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 modeling techniques to simulate these multi-scale tropical rainfall processes, which have significant impacts on weather patterns in the continental United States. The project will also support the training of undergraduate students, a graduate student, and a postdoctoral researcher, as well as outreach to K-12 students to promote STEM engagement and careers.
