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 and deposition, and drizzle formation. The modeling component employs a Lagrangian framework well-suited for intricate droplet growth dynamics coupled with turbulent flow. Complementary chamber experiments will create controlled cloud environments with varying aerosol types and sizes. Insights gained are intended to ultimately improve weather and climate predictions by advancing understanding of cloud microphysics across scales from sub-micron aerosols to cloud structures visible from space.
