This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $488,466 to fund research examining how atmospheric synoptic Kelvin waves influence the propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will receive the funding and conduct the research from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024.
The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric sciences, as outlined in the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). By exploring atmospheric dynamics like synoptic Kelvin waves and the MJO phenomenon, the funded work seeks to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric processes and their interactions as envisioned by the Geosciences program.
