Office of Science: Atmospheric System Research (ASR) program

The goal of ASR is to quantify the interactions among aerosols, clouds, precipitation, and radiation to improve understanding of key cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and radiation processes that affect the Earth’s radiative balance and hydrological cycle, especially processes that limit the predictive ability of regional and global models.

Applications must address one of the following research topics:

1. Atmospheric processes from ARM’s Coast-Urban-Rural Atmospheric Gradient Experiment (CoURAGE)
2. High latitude and Southern Ocean atmospheric processes using ARM observations

PI must be from a US- based institution. Foreign co- applicants are allowed.
