This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $273,725 to the University of South Carolina from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding will support research to improve understanding of interactions between mesoscale and microscale flows in the stable boundary layer over shallow terrain under nighttime conditions. Researchers will analyze data collected through the...
Northwest Research Associates, Inc. was awarded a $473,044 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to examine nocturnal boundary layer dynamics. Through analysis of intensive measurements from multiple measurement sites, Nwra will increase understanding of very stable nocturnal boundary layers and sub-meso scale motions such as microfronts that occur within these conditions. The project aims to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $440,764 Project Grant to Washington State University to study the influences of large turbulent eddies on the validity of the constant flux layer assumption in the unstable atmospheric surface layer. The 3-year project will leverage a field experiment over a large water body in Mississippi to collect a unique dataset that minimizes the influence of advective terms, enabling a more precise examination...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $453,861 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to support research titled "Turbulence in the Long-Lived, Very Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer." The award period is from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The grant funds research aimed at better understanding turbulence under stable atmospheric conditions, such as those frequently observed at night or during cold seasons, and developing reliable...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $236,421 EAGER grant to the University of Utah to develop new approaches for representing land-atmosphere interactions in numerical weather prediction and climate models. The goal is to generalize the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) to better account for turbulence anisotropy and facilitate its application across diverse surface configurations, such as mountainous terrain and forests. This research aims to improve the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $100,000 aims to extend the applicability of Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST)-based surface layer parameterizations for modeling energy and moisture exchange between the land/ocean surface and the atmosphere. The research will examine the broad applicability of the Stiperski relations, which account for deviations from the traditional MOST, and develop new surface-atmosphere...
This $745,652 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into atmospheric boundary layers in extreme Alaskan winter conditions from December 2022 through November 2025. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Alaska Fairbanks will investigate boundary layer dynamics and turbulence regimes in cold, dark atmospheres. Researchers will conduct intensive field experiments using surface instruments, remote sensing, and unmanned aircraft to document...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $562,097 to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. to advance understanding of atmospheric energetics and the vertical variation of energy dissipation near the surface. Specifically, the awardee will conduct field experiments to directly observe non-hydrostatic energy transfer and dissipation processes. They will also investigate hydrostatic...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $510,294 to Portland State University. The grant supports research into atmospheric ridges over western North America under current and future climates. The grantee will investigate how various atmosphere, ocean, and land surface conditions influence ridge characteristics, and how potential changes may interact with warming...
The University of Washington was awarded a three-year, $689,979 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research to enhance understanding of mesoscale climate responses through use of a regional climate model ensemble. Specifically, the University will leverage a suite of regional climate models to simulate mesoscale climate processes and better understand how they may change...
