- This $941,193 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to further develop a theory on the invariance of cloud size distribution under varying climate conditions. The research aims to evaluate whether certain cloud properties, such as the relationship between cloud size and number, remain consistent despite changes in atmospheric climate and chemical composition. The work seeks to understand the underlying physical mechanisms...
- This $695,471 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the impacts of relative humidity on organic new particle formation in the atmosphere. The research project aims to: 1) explore the sensitivity of new particle formation to relative humidity for representative atmospheric organic aerosol precursors, and 2) identify the roles of different oxidative pathways in the relative humidity sensitivity of organic...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $377,905 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct collaborative research on understanding the drivers of cloud and precipitation variability. The research team will use large-eddy simulations and cloud observations to identify the microphysical sources of spatial variability in low-level stratocumulus clouds and how this variability influences cloud and precipitation...
- This $798,249 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support laboratory studies at Penn State University to investigate the formation and growth of ice crystals in high-altitude clouds.
