This $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $535,065 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF SOLAR RADIATION PARTITIONING IN THE SEA ICE SYSTEM: IMPROVING CLIMATE MODELS USING OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MOSAIC FIELD CAMPAIGN." The grant period runs from January 15, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under this award, the University of Washington...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $401,241 will fund research at the University of Washington from May 2022 through April 2025 to advance understanding of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and cyclones. The grant was awarded under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), which supports basic research in polar regions. Specifically, the researchers will investigate coupling between tropospheric polar vortices, Arctic cyclones, and...
This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
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 $304,752 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs award will fund research to improve climate model simulations of sea ice physics and feedbacks through analysis of observations from the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate field campaign. The University of Washington will integrate spatially and temporally coordinated field observations with single column and global climate modeling to develop parameterizations that more accurately...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $602,124 two-year Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's National Center for Atmospheric Research to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Spatiotemporal Variability of Solar Radiation Partitioning in the Sea Ice System: Improving Climate Models Using Observations from the MOSAIC Field Campaign." The grant is funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen...
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...
This $239,286 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund the "Sikumiut: An Utqiagvik Sea Ice Field School" at the University of Washington. The project aims to bring together indigenous knowledge holders, numerical modelers, remote sensing experts, and field observers to collaboratively learn about and share knowledge on Arctic sea ice changes. Key activities include a virtual seminar series, a 1-week field school in Utqiagvik,...
