The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $437,238 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to support research into the mechanisms and variability of tropical cyclone formation under upper-tropospheric influence from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The award is being administered under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,146 to Purdue University to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with climate warming. The project systematically examines this phenomenon across three areas: historical data, climate model simulations, and limited-area model experiments. The goal is to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards, such as wind, storm surge, flooding,...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program has awarded a $332,982 Project Grant to the University of Illinois. The grant, awarded on November 15, 2023, will fund collaborative research to understand the links between tropical cyclones and tropical circulation under climate change. The research will leverage two idealized configurations of the Community Earth System Model to isolate the mechanisms by which changes in atmospheric overturning cells, such as the Hadley and Walker Cells,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
This three-year, $533,747 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into how the intensity and impacts of tropical cyclones may change in response to climate warming after landfall. Specifically, the grantee will conduct idealized and real-data case studies in pseudo-global warming scenarios to assess potential shifts in tropical cyclone activity and landfall location, changes in precipitation patterns and the extent of...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports a study investigating the impact of flooding intensity on levee development and dynamics. The Geosciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This award will further those goals by exploring...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $167,227, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on advancing the understanding and prediction of tropical cyclone formation. The key research objectives include: Investigating the multiscale processes and predictability of low-probability tropical cyclogenesis events, particularly in the western Atlantic and Caribbean regions. This involves using conventional and AI-based modeling...
This three-year, $830,233 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the impact of greenhouse gas-induced global warming on tropical cyclones in the Pacific region. The Columbia University research team, in collaboration with sub-awardee The Trustees of Columbia University, will utilize flux adjustment techniques and high-resolution atmospheric modeling to simulate the response of key ocean temperature patterns to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. in the amount of $374,070 aims to better understand how different types of precipitation in tropical cyclones impact their maximum sustained wind speeds. The 4-year project will use airborne Doppler radar data and numerical weather prediction models to examine how precipitation modes, such as convection and stratiform rain, perturb the kinematic...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $126,436 will fund research at Princeton University from September 2022 to August 2024 to assess climate and stochastic forcing of North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity over the past millennium. The researchers will generate tropical cyclone datasets from multiple model simulations of the last 1,000 years and investigate relationships between past modeled tropical cyclone responses and climatic...
