The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded Columbia University $823,336 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to advance fundamental research in radiative transfer and atmospheric physics from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. The project will deliver peer-reviewed scientific research findings and theoretical models examining the spectral dimension of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with Earth's atmosphere and surface. Key research outputs will address critical questions in atmospheric physics, including the mechanisms underlying stratospheric cooling due to increased carbon dioxide concentrations, the relationship between temperature and water vapor in mediating cloud effects on atmospheric radiation, and simplified spectral opacity models applicable to complex atmospheric systems. In addition to advancing basic scientific knowledge in radiative transfer, the project will generate educational and workforce development products through support and training provided to a postdoctoral researcher or Ph.D. student. As a component of the NSF's Geosciences program mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth systems, this three-year initiative will contribute to the broader understanding of radiation's influence on weather, climate phenomena, precipitation patterns, and atmospheric circulation across multiple spatial scales.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
