This $579,603 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting a collaborative research effort focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling processes and their impact on climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The research team, led by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will use a hierarchy of coupled climate models to explore how regional-scale air-sea interactions influence larger-scale atmospheric and...
This $1,185,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science examining the evolving role of the ocean and atmosphere in decadal to multidecadal climate variability modes. The principal investigators aim to determine if climate modes characterized by alternating 20-40 year warming and cooling episodes in the North Atlantic, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal...
This Project Grant award, valued at $895,896.00 and effective from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The project will explore the dynamics and meridional heat transport of the Agulhas Return Current (ARC), the extension of the Agulhas Current that carries warm subtropical waters eastward along the northern flank of the...
This $784,389 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the causes of sea surface temperature fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean and their climatic impacts. The University of California, Riverside will conduct climate model simulations using the Community Earth System Model to explore the roles of natural variability versus external forcing factors like anthropogenic aerosols in driving the temperature changes. Specific...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $568,415 supports research into submesoscale ocean processes through May 2025. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will advance understanding of exchange between the well-mixed surface layer and stratified interior of the ocean at horizontal length scales of hundreds to thousands of meters. Major activities include Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations to quantify the impact of incorporating entrainment fluxes into a...
This Project Grant award, valued at $269,066, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants. The project aims to develop and implement a new 4D variational framework for multiscale proxy assimilation, leveraging recent data syntheses of paleoclimate proxy observations. The goal is to connect seasonal to millennial timescales and ocean to atmosphere in climate modeling and...
This $202,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support observational and modeling research to address critical gaps in understanding the production and distribution of giant sea salt aerosols (GSSA) in the atmosphere. The research, conducted by a postdoctoral fellow, will involve field measurements of GSSA using specialized instrumentation during research cruises from Hawaii, which will be combined with large eddy...
This Project Grant award of $129,932, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to better understand the role of surface wave direction and wave breaking in modulating air-sea interaction and transport processes at the ocean surface. The award, which runs from November 15, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will involve theoretical, numerical, laboratory, and observational techniques to quantify the directional effects of waves and wave breaking on...
This $5,526,178 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM3) project. The overarching goal is to transform understanding of the Southern Ocean's role in global carbon, heat, and nutrient cycles during a period of unprecedented climate change. Key activities include extending a circumpolar array of biogeochemical profiling floats to 13 years, enhancing biological...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,249,519 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), with a period of performance from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030. The project aims to advance the capabilities of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), particularly its ocean component, Modular Ocean Model version 6 (MOM6), to enable...
