This $250,771 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on the interaction between Antarctic low clouds and natural aerosols. The research aims to improve global climate model simulations over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean by better representing low-level cloud physics, which have significant impacts on ice surface melt and solar energy transmission. The 4-year project will...
This $425,395 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into understanding low-cloud feedbacks using large-eddy simulation of spatially developing cloud transitions from February 15, 2022 through January 31, 2027. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research aims to address limitations in modeling low-cloud behavior over large areas by developing a hierarchy of large-eddy simulation model configurations at different scales. Several experiments are...
Colorado State University was awarded a $795,202 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The award is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the three-year award beginning September 1, 2021, Colorado State University will research the influence of climate change on temperature persistence. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is providing $941,193 to the University of Utah to conduct research on cloud properties and their response to varying atmospheric and climate conditions. The key objectives are to further develop a theoretical model for predicting cloud size distributions, test the model's ability to account for cloud properties that are invariant to climate change, and derive minimal models to accurately predict...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $439,953 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will fund research from May 2021 to April 2026 to study the physical transformations of aerosols after transport between indoor and outdoor environments. The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Boulder, will deliver research examining how aerosols change as they move...
This three-year, $511,918 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research to develop a new framework for advancing climate model representations of cloud and convective processes. The grantee, Columbia University, will conduct fully-coupled, isotope-enabled climate simulations for the Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, and Pre-Industrial periods using an ensemble of cloud and convective parameter sets. Paleoclimate data assimilation will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems Project Grant award (CFDA 47.070) for $207,394 supports collaborative research between Washington University and researchers from MIT to improve the performance of the GEOS-Chem 3D atmospheric simulation software. The goal is to speed up the complex GEOS-Chem model, which simulates the evolution of the Earth's atmospheric chemical composition and is an essential tool for understanding climate change. The...
