The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded The Pennsylvania State University $486,069 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025. The award will support research to comprehensively analyze common patterns of Rossby wave breaking in the Northern Hemisphere using machine learning techniques. The researchers will assess wave breaking patterns in past observations and climate model representations, and project potential changes over the 21st century. As part of the work, one undergraduate researcher will develop a real-time wave breaking tracking tool and another will examine impacts on the Mediterranean region. The research aims to advance understanding of these high-impact events on weather and the jet stream, while training early career scientists. If successful, the work will provide information useful to the research community, operational forecasters, and policy/adaptation decision makers.
