The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $846,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to support continued investigations of the structure, evolution, and life cycles of intraseasonal fluctuations of the North Pacific jet stream. Under the award, University of Wisconsin researchers will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, as outlined in the objectives of the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the university will further analyze the North Pacific jet stream's intraseasonal fluctuations through atmospheric, earth, and ocean science research. This research aims to enhance fundamental knowledge of the dynamics and predictability of these fluctuations, which have impacts on weather and climate patterns across the northern hemisphere. The $846,897 in funding will support the three-year research project ending on July 31, 2024. Research results will provide insights to strengthen scientific understanding of key components within the integrated Earth system.
