This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $932,280 to Carnegie Mellon University to conduct research on how emissions from marine plankton communities lead to atmospheric particle nucleation. The key objectives are to: 1) verify a nucleation potential model for complex mixtures, 2) measure nucleation reactions and emission profiles of tank-grown phytoplankton, 3) predict seasonal and spatial variation in emissions and nucleation...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is providing $941,193 to the University of Utah to conduct research on cloud properties and their response to varying atmospheric and climate conditions. The key objectives are to further develop a theoretical model for predicting cloud size distributions, test the model's ability to account for cloud properties that are invariant to climate change, and derive minimal models to accurately predict...
