Project Grant 2241538
- This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
- North Carolina State University received a four-year, $480,580 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on El Niño/Southern Oscillation predictability. The university will use numerical simulations with the Community Earth System Model to test the hypothesis that some ENSO events are inherently more predictable than others due to factors like subsurface ocean preconditioning that can render the system less...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to explore the dynamics and predictability of coastal El Niño events and their relationship to the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The $644,460 award, which commenced on June 1, 2024, will be led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The research investigates the underlying mechanisms driving coastal El Niño events, which can cause heavy...
- This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
- The University of California Irvine received a three-year, $814,240 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research understanding the multi-year dynamics of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), including its El Niño and La Niña asymmetries and climate impacts from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) EAGER grant award of $256,539 to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH) supports a project to investigate the history of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events over the past 5,000 years. The research team aims to create a composite ENSO record from multiple sedimentary records in the lowland Neotropics of northern South America. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the frequency and...
- This $1,185,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science examining the evolving role of the ocean and atmosphere in decadal to multidecadal climate variability modes. The principal investigators aim to determine if climate modes characterized by alternating 20-40 year warming and cooling episodes in the North Atlantic, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal...
- This $786,467 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to advance the understanding of atmosphere-ocean coupling on mesoscales over the Southern Ocean and its impact on long-term climate variability in the region. The principal investigator at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) will lead this project, which aims to use a hierarchy of coupled...
- This three-year, $834,774 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into further studies of dynamics for El Niño-Southern Oscillation diversity and complexity under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct a systematic investigation of spatiotemporal complexity in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon. Researchers will develop new theoretical approaches and use a range of models together with observations and climate model...
- This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern...
The University of Miami received a $708,450 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research on El Niño/Southern Oscillation predictability from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027. Through numerical simulations using the Community Earth System Model, the University will analyze the role of initial ocean conditions and atmospheric noise in limiting the predictability of ENSO events. Software and relevant datasets developed through this research will be made available to facilitate adoption by the research and operational communities. As part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric and ocean sciences with a focus on improving ENSO forecasts.
