This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $267,901 will fund research into the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support a collaborative research effort examining how the temperature, currents, and thermal structure of the upper tropical...
This $635,123 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate recent changes in the Kuroshio/Kuroshio Extension (KE) system in the North Pacific Ocean. The goal is to elucidate the oceanic and atmospheric processes responsible for the observed "regime shift" in the Kuroshio/KE system since 2018, including the implications for North Pacific and North American weather patterns. The research will utilize...
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 three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $1,309,760 will fund research into the relationship between tropical Pacific climate influences and atmospheric blocking events across different timescales. Specifically, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will investigate how El Niño-Southern Oscillation diversity and changes in the tropical Pacific mean state impact blocking characteristics and extreme weather event frequency in observations, past climate experiments, and new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $290,165 to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa will support a collaborative research project to improve subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasting of extreme hydrometeorological events and their impacts in Hawaii. The project aims to deepen the understanding of intraseasonal climate variability in the central Pacific and develop an S2S forecast system for events like heavy rainfall, flooding,...
This Project Grant award for $786,467.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling and its impact on long-term climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The project will utilize a hierarchy of coupled climate models to explore how mesoscale air-sea interactions and associated sea surface temperature anomalies affect the large-scale...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $1,434,481 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant funding will support the acquisition of a Hawaii statewide mesonet to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric and earth sciences, as outlined in the Geosciences program administered by NSF under the CFDA number...
This Project Grant award of $548,713, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to understand how warming, ocean acidification, and community disturbances affect ecosystem metabolism in rocky intertidal communities. The award will fund a series of laboratory experiments, field studies, and modeling efforts to characterize the impacts of environmental changes on ecosystem functioning. The research aims to address critical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct...
This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
