Project Grant 2207179
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
- This three-year, $830,233 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the impact of greenhouse gas-induced global warming on tropical cyclones in the Pacific region. The Columbia University research team, in collaboration with sub-awardee The Trustees of Columbia University, will utilize flux adjustment techniques and high-resolution atmospheric modeling to simulate the response of key ocean temperature patterns to...
- This $529,671 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, supports research at the University of Arizona to comprehensively assess the processes governing over-ocean tropical cyclone weakening. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of hurricanes that weaken while still over the ocean, rather than intensifying, in order to improve forecasting of these events and mitigate risks to vulnerable coastal populations. Key activities...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
- 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 (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $577,875 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to study the factors and processes controlling the duration of concentric eyewall structure and associated intensity changes in tropical cyclones. The key objectives of this 3-year research project are to: Examine how initial tropical cyclone structure and environmental conditions affect the timescale of the eyewall replacement cycle (ERC) and associated...
- This $583,513 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Washington to develop interpretable deep learning models that better predict the development of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes. The research aims to leverage the Madden-Julian Oscillation, a key atmospheric phenomenon, to improve forecasts of tropical cyclone genesis at 1-2 week lead times and explore extending predictions...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $105,497 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for collaborative research titled "Reconstructing Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Throughout the Southeastern United States." The award period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the...
- 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 National Science Foundation project grant of $1,066,372 will fund research into the governing dynamics and predictability of recurving eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The principal investigators and graduate students at the University at Albany will investigate why a small number of hurricanes in the eastern Pacific transition into extra-tropical cyclones and the atmospheric processes that cause impacts in Mexico and the western U.S. Through climatological, composite and case studies using global weather model data, the team aims to advance understanding of the storm evolution and flow patterns. In addition to contributing to atmospheric science knowledge, the award will support graduate training and education outreach to underrepresented groups. Findings will be shared with forecasters and the research community to help improve operational modeling and hazard awareness. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York will administer the subaward.
