This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431), provides $487,987 to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. to analyze emerging global ocean model simulations in order to improve seasonal to annual (S2A) forecasts of coastal sea level variability. The key objectives are to quantify resolution-related enhancements in the ability to forecast both...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. a $381,779 cooperative agreement from the Weather and Air Quality Research program under the Competitive Grants and Cooperative Agreements for Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459).
Under this two-year award ending July 2023, Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. will enhance the RTE+RRTMGP radiation code to support NOAA's operational weather forecasts. As part of...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431), aims to evaluate and improve the modeling of sub-grid space-time patterns of land surface temperature (LST) within the GFDL land model.
The key objectives are to: 1) leverage satellite remote sensing to assemble a global dataset of observed space-time patterns of LST; 2) implement the calculation of...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $324,656 Cooperative Agreement to Colorado State University under the Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) federal grant program. The purpose of this 3-year award, effective September 1, 2024, is to assess how well Earth System Models (ESMs) simulate the day-to-day variability in offshore propagation of diurnal convection (OPDC) in the tropics, and to identify process-level sources of biases in the models'...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $981,884 cooperative agreement to the University of Oklahoma under the Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459) to develop new and improved severe weather guidance using machine learning and new visualization displays for forecasters. The university will implement new weather products into an interactive web viewer, conduct forecaster evaluations, iteratively improve the web viewer interface, and develop...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $878,098 cooperative agreement to the University of Oklahoma under the Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459) from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025.
The award will support the university's efforts to advance background ensemble covariance at the air-sea interface and contribute to the development of a fully-coupled data assimilation system. Key activities include assimilating atmospheric and oceanic data,...
This $1,050,655 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) will integrate NOAA's science and service assets to provide consistent, reliable, and transparent forward-looking climate information at spatial scales relevant for decision-making. The project, led by the University of Colorado, will leverage resources across NOAA to develop climate projection products and services that...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) provides $1,442,310 to Colorado State University to develop scientific understanding and methodologies to support reliable and authoritative climate projection services. The project, which runs from June 2024 to May 2028, will focus on five key climate impacts: western water resources, heat waves, coastal flood risk, wildfire risk,...
The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $539,246 Cooperative Agreement to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research and development under the Weather and Air Quality Research (CFDA 11.459) program.
The purpose of the award is to develop next-generation atmospheric physics, dynamical core, and/or their interfaces for NOAA's Unified...
This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431), supports scientific research to improve understanding and prediction of high-impact extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold spells, and heavy precipitation. The $189,307 award to Purdue University, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will focus on investigating how large-scale...
