Past Attempts to Understand the Interannual Variability of Large Dust Storms on Mars Have Met With Limited Success. the Goal of the Proposed Work Is to Explore Three Possible Mechanisms for Producing Such Variability and to Assess Their Relative Importance and Contributions. Global Dust Storms (GDS) Have a Huge Impact on Mars's Weather and Climate. Yet the Exact Causes of GDS Initiation What Determines Onset Time and Location and Why They Occur in Only Some Years Remain Unknown. a Better Understanding and Model Representation of GDS Activity Would Result in Better Simulations of Surface Conditions During a GDS Improved Confidence in Paleo-mars Modeling and Potentially the Ability to Forecast GDS.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
