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. The Columbia University research team, in collaboration with sub-awardee The Trustees of Columbia University, will utilize flux adjustment techniques and high-resolution atmospheric modeling to simulate the response of key ocean temperature patterns to...
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 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...
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 (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $215,146 to Purdue University to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with warming. The project systematically examines this relationship in historical data, climate model simulations, and simplified model experiments to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards and long-term risk assessments as the climate warms. The outcomes will help...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $437,238 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to support research into the mechanisms and variability of tropical cyclone formation under upper-tropospheric influence from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The award is being administered under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $126,436 will fund research at Princeton University from September 2022 to August 2024 to assess climate and stochastic forcing of North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity over the past millennium. The researchers will generate tropical cyclone datasets from multiple model simulations of the last 1,000 years and investigate relationships between past modeled tropical cyclone responses and climatic...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $105,497 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for collaborative research titled "Reconstructing Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Throughout the Southeastern United States." The award period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. in the amount of $374,070 aims to better understand how different types of precipitation in tropical cyclones impact their maximum sustained wind speeds. The 4-year project will use airborne Doppler radar data and numerical weather prediction models to examine how precipitation modes, such as convection and stratiform rain, perturb the kinematic...
Northwest Research Associates, Inc. was awarded a $399,852 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct modeling studies of tropical cyclone intensification from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. Under this award, the company will use reduced and full-physics computer modeling to study the transitions of underdeveloped tropical cyclones into powerful hurricanes. The modeling studies aim to improve understanding of intensification processes under...
