This three-year, $358,347 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to determine the role of ocean dynamics in Atlantic sea surface temperature variations using coupled climate models. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will lead a collaborative effort to develop a hierarchy of coupled climate models within the Community Earth System Model version 2 platform. Comparisons between model pairs that disable specific oceanic...
This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
This $784,389 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the causes of sea surface temperature fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean and their climatic impacts. The University of California, Riverside will conduct climate model simulations using the Community Earth System Model to explore the roles of natural variability versus external forcing factors like anthropogenic aerosols in driving the temperature changes. Specific...
North Carolina State University received a four-year, $480,580 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on El Niño/Southern Oscillation predictability. The university will use numerical simulations with the Community Earth System Model to test the hypothesis that some ENSO events are inherently more predictable than others due to factors like subsurface ocean preconditioning that can render the system less...
North Carolina State University received a $146,399 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on December 15, 2021 to complete work by November 30, 2022. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "RAPID: A MODELING-BASED INVESTIGATION IN SUPPORT OF PIONEER ARRAY RELOCATION DESIGN IN THE SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC BIGHT" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
George Mason University was awarded a $319,597 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support research to determine the role of ocean dynamics in Atlantic sea surface temperature variations using a hierarchy of coupled climate models. The researchers will develop models with varying ocean complexity to quantitatively assess the roles of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a 3-year, $575,150 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the impacts of ocean surface currents and waves on atmospheric boundary layer processes over the Gulf Stream. The research aims to determine how coupling of winds, currents, and waves modifies the budgets of heat, moisture, and momentum, as well as the extent to which vertical transport within the atmospheric boundary layer...
This $191,762 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to assess the predictability of annual to decadal sea level variability on global scales. Funded through the Geosciences program under the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research will collaborate with the National Center for Atmospheric Research to conduct simulations using the Community Earth System Model. The simulations at 1 and 0.1 degree resolutions will be evaluated against...
Colorado State University was awarded a $795,202 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The award is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the three-year award beginning September 1, 2021, Colorado State University will research the influence of climate change on temperature persistence. The...
This Project Grant award, totaling $415,615, was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431). The purpose of the award is to assess the importance of low cloud-sea surface temperature feedback strength and the role of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in driving multi-year sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) persistence in the northeast and southeast subtropical Pacific. The...
