This federal Project Grant award of $399,934 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a low-temperature spectroscopy facility at Bates College. The project, titled "EMBRACE-AGS-GROWTH: Advancing Temperature-Dependent Absorption Models to Support Next-Generation Remote Sensing", aims to improve the accuracy of spectroscopic models used in atmospheric remote sensing instruments.
The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Establishing a unique collaboration between Bates College and the University of Colorado to conduct broadband, high-accuracy reference spectroscopy over a wide range of temperatures; 2) Generating new data on advanced line shape parameters and their temperature dependence for methane transitions to address biases between atmospheric monitoring instruments; and 3) Providing technical training opportunities for Bates students on state-of-the-art laboratory and field measurement resources. The award period runs from March 15, 2025 to February 28, 2029.
