- This $707,741 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into dynamical mechanisms for midlatitude-arctic interactions and associated weather extremes in a warming climate. The University of California, Los Angeles will examine several interrelated dynamical mechanisms through three tasks from April 15, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The researchers will analyze linkages between stratospheric...
- This $202,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to analyze precipitation variability and extreme rainfall events in Southern California. The project will combine tree-ring data, historical weather observations, and climate model simulations to reconstruct the range of precipitation variability over time in this region, with a focus on atmospheric rivers and extreme precipitation. The research goals include quantifying the...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to leverage high-resolution modeling and dynamical theory to elucidate changes in extreme precipitation in a monsoonal regime. The funding will support basic research from October 2021 through September 2023 aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of enhancing fundamental knowledge and...
- This National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $163,769 to the University of California, Los Angeles from September 2022 through August 2026 to support collaborative research characterizing interactions between tropical deep convection and the environment using a buoyancy framework. The research team will study how tropical convection interacts with its surrounding environment using a new framework focusing on entrainment of near-surface air into...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $399,905 provides funding from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a new poloidal convection model and multi-scale description of moist circulations in tall cumulus clouds. The University of California, Davis will test and further develop the poloidal model framework to incorporate both ascending and descending air motions within convective clouds. This will allow for new understanding of cloud...
This $1,389,411 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continuing research efforts of the Principal Investigator to understand the probability distribution of rainfall intensity and its relationship to climate change.
