This National Science Foundation project grant of $320,847 will fund research into the tropospheric response to stratospheric polar vortex disruptions and their application to subseasonal to seasonal weather prediction under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Principal investigators from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will analyze observational datasets, climate model simulations, and ensemble forecasts to better understand how differences in the pattern of distortions during...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $170,642 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, Boulder to conduct collaborative research on the four-dimensional impacts of strong polar vortices on the thermosphere-ionosphere system. The research seeks to investigate how the state of the polar vortex affects thermospheric neutral winds, composition, and the ionosphere at northern midlatitudes. The team will leverage observations from...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $401,241 will fund research at the University of Washington from May 2022 through April 2025 to advance understanding of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and cyclones.
