Description
The Atmosphere Cluster in NSF’s Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports fundamental studies from Earth’s surface to the stratosphere and across timescales from nanoseconds to millennia. It funds research on atmospheric chemistry, climate and hydroclimate, paleoclimate, atmospheric motions, aerosol and cloud physics, precipitation, and severe weather. Methods include modeling, observations, laboratory and field experiments, and advances in analytical measurement techniques.
The division supports researchers at all career stages and expects research plans to integrate education, outreach, and dissemination under NSF’s Broader Impacts merit review criterion. It also invites plans for workforce development, open science, and broader participation in atmospheric and geospace sciences.
