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...
This Project Grant award of $122,636 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to analyze hurricane vortices using a recently developed mathematical framework called LIUTEX. The primary goal is to better understand how small-scale vortices within hurricane eyewalls relate to the overall storm structure and intensity, with the potential to improve hurricane forecasting. The research team at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to unravel the long-range predictability and environmental dependency of high-impact cyclones, such as hurricanes and nor'easters, using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The project aims to delineate the predictability limits of these dangerous storms, identify key atmospheric precursors, and probe the contributions of ocean, sea ice, and land...
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.
