DOE announces plans to provide $12 million in new research grants for ASR, Earth and Environmental Systems Modeling, and Environmental System Science program science.

Peter Jan van Leeuwen, a data assimilation authority and professor at Colorado State University, leverages ASR funding in a search for the little-known causal pathways that link aerosols to cloud growth.

At a recent DOE workshop, experts discussed the feasibility and scientific priorities of observing marine aerosols and clouds from commercial ships.

Scientific investigations, data analysis, and model improvements unfold a year after the end of a Colorado field campaign on mountain hydrology.
