This $471,155 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to improve understanding of convective processes in the tropics across scales. The research aims to shed light on the interactions between small-scale details (e.g., individual thunderstorms) and large-scale patterns (e.g., monsoons) of tropical rainfall, which is important for enhancing weather...
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...
The University of Florida was awarded a $292,448 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the three-year award beginning August 1, 2021, the University will research thermodynamic modification of winter storms in a warmer climate. The Division of Sponsored Research will administer the funding on behalf...
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...
This $596,100 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the University of California, San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The research aims to develop a new climate modeling approach that can better capture the interactions between small-scale cloud processes and large-scale climate dynamics. Key objectives include: 1) understanding how climate-scale adjustments may buffer the radiative effects of aerosols on...
This $655,738 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to develop a theory of tropical convective precipitation. The work builds on previous field campaigns, using aircraft measurements, reanalysis data, and satellite observations to relate the structure of convection to atmospheric conditions and rainfall characteristics. The project aims to better understand the...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $399,905 provides funding from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a new poloidal convection model and multi-scale description of moist circulations in tall cumulus clouds. The University of California, Davis will test and further develop the poloidal model framework to incorporate both ascending and descending air motions within convective clouds. This will allow for new understanding of cloud...
This Project Grant award of $711,800 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Colorado State University to investigate the impact of tropical Pacific Ocean rain layers on weather and climate patterns, such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation and El Niño events. The research explores how the formation of a cold lid, or stable layer, from fresh rainwater on the ocean surface can delay and then intensify convective cloud development, with...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $810,537 provides funding from January 2023 through December 2027 to support research understanding how moist processes shape tropical weather systems in observations and general circulation models. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support the development of evaluation criteria to assess representation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and tropical depression-like disturbances in climate models. The criteria...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $476,876 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami on September 1, 2021 for work completing August 31, 2024. The grant funds the CloudDrift project to develop a platform for accelerating climate research using Lagrangian data. Key products include identifying an efficient cloud-optimized data format for Lagrangian datasets tailored to community needs. An open-source library will be created to convert legacy...
