This is a $513,226.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW). The grant is for research to develop process-oriented diagnostics to analyze the representation of moisture-convection coupling and cloud-radiation feedback processes in global climate models (GCMs). This research aims to improve the understanding of tropical convection and its interaction with environmental moisture and radiation, which is a critical prerequisite for GCMs to accurately simulate water and energy cycles in the climate system. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UW, as a leading research university, has extensive experience in climate modeling, process-oriented diagnostics, and multi-model evaluation, which is leveraged to accelerate GCM development and reduce uncertainty in climate predictions.
