This Project Grant award of $797,237 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance understanding of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), a prominent mode of variability in the tropical stratospheric winds. The primary goals are to investigate the longstanding model bias in QBO strength in the lower stratosphere and the inability of models to accurately capture the QBO's influence on the stratospheric polar vortex. The project will utilize a...
The University of Oklahoma was awarded a $308,680 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. Under this three-year award beginning July 1, 2023, the University will analyze satellite and reanalysis dataset observations, conduct climate model simulations, and use a linear model to explore the...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been awarded a $336,926 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. Over a three-year period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, the University will analyze satellite and reanalysis dataset observations,...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to establish causality in the angular momentum budget of the atmosphere through insights from the quasi-biennial oscillation. The grant funds basic research activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Research supported by this award will generate new knowledge about atmospheric dynamics...
This Project Grant award of $711,800 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Colorado State University to investigate the impact of tropical Pacific Ocean rain layers on weather and climate patterns, such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation and El Niño events. The research explores how the formation of a cold lid, or stable layer, from fresh rainwater on the ocean surface can delay and then intensify convective cloud development, with...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division (Columbia University) was awarded a $117,062 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. The award period is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. As part of the grant, Columbia University researchers will...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $488,466 to fund research examining how atmospheric synoptic Kelvin waves influence the propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will receive the funding and conduct the research from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated...
Yale University was awarded a $434,861 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund analysis of the mechanism and impacts of intensifying Madden-Julian oscillations through December 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of Earth's integrated system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This three-year $400,242 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the interactions between easterly waves and wind jets in the current and future climate of the east Pacific. The principal investigator and one graduate student at Colorado State University will conduct eddy kinetic energy and vorticity budget calculations to elucidate the effects of Central American gap jets on developing easterly waves. They will also use...
This $579,603 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting a collaborative research effort focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling processes and their impact on climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The research team, led by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will use a hierarchy of coupled climate models to explore how regional-scale air-sea interactions influence larger-scale atmospheric and...
