This $471,155 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to improve understanding of convective processes in the tropics across scales. The research aims to shed light on the interactions between small-scale details (e.g., individual thunderstorms) and large-scale patterns (e.g., monsoons) of tropical rainfall, which is important for enhancing weather...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been awarded a $336,926 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. Over a three-year period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, the University will analyze satellite and reanalysis dataset observations,...
This $655,738 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to develop a theory of tropical convective precipitation. The work builds on previous field campaigns, using aircraft measurements, reanalysis data, and satellite observations to relate the structure of convection to atmospheric conditions and rainfall characteristics. The project aims to better understand the...
This Project Grant award of $711,800 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Colorado State University to investigate the impact of tropical Pacific Ocean rain layers on weather and climate patterns, such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation and El Niño events. The research explores how the formation of a cold lid, or stable layer, from fresh rainwater on the ocean surface can delay and then intensify convective cloud development, with...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $297,316 project grant to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct collaborative research on convective processes in the tropics. The project, which runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, aims to improve understanding of the interaction between small-scale cloud and storm details and large-scale rainfall patterns in the tropics. Key activities include leveraging advanced...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $371,130 supports collaborative research characterizing interactions between tropical deep convection and the environment using a buoyancy framework. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will advance understanding of tropical convection through studying how storms interact with surrounding conditions using an air entrainment analysis. Over four years from September 2022, researchers at the University of...
