This $136,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic. The research aims to identify and quantify interdecadal (20-30 years) and multidecadal (50-90 years) patterns of climate variability in the region by integrating data from various sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate proxy data from natural...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $194,921 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) to conduct research on climate variability in the Atlantic Arctic region. The research aims to quantify natural patterns of regional climate variability, including interdecadal (20-30 years) and multidecadal (50-90 years) cycles, by integrating data from various sources such as meteorological measurements,...
The National Science Foundation awarded $213,300 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Washington for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. Through model-observation synthesis, this Project Grant will characterize the hydrographic conditions and dynamics of the Marginal Ocean Zone in the Arctic Ocean. The researchers will synthesize available data to define the Marginal Ocean Zone based on ocean properties like temperature, salinity,...
This $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $161,000.00 to the University of Washington to conduct collaborative research assessing the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (i.e., clouds) and sea ice on Arctic warming over the period 1980 to 2060. The research will leverage a well-established NSF-funded Earth System Model and observations, including data from the recent MOSAIC field campaign, to quantify how these factors...
This $177,641 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) aims to conduct a well-constrained hosing experiment to investigate Arctic precipitation changes during the Younger Dryas, an abrupt global climate shift that occurred approximately 12,000 years ago. The primary research objectives are to test hypotheses about the role of icebergs and catastrophic land-based floods in contributing freshwater to the North Atlantic, which impacted Atlantic...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $560,052 to Colorado State University to improve seasonal sea ice extent predictability in the Arctic Ocean. The research aims to use ocean heat patterns and the timing of autumn sea ice freeze up from reanalysis data and the CESM2 Large Ensemble to evaluate which environmental variables most significantly contribute to sea ice loss. The grant...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $361,527 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct collaborative research on interactions between Arctic cyclones, atmospheric rivers, and sea ice in a warming climate. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through basic research best or only conducted in the Arctic and Antarctic. The University of Wisconsin System,...
This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $646,193 will fund research into the impact of Arctic amplification on midlatitude circulation from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research into the integrated Earth system. The grantee, Columbia University, will examine how Arctic sea ice loss and surface warming influence atmospheric circulation patterns and extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere....
