This $389,417 National Science Foundation project grant supports atmospheric particle formation research at Augsburg University from December 2022 through November 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The university will conduct laboratory experiments to enhance understanding of new particle formation processes in the atmosphere, focusing on sulfuric acid/water and ammonia systems as well as oxidation products from organic compounds. Experiments using two flow reactors will...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $291,231 supports collaborative research on coastal cloud chemistry during the Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment campaign. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will leverage recent instrumentation developments to augment the Department of Energy's campaign conducted in La Jolla, California from February 2023 to January 2024. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will utilize...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $532,712, supports collaborative research to investigate the physical processes underlying transitions in marine stratocumulus cloud cover over the eastern North Atlantic region. The research aims to develop a causal framework to better understand the complex interactions that drive changes in cloud structure, from continuous stratocumulus layers to more broken...
This $847,643 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) supports research on new particle formation, subsequent particle growth, and their contribution to cloud condensation nuclei population in the Southeast U.S. The research will be conducted by The Washington University, a private research institution located in University City, Missouri. The project aims to advance scientific understanding and enable...
This Project Grant award of $377,905 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the drivers of cloud and precipitation variability in low-level stratocumulus clouds. The research team at Columbia University will run large-eddy simulations using a Lagrangian particle-based microphysics model to identify the sources of microphysical variability, such as condensation, stochastic collisions, and giant aerosol particles, and how this...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support fundamental research on atmospheric particle nucleation and growth under conditions found in the free troposphere. The $356,844 award to Carnegie Mellon University will investigate the interactions between oxidized organic compounds and inorganic acids leading to new-particle formation in the cold upper troposphere, as well as the low-temperature growth of particles through the...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $499,732 will fund research to constrain the mechanistic effects of spatial resolution on global air quality modeling. The investigators at the Washington University will perform a series of chemical transport model simulations from March 2023 to February 2026 to study errors that arise in model simulations due to coarse horizontal resolution. The research goals are to quantify and interpret the resolution dependence of non-linear...
This three-year, $454,659 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continued membership of three universities in the Cloud Consortium at CERN. The Consortium will study the chemistry and physics that drive new particle formation and growth in Earth's atmosphere using a 26 cubic meter stainless steel chamber. Over the grant period, research will focus on chemical mechanisms generating extremely low volatility organic compounds that can...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $440,764 Project Grant to Washington State University to study the influences of large turbulent eddies on the validity of the constant flux layer assumption in the unstable atmospheric surface layer. The 3-year project will leverage a field experiment over a large water body in Mississippi to collect a unique dataset that minimizes the influence of advective terms, enabling a more precise examination...
