Atmospheric System Research Program
DOE
ASR supports research on key cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and radiative transfer processes that affect the Earth’s radiative balance and hydrological cycle, especially processes that limit the predictive ability of regional and global models. This FOA solicits research grant applications for observational, data analysis, and/or modeling studies that use observations supported by BER, including the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility, to improve understanding and model representation of: aerosol-cloud interactions, aerosol processes affecting cloud lifecycle, properties, and/or processes, convective cloud processes, and high-latitude atmospheric processes.
