This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $269,066, with a period of performance from July 15, 2024 to June 30, 2027, is funding research to connect seasonal to millennial timescales through strongly coupled data assimilation. The project aims to develop and implement a new 4D variational framework for multiscale proxy assimilation, leveraging recent data syntheses of paleoclimate proxy observations to inform climate model reanalysis. The researchers will use the resulting monthly-resolved climate dataset to model and understand tropical cyclone statistics and their relationship to large-scale dynamics, as well as characterize sources of climate variability on seasonal to centennial scales. The award also supports graduate student training, development of K-12 education and citizen science visualization tools, and production of publicly available climate data for the paleoclimate and climate dynamics communities.
