This program seeks to strengthen polar research and understanding through basic science best...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $401,241 will fund research at the University of Washington from May 2022 through April 2025 to advance understanding of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and cyclones. The grant was awarded under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), which supports basic research in polar regions. Specifically, the researchers will investigate coupling between tropospheric polar vortices, Arctic cyclones, and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $551,480 to the University of Oklahoma from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The grant supports research services focusing on advancing knowledge of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and Arctic cyclones. Specifically, the university will investigate the coupling of these atmospheric phenomena with underlying sea...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,215 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INTEGRATING ANTARCTIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL PREDICTABILITY TO OBTAIN OPTIMAL FORECASTS." The period of performance for this award is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. Under this award, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, operating through its National...
This $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
This $136,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic. The research aims to identify and quantify interdecadal (20-30 years) and multidecadal (50-90 years) patterns of climate variability in the region by integrating data from various sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate proxy data from natural...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $361,527 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct collaborative research on interactions between Arctic cyclones, atmospheric rivers, and sea ice in a warming climate. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through basic research best or only conducted in the Arctic and Antarctic. The University of Wisconsin System,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $392,618 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: COMBINED IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS AND FOEHN WARMING ON THE SURFACE WARMING/MELTING OVER WEST ANTARCTICA", will fund research to investigate the impacts of atmospheric rivers on ice mass balance and surface melting in West Antarctica from August...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $194,921 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) to conduct research on climate variability in the Atlantic Arctic region. The research aims to quantify natural patterns of regional climate variability, including interdecadal (20-30 years) and multidecadal (50-90 years) cycles, by integrating data from various sources such as meteorological measurements,...
