This $1,185,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science examining the evolving role of the ocean and atmosphere in decadal to multidecadal climate variability modes. The principal investigators aim to determine if climate modes characterized by alternating 20-40 year warming and cooling episodes in the North Atlantic, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal...
This $596,100 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research led by the University of California San Diego's (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to understand the large-scale effects of shallow cloud formations on Earth's climate. The research aims to develop a global climate model that can simulate the interactions between small-scale cloud dynamics and large-scale climate processes, addressing three key questions:...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $799,904 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the role of varying ocean circulations in climate change from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. The award will support research using an ensemble-overriding method with multiple climate models to quantify the effects of wind- and buoyancy-driven ocean circulation changes under various anthropogenic forcings. The work will...
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 $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
This three-year, $358,347 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to determine the role of ocean dynamics in Atlantic sea surface temperature variations using coupled climate models. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will lead a collaborative effort to develop a hierarchy of coupled climate models within the Community Earth System Model version 2 platform. Comparisons between model pairs that disable specific oceanic...
North Carolina State University will receive $207,801 from the National Science Foundation under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to determine the role of ocean dynamics in Atlantic sea surface temperature variations using coupled climate models. Through a three-year project grant awarded September 1, 2022, the university will develop a hierarchy of coupled climate models within the Community Earth System Model version 2 platform to quantitatively assess how one-dimensional ocean...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $325k project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on July 15, 2021 to conduct collaborative research quantifying the global and regional impacts of the slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation through June 30, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system by expanding fundamental knowledge of the impacts of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $614,058 will fund research at San Diego State University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support efforts to improve reconstructions of past sea surface temperatures through developing methods to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature signals from geochemical proxies. Researchers will test approaches for correcting seasonal biases in proxy records against climate model...
This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
