This Project Grant award of $650,456 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports collaborative research on the relationship between the trade wind inversion layer and the seasonal development of the Southeast Pacific Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The research aims to understand the dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms that produce the transition from unfavorable to favorable conditions for deep convection and the genesis of the...
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 (NSF) Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000 to fund research to understand the differences between observed and simulated patterns of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) warming. The 2-year project, beginning January 1, 2024, involves comparisons between climate models and a simplified Zebiak-Cane atmosphere-ocean model to identify the physical mechanisms causing the contrasting SST trend patterns. The research has implications...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $655,738 supports research by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop a theory of tropical convective precipitation. The research aims to relate the characteristics of tropical convection over oceans to the large-scale atmospheric conditions. This work extends previous field campaign data analysis to incorporate data from weather reanalysis products,...
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...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program has awarded a $332,982 Project Grant to the University of Illinois. The grant, awarded on November 15, 2023, will fund collaborative research to understand the links between tropical cyclones and tropical circulation under climate change. The research will leverage two idealized configurations of the Community Earth System Model to isolate the mechanisms by which changes in atmospheric overturning cells, such as the Hadley and Walker Cells,...
