The University of Oklahoma was awarded a $308,680 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. Under this three-year award beginning July 1, 2023, the University will analyze satellite and reanalysis dataset observations, conduct climate model simulations, and use a linear model to explore the...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $810,537 provides funding from January 2023 through December 2027 to support research understanding how moist processes shape tropical weather systems in observations and general circulation models. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support the development of evaluation criteria to assess representation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and tropical depression-like disturbances in climate models. The criteria...
This two-year, $190,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating the relationship between the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation. The principal investigator will develop an idealized theoretical model and conduct simulations using the System for Atmospheric Modeling to explore how the MJO may be damped by upward wave propagation into the stratosphere or influenced by cirrus clouds whose...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $846,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to support continued investigations of the structure, evolution, and life cycles of intraseasonal fluctuations of the North Pacific jet stream. Under the award, University of Wisconsin researchers will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $717,604 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin System to study the seasonal evolution of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The project aims to advance understanding of how different seasonally varying processes lead to the seasonal evolution of individual ENSO events, which have significant societal impacts globally. The research...
Yale University was awarded a $434,861 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund analysis of the mechanism and impacts of intensifying Madden-Julian oscillations through December 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of Earth's integrated system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $320,688 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONVECTIVE UPSCALE GROWTH PROCESSES DURING RELAMPAGO" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant funding will support research investigating convective upscale growth processes during the RELAMPAGO field project. Specifically, the University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers will...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division (Columbia University) was awarded a $117,062 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. The award period is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. As part of the grant, Columbia University researchers will...
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...
The University of Washington was awarded a three-year, $689,979 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research to enhance understanding of mesoscale climate responses through use of a regional climate model ensemble. Specifically, the University will leverage a suite of regional climate models to simulate mesoscale climate processes and better understand how they may change...
