This $185,260 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The grant will fund the development and application of an advanced aerosol retrieval algorithm to improve the accuracy of retrieving aerosol and ocean properties over the Gulf of Mexico using data from the Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter #2 (HARP2) instrument. The project aims to expand the capability of the PACE-MAPP (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem - Microphysical Aerosol Properties from Polarimetry) algorithm to better exploit the spectral range of NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite data. This research infrastructure improvement project will be conducted in collaboration between the Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO), a minority-serving institution, and researchers at NASA's Langley Research Center. The expertise gained through this fellowship will enable the principal investigator to train and educate SUNO students in advanced remote sensing data analysis and machine learning-based retrieval algorithms.
