- This Project Grant award of $538,591 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the relationship between tropical sea surface temperatures and the temperature of the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), which acts as a gateway for water vapor and ozone entering the stratosphere. The research involves conducting idealized modeling experiments using different climate models to reconcile two competing theories for how tropical sea surface...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award to Colorado State University (CSU) is for $254,826 over 3 years, starting on July 1, 2023. The award is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The project focuses on examining the relationship between the trade wind inversion layer and the seasonal development of...
- This $196,453 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the downward progression of temperature anomalies during sudden stratospheric warmings. Specifically, the University of Colorado Boulder will analyze characteristics of temperature anomalies and atmospheric waves using satellite and model data, conduct numerical simulations of wave propagation, and investigate potential pre-conditioning through changes in the zero-wind line height via ensemble simulations....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000 to fund research to understand the differences between observed and simulated patterns of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) warming. The 2-year project, beginning January 1, 2024, involves comparisons between climate models and a simplified Zebiak-Cane atmosphere-ocean model to identify the physical mechanisms causing the contrasting SST trend patterns. The research has implications...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $281,057 to The Trustees of Princeton University, awarded on January 1, 2025, will fund a project to explore the concept of "depth sensitive thermography" (DST) for mapping atmospheric temperatures over large scales. The project aims to develop a novel 3D temperature profiling technique that utilizes the atmosphere's varying opacity across thermal infrared wavelengths, with the goal of enabling more...
- This $345,667 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to improve understanding of the effects of stratospheric polar vortex disruptions on tropospheric circulation and surface weather patterns. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric and ocean sciences research, the award will be completed by July 2025. The grantee, Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc., will conduct data...
- This is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $1,010,185 with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The award was made to Cornell University to conduct research that applies extreme event attribution methodologies to quantify the influence of stratospheric variability, such as sudden stratospheric warmings, on the likelihood and severity of subseasonal extreme weather events like cold air...
- This $359,936 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a three-year observational program to measure winds and temperatures in the thermosphere near the ionospheric peak density from multiple sites along the eastern seaboard of the Americas. The project uses a network of Fabry-Perot interferometers to provide high-precision, real-time data on thermospheric dynamics and conditions that impact critical communication, navigation,...
