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 improve climate model representations. Specifically, the project will conduct advanced chemical measurements of clouds and aerosols at Scripps Pier and nearby Mount Soledad in La Jolla, California to augment the Department of Energy's EPCAPE field campaign taking place from February 2023 through January 2024. By leveraging recent instrumentation developments, the research seeks to characterize cloud chemical processing and its impacts on cloud structure and properties. Insights gained from this work are expected to reduce uncertainties in climate model predictions by providing an unprecedented characterization of cloud chemical transformations under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
