Program overview
The Atmosphere Cluster (AC)in the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS)supportsfundamental studies of atmospheric processes from the Earth's surface to thestratosphere, and from timescales of nanoseconds to millennia. Core areas of research include the chemical, physical, and dynamical processes in the atmosphere thatimpactclouds, weather, climate, air quality, and the water cycle.Research methods include modeling, collecting observations, conducting experiments in the laboratory and field, and advancing analytical measurement techniques. General research topics that are supported by the AC include, andare not limited to: Chemical processes and mechanisms that explain how atmospheric gases and aerosols form, react,transformand interact with the surrounding environment. Processesand dynamics that governclimateand hydroclimate,includingtheir mean state, variability, response to external forcingandtheir role inthe establishment ofaglobal energy and water balance; coupled atmosphere-ocean interactions, land-atmosphere interactions and interactionsamongclouds, atmosphericcirculationand climate. Observational and modeling studies of past climate and its drivers and studies that developand synthesizepaleoclimate proxies and records. Physics and dynamics of atmospheric motions on all scales,from the planetary to the microscale, including the general circulation of the troposphere and stratosphere, planetary waves, synoptic and mesoscale systems, convection, gravity waves,turbulenceand planetary boundary layer dynamics. Physical meteorology including aerosol, cloud, and precipitation physics and atmospheric electricity. Synoptic and mesoscale meteorology includingthe processes,predictabilityand future changes insevere and hazardous weather. Proposals to theACare welcome at any time. However, the following solicitation in support of specific atmospheric science and community efforts has a target date or deadline. Please refer tothe solicitation documents for further details: The Facility and Instrumentation Request Process (FIRP) solicitation describes therequirements for the submission of proposals that will make use of AGS-supported facilities and instrumentation managed by the Facilities for Atmospheric Reseach and Education (FARE) program. AGS encouragesand inspiresscientific leadersbyinvesting inthe atmospheric and geospace sciences, enhancing educational opportunities and experiencesand supporting faculty and researchersat all career stages.The Division expects that proposers will integrate education,outreachand dissemination activities into their research plans in compliance with NSF Broader ImpactsMerit Reviewcriteria.     AGS invites proposals that include plans for workforce development, educational and outreach activities, open science initiatives,and efforts to broaden participation and encourage diverse talent in the atmosphere andgeospacesciences. Furthermore, AGS encourages proposals from all institutions, including Minority Serving Institutions, Emerging ResearchInstitutionsand institutions inEstablished Programto Stimulate Competitive Research(EPSCoR)jurisdictions. The Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide ( PAPPG )providesthe instructions forsubmittingproposals toAGS.Additionally, Chapter II.F of the PAPPG defines "Other Types of Proposals," including community-building proposals such as Conference, Travel or Planning Proposals and special categories of proposals, such as Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER).Proposals that are not compliant with the PAPPG will be returned without review. The following sections highlight specific NSF-, GEO-or AGS-wide solicitations that may be relevant to the AGS Community. Please be aware that solicitations arefrequentlyupdat
