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) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $424,952 aims to improve understanding of the connections between tropical deep convection, planetary-scale stationary wave activity, and extratropical storm track dynamics. The research project, led by researchers at Stony Brook University, will explore how tropical heating influences mid-latitude storm track activity through modulation of stationary waves. This work will involve...
