The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science awarded a $937,131 Project Grant under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to Stony Brook University. The grant is titled "INVESTIGATING MICROPHYSICAL AND DYNAMICAL PROCESSES CONTROLLING CONVECTIVE CLOUD CHARACTERISTICS AND LIFECYCLE WITHIN DIFFERENT AEROSOL AND AMBIENT ENVIRONMENTS" and runs from September 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026.
The grant supports fundamental scientific research to expand understanding of complex atmospheric processes related to convective cloud formation and evolution under varying environmental conditions. Stony Brook University will conduct laboratory and field studies to investigate the microphysical and dynamical factors driving cloud characteristics and lifecycle. This research aims to advance climate science and weather forecasting capabilities. The award also includes a $75,022 sub-grant to Colorado State University to support complementary research on this topic.
