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 National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
This $167,227 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to advance the understanding and prediction of low-probability tropical cyclone formation. The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) will lead the 3-year project, which aims to use conventional and AI techniques, ensemble forecasts, and state-of-the-art modeling to investigate the multiscale processes and predictability of weak...
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 $215,146 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with warming. The research aims to quantify this relationship in historical data, climate model simulations, and simplified model experiments to better understand the fundamental mechanisms behind tropical cyclone size expansion under climate change. The outcomes will help improve forecasts of tropical cyclone...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $258,774 Project Grant to Indiana University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support the collaborative research project "Reconstructing Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Throughout the Southeastern United States" or P2C2. As described under the Geosciences program, the funding will strengthen fundamental...
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, $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.
