This National Science Foundation project grant totaling $539,588 will support research by Global Atmospheric Technologies And Sciences, Inc. to model new Kelvin-Helmholtz instability dynamics and their impacts on turbulence and mixing in the middle atmosphere. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the awardee will utilize high-resolution modeling and observational data to identify "tube and knot" instability processes thought to enhance eddy diffusion and constituent transport. Key outcomes include quantifying the scales and intensities of these instabilities under varying environmental conditions, assessing their implications for energy dissipation and mixing relative to gravity wave breaking, and employing results to improve mixing parameterization schemes in weather and climate models. The two-year project beginning January 2023 aims to further understanding of unresolved mixing dynamics in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere region and constituent transport impacts.
