between small-scale cloud dynamics and large-scale climate processes, addressing three key questions:...
This $941,193 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to further develop a theory on the invariance of cloud size distribution under varying climate conditions. The research aims to evaluate whether certain cloud properties, such as the relationship between cloud size and number, remain consistent despite changes in atmospheric climate and chemical composition. The work seeks to understand the underlying physical mechanisms...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,929 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Office of Research Administration. This 3-year grant, effective June 1, 2024, will support collaborative research into the nonlinear dynamics governing the formation of cloud patterns, with a focus on marine stratocumulus and continental shallow cumulus clouds. The project will utilize a novel...
This $425,395 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into understanding low-cloud feedbacks using large-eddy simulation of spatially developing cloud transitions from February 15, 2022 through January 31, 2027. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research aims to address limitations in modeling low-cloud behavior over large areas by developing a hierarchy of large-eddy simulation model configurations at different scales. Several experiments are...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $399,905 provides funding from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a new poloidal convection model and multi-scale description of moist circulations in tall cumulus clouds. The University of California, Davis will test and further develop the poloidal model framework to incorporate both ascending and descending air motions within convective clouds. This will allow for new understanding of cloud...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $372,870 supports research into aerosol-cloud-turbulence interactions through numerical simulation and experimental chamber studies. Awarded on September 1, 2022 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the three-year award to the University of Notre Dame will use high-resolution numerical modeling and experiments at the PI Chamber facility to examine questions around aerosol hygroscopicity, supersaturation fluctuations, droplet settling...
