The Department of Energy’s Atmospheric System Research Program (ASR) aims to enhance regional and global climate models through research on cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and radiative transfer processes. The program invites research grant applications for observational, data analysis, and modeling studies utilizing data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) or ASR programs. Focus areas include boundary layer and mixed phase clouds, ice nucleation processes, aerosol processes, and utilization of new ARM field campaign data. Applicants can develop integrated datasets or algorithms from ARM observations to address scientific uncertainties in climate properties. Closing date for applications is May 29, 2013.
