Grant Description

The Atmospheric System Research Program (ASR) in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), supports research on key cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and radiative transfer processes that has the potential to improve the accuracy of regional and global climate models. The ASR program hereby announces its interest in research grant applications for observational, data analysis, and/or modeling studies that use data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) or ASR programs to address current scientific uncertainties in the properties of boundary layer and mixed phase clouds, ice nucleation processes, and aerosol processes; that make use of new ARM field campaign data to address ASR science goals; or that develop new integrated datasets or new algorithms from ARM observations that can be used to address ASR scienc e questions.
