The primary goal of the project is to address the critical...
This three-year, $251,073 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development and testing of an approach to adapt weather curriculum materials for middle school students with disabilities. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research will establish a team of local STEM educators, content specialists in atmospheric sciences, special educators, and individuals with disabilities working in STEM fields. This team will support student...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $9,000,000 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), will reimagine how the Unidata program can best serve its community of over 1,500 universities and colleges worldwide. The award will fund activities focused on: 1) Providing fair and equitable access to Earth system science (ESS) data and cutting-edge...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research to investigate the cognitive processes that underlie how students and experts reason about complex atmospheric processes, including the prediction of extreme weather events. The $203,017 award to Towson University aims to 1) contribute to cognitive science by developing new theories of human reasoning about fluid phenomena, 2) understand how atmospheric science...
This $320,091 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research effort between Central Michigan University and the University of Northern Colorado. The project aims to develop and evaluate a short-term, immersive field experience called the Student Training for Observational Research in Meteorology (STORM) program. This one-week experience is designed to engage undergraduate students at risk of attrition from...
This $707,741 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into dynamical mechanisms for midlatitude-arctic interactions and associated weather extremes in a warming climate. The University of California, Los Angeles will examine several interrelated dynamical mechanisms through three tasks from April 15, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The researchers will analyze linkages between stratospheric...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $326,956 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to develop a free, online, customizable, college-level course in radar meteorology. This 5-year project, beginning on September 1, 2023, aims to create a series of interactive, multimedia lessons that will educate the general public, professional partners, and students on the uses, applications, and limitations of...
This is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $1,010,185 with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The award was made to Cornell University to conduct research that applies extreme event attribution methodologies to quantify the influence of stratospheric variability, such as sudden stratospheric warmings, on the likelihood and severity of subseasonal extreme weather events like cold air...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) supports the participation of 15 graduate students and early-career scientists in the Science Policy Colloquium of the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
