This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $551,480 to the University of Oklahoma from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The grant supports research services focusing on advancing knowledge of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and Arctic cyclones. Specifically, the university will investigate the coupling of these atmospheric phenomena with underlying sea...
This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $396,216 project grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Interactions Between Arctic Cyclones, Atmospheric Rivers, and Sea Ice in a Warming Climate." The Polar Programs grant program aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $161,000.00 to the University of Washington to conduct collaborative research assessing the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (i.e., clouds) and sea ice on Arctic warming over the period 1980 to 2060. The research will leverage a well-established NSF-funded Earth System Model and observations, including data from the recent MOSAIC field campaign, to quantify how these factors...
This $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $361,527 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct collaborative research on interactions between Arctic cyclones, atmospheric rivers, and sea ice in a warming climate. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through basic research best or only conducted in the Arctic and Antarctic. The University of Wisconsin System,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $231,050 to the University of Washington from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 to characterize the impacts of snowfall and storms on the Antarctic sea ice-ocean system. The research aims to enhance understanding of ongoing and future changes in Antarctic sea ice, which is critical for improving projections of global ocean circulation, carbon uptake, and ecosystem health. Key activities...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $646,193 will fund research into the impact of Arctic amplification on midlatitude circulation from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research into the integrated Earth system. The grantee, Columbia University, will examine how Arctic sea ice loss and surface warming influence atmospheric circulation patterns and extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere....
This three-year, $411,911 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research to advance sea ice floe-size distribution and wave-ice interaction modeling capabilities within fully-coupled Earth system models. The University of Washington will receive funding to incorporate prognostic floe-size distribution components into widely-used sea ice and wave models, and parameterize wave attenuation in sea ice through data assimilation methods. Model code improvements...
