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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to improve the understanding of atmospheric gravity waves and their role in transporting energy and momentum throughout the atmosphere. The $716,747 award to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is for a collaborative 3-year project that aims to integrate satellite and ground-based observations with numerical models to advance the knowledge of primary and...
This $359,645 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to observe and model primary and secondary gravity waves over the Andes region. The primary objectives are to: (a) improve understanding of both primary and secondary gravity wave dynamics, and (b) advance knowledge of turbulence and instability processes in the atmosphere and other geophysical fluids. The project plans to integrate satellite,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $175,314 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The University will characterize Northern Hemisphere atmospheric variability through research on Central American wind gap-induced upwelling in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Products and services include sediment proxy measurements, paleoclimate model and data examinations, forward...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...
This $188,835 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather approximately 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The award will fund a collaborative research effort by The Johns Hopkins University to: 1) Characterize the gravity wave characteristics and sources of concentric traveling ionospheric disturbances over the continental U.S. and...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $424,952 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to study the connections between tropical heating, planetary-scale stationary waves, and extratropical storm track activity. The study, to be conducted by two Ph.D. students at Stony Brook University, aims to demonstrate how tropical deep convection and variations in zonal mean temperature gradients influence the behavior of extratropical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award to Colorado State University (CSU) is for $254,826 over 3 years, starting on July 1, 2023. The award is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The project focuses on examining the relationship between the trade wind inversion layer and the seasonal development of...
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...
This two-year, $190,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating the relationship between the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation. The principal investigator will develop an idealized theoretical model and conduct simulations using the System for Atmospheric Modeling to explore how the MJO may be damped by upward wave propagation into the stratosphere or influenced by cirrus clouds whose...
