About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $177,138.16 grant to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science to study the relationship between precipitation and environmental factors that influence tropical cyclone formation. The research aims to quantify the evolution of precipitation patterns in developing and non-developing disturbances across different ocean basins, and analyze the impact of precipitation on inner core thermodynamics. This grant-funded research project does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded directly to the University of Miami as the prime contractor, without any major subcontractors identified. As a leading research university with expertise in oceanic, atmospheric, and climate studies, the University of Miami has a history of providing analytical services, satellite imagery, and research to federal agencies including NASA, NOAA, and USGS under both contract and grant vehicles.
Description
The overall goal of the proposed work is to use PMW data to fill an observational GAP in tropical cyclogenesis research and, specifically, use those observations to quantify relationships between precipitation and environmental forcing throughout the pre-genesis stage. Unique aspects of this research include quantifying the temporal evolution of the precipitation organization of developing disturbances, identifying the sensitivity of precipitation organization to the environmental properties in which they are embedded, comparing that organization to those in nondeveloping disturbances, and quantifying the feedback of precipitation on inner core thermodynamic properties (such as humidification, moistening, and warming). For the first time, this project also compares precipitation involved in the pre-formation stage and in nondeveloping disturbances globally, with a goal of identifying whether there are unique characteristics (or pathways) to genesis in one basin compared to another.
