This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $161,000.00 to the University of Washington to conduct collaborative research assessing the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (i.e., clouds) and sea ice on Arctic warming over the period 1980 to 2060. The research will leverage a well-established NSF-funded Earth System Model and observations, including data from the recent MOSAIC field campaign, to quantify how these factors...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Colorado State University a $673,107 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program. The grant will support improved understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions during the Arctic sea ice melt period from May to June 2023. As part of the Swedish-led ARTOFMELT expedition aboard the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean, the university will conduct observations and modeling to characterize aerosol...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $596,537 Project Grant to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on understanding the impact of Arctic sea ice loss on summertime climate change. This 3-year award, which runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research that expands knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The key objectives of the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $760,789 to Columbia University from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The funding supports research testing the hypothesis that rapid atmospheric adjustments are fundamental to the occurrence of Arctic amplification. The grantee will analyze climate model simulations to systematically investigate the role of rapid adjustments in Arctic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $158,059 to Colorado State University from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The funding will support collaborative research to understand the impact of declining Arctic sea ice on summertime climate change, including the effects on atmospheric circulation patterns, heat waves, and extreme weather. The research approach includes analysis...
This $250,771 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on the interaction between Antarctic low clouds and natural aerosols. The research aims to improve global climate model simulations over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean by better representing low-level cloud physics, which have significant impacts on ice surface melt and solar energy transmission. The 4-year project will...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $560,052 to Colorado State University to improve seasonal sea ice extent predictability in the Arctic Ocean. The research aims to use ocean heat patterns and the timing of autumn sea ice freeze up from reanalysis data and the CESM2 Large Ensemble to evaluate which environmental variables most significantly contribute to sea ice loss. The grant...
This $136,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic. The research aims to identify and quantify interdecadal (20-30 years) and multidecadal (50-90 years) patterns of climate variability in the region by integrating data from various sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate proxy data from natural...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $299,817 project grant to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. to conduct collaborative research from November 2021 through October 2024. The research aims to improve understanding of how amplified Arctic warming may influence extreme weather patterns in midlatitudes, as supported by the NSF Polar Programs CFDA #47.078. This program seeks to strengthen polar research and understanding through basic science best...
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), received a three-year, $446,899 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on September 1, 2021. The grant supports collaborative research to constrain uncertainty in Arctic climate variability, change, and impacts through process-based understanding. This work directly aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs' CFDA #47.078...
