This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $318,549 to support research evaluating numerical model skill in simulating near-surface winds in the Northern Hemisphere under past climate conditions. Specifically, the University of Illinois will synthesize paleowind data and conduct data-model comparisons to enhance understanding of factors driving changes in northern...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $718,487 supports research into the drivers of regional climate change patterns and their implications. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2027. The principal investigator and collaborators from multiple international institutions will use a suite of climate model experiments to further understanding of the physical mechanisms influencing sea surface temperature warming patterns in key...
This $182,421 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award to the University of Hawaii at Manoa will support a 5-year project titled "CAREER: Climate Variability in Hawaii through Scientific and Indigenous Approaches." The project aims to combine quantitative scientific methods with traditional ecological knowledge from Hawaii's indigenous communities to provide a holistic understanding of climate variability and extreme weather events in the Hawaiian islands. The...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $1,434,481 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant funding will support the acquisition of a Hawaii statewide mesonet to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric and earth sciences, as outlined in the Geosciences program administered by NSF under the CFDA number...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute will study the global distribution of two key ocean properties related to wind-driven energy - transmissivity (the fraction of wind energy that propagates into the ocean interior) and mixing efficiency (the portion of energy that goes into mixing versus dissipation). The $242,731 award, funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will leverage a high-resolution numerical model to...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $1,309,760 will fund research into the relationship between tropical Pacific climate influences and atmospheric blocking events across different timescales. Specifically, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will investigate how El Niño-Southern Oscillation diversity and changes in the tropical Pacific mean state impact blocking characteristics and extreme weather event frequency in observations, past climate experiments, and new...
This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $311,449 Project Grant to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (dba Nwra) to study the global distribution of two key ocean properties related to wind-driven internal wave energy. The award will fund a high-resolution, process-based numerical modeling effort to determine the mechanisms associated with "transmissivity" (the fraction of wind-induced energy that propagates into the ocean...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award, with a total funding of $438,734, supports a collaborative research effort to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface caused by waves and wind. The research will be conducted through a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and state-of-the-art numerical simulations, with the goal of improving the representation of the ocean surface boundary layer in Earth-system models....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $844,671 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton University to conduct research titled "A DIRECT MODELING APPROACH TO MOMENTUM, HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGE AT THE OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE INTERFACE AT HIGH WIND SPEED" from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The research aims to develop a computational framework for modeling the coupled air-water flows and exchange of momentum, heat, and mass at...
