This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,146 to Purdue University to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with climate warming. The project systematically examines this phenomenon across three areas: historical data, climate model simulations, and limited-area model experiments. The goal is to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards, such as wind, storm surge, flooding,...
This three-year, $533,747 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into how the intensity and impacts of tropical cyclones may change in response to climate warming after landfall. Specifically, the grantee will conduct idealized and real-data case studies in pseudo-global warming scenarios to assess potential shifts in tropical cyclone activity and landfall location, changes in precipitation patterns and the extent of...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $105,497 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for collaborative research titled "Reconstructing Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Throughout the Southeastern United States." The award period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
This $198,702 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Western Michigan University supports research to enhance understanding of the role of aerosols, such as Saharan dust, in modulating tropical cyclone precipitation in the Atlantic basin. The project employs advanced machine learning techniques and numerical weather models to investigate the complex processes driving tropical cyclone rainfall and its environmental drivers. Key objectives...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $167,227, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on advancing the understanding and prediction of tropical cyclone formation. The key research objectives include: Investigating the multiscale processes and predictability of low-probability tropical cyclogenesis events, particularly in the western Atlantic and Caribbean regions. This involves using conventional and AI-based modeling...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $777,109 project grant to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) to study the structure, dynamics, and moisture budgets of tropical cyclones from the lower to upper troposphere. The project will leverage airborne Doppler radar observations, dropsonde measurements, satellite imagery, and high-resolution computer simulations to better understand the three-dimensional structure of the...
Northwest Research Associates, Inc. was awarded a $399,852 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct modeling studies of tropical cyclone intensification from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. Under this award, the company will use reduced and full-physics computer modeling to study the transitions of underdeveloped tropical cyclones into powerful hurricanes. The modeling studies aim to improve understanding of intensification processes under...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $437,238 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to support research into the mechanisms and variability of tropical cyclone formation under upper-tropospheric influence from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The award is being administered under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding...
