This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
This $215,146 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding research to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with warming. The research systematically analyzes the relationship between tropical cyclone size and sea surface temperature in historical data, climate model simulations, and simplified model experiments. The goal is to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards, such as wind,...
This three-year, $533,747 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into how the intensity and impacts of tropical cyclones may change in response to climate warming after landfall. Specifically, the grantee will conduct idealized and real-data case studies in pseudo-global warming scenarios to assess potential shifts in tropical cyclone activity and landfall location, changes in precipitation patterns and the extent of...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program has awarded a $332,982 Project Grant to the University of Illinois. The grant, awarded on November 15, 2023, will fund collaborative research to understand the links between tropical cyclones and tropical circulation under climate change. The research will leverage two idealized configurations of the Community Earth System Model to isolate the mechanisms by which changes in atmospheric overturning cells, such as the Hadley and Walker Cells,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $437,238 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to support research into the mechanisms and variability of tropical cyclone formation under upper-tropospheric influence from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The award is being administered under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $126,436 will fund research at Princeton University from September 2022 to August 2024 to assess climate and stochastic forcing of North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity over the past millennium. The researchers will generate tropical cyclone datasets from multiple model simulations of the last 1,000 years and investigate relationships between past modeled tropical cyclone responses and climatic...
Northwest Research Associates, Inc. was awarded a $399,852 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct modeling studies of tropical cyclone intensification from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. Under this award, the company will use reduced and full-physics computer modeling to study the transitions of underdeveloped tropical cyclones into powerful hurricanes. The modeling studies aim to improve understanding of intensification processes under...
This $167,227 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The grant aims to advance knowledge on the processes and predictability of low-probability tropical cyclogenesis in the western Atlantic and Caribbean regions. The research will utilize conventional and AI techniques, ensemble forecasts, and state-of-the-art modeling to investigate the mechanisms...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to enhance the understanding of the role of aerosols, such as Saharan dust, in modulating tropical cyclone rainfall in the Atlantic basin. The $198,702 award to Western Michigan University, granted on January 1, 2025, will employ cutting-edge machine learning techniques and numerical weather models to investigate the complex processes driving tropical cyclone rain rates and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. in the amount of $374,070 aims to better understand how different types of precipitation in tropical cyclones impact their maximum sustained wind speeds. The 4-year project will use airborne Doppler radar data and numerical weather prediction models to examine how precipitation modes, such as convection and stratiform rain, perturb the kinematic...
