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 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 Project Grant award of $215,146 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with warming. The research aims to: 1) quantify the dependence of tropical cyclone expansion on sea surface temperature in historical data and climate model simulations, and 2) more carefully test the underlying physics of tropical cyclone size expansion under climate warming in...
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 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 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 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...
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,...
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 three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $459,780 to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science to advance understanding of tropical cyclone intensification dynamics in sheared environments. Specifically, the award supports research using the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model and HWRF Ensemble Data Assimilation System (HEDAS) to analyze tropical cyclone energetics, vortex...
