Title:
Aerosols, clouds and aerosol-cloud interaction (ACI) over the Arctic : analysis using aerosol and ACI modelling in support of ground- and satellite- based measurements
Agreement Number:
21SUASACOA
Agreement Value:
$248,325.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 22, 2021 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
The goal of the proposed research is to employ state-of-the-art aerosol and aerosol-cloud-interaction (ACI) models in the context of a continuing program of ground- and satellite-based remote sensing and microphysical analysis to help characterize and better understand aerosol and ACI dynamics over the Arctic. The measurement-based approach of this proposal consists of carrying on previous analyses of aerosol and cloud dynamics at the event and seasonal level. The modelling component, by the same token, incorporates a moderate-spatial-resolution model for analysis of long term aerosol statistics a and a high-spatial-resolution, meteorologically-coupled aerosol model for the detailed evaluation of aerosol and ACI events.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
