This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $596,100 to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography, effective February 15, 2025 through January 31, 2030, supports research to understand the interactions between shallow clouds and large-scale climate. The research aims to develop a new climate modeling approach that combines machine learning-based emulators with a global climate model. This will enable...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is providing $941,193 to the University of Utah to conduct research on cloud properties and their response to varying atmospheric and climate conditions. The key objectives are to further develop a theoretical model for predicting cloud size distributions, test the model's ability to account for cloud properties that are invariant to climate change, and derive minimal models to accurately predict...
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...
