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) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $353,715 will fund a collaborative research project to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface, as driven by waves and wind. The project will utilize a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and advanced numerical simulations (large-eddy simulations) to test the hypothesis that coupling between waves and wind-driven currents is necessary to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award, with a total funding of $438,734, supports a collaborative research effort to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface caused by waves and wind. The research will be conducted through a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and state-of-the-art numerical simulations, with the goal of improving the representation of the ocean surface boundary layer in Earth-system models....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $356,844 to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) focuses on studying atmospheric particle nucleation and growth in the free troposphere. The key research objectives are to (1) investigate the interactions between oxidized organic compounds and inorganic acids leading to new-particle formation in the cold upper troposphere, and (2) understand the mechanisms governing the low-temperature growth of particles...
This $255,344 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Notre Dame aimed at advancing understanding of interactions between urban systems and storms and heatwaves. Specifically, the grant supports analysis of how intra-urban land surface properties and characteristics, urban aerosols, and changing urban landscapes impact extreme weather events in cities like Chicago, New York, and Denver. The University will utilize numerical modeling, new measurement...
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 three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $195,299 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for research characterizing the cloud formation properties of secondary organic aerosol formed from aqueous multiphase chemical processes. The research will be conducted from October 2021 through September 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research into the integrated Earth system...
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...
