As described under the Geosciences program, the funding will strengthen...
- This $941,193 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to further develop a theory on the invariance of cloud size distribution under varying climate conditions. The research aims to evaluate whether certain cloud properties, such as the relationship between cloud size and number, remain consistent despite changes in atmospheric climate and chemical composition. The work seeks to understand the underlying physical mechanisms...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $844,671 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton University to conduct research titled "A DIRECT MODELING APPROACH TO MOMENTUM, HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGE AT THE OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE INTERFACE AT HIGH WIND SPEED" from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The research aims to develop a computational framework for modeling the coupled air-water flows and exchange of momentum, heat, and mass at...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences award provides $509,769 to Rutgers, The State University from August 2023 through July 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the processes governing transitions in subtropical marine boundary layer cloudiness. The research aims to improve the representation of these cloud transitions in weather forecast and climate models by investigating the shifting balance of physical processes that drive the evolution from solid stratocumulus cloud cover to more broken, cumulus-coupled cloud structures over the eastern North Atlantic region. Key research activities include leveraging high-resolution computer simulations and a causal analysis framework to build a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms responsible for these cloud transitions, which play a critical role in the Earth's energy budget and climate system.
