This $205,187 Project Grant awarded by the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences at the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) will fund a collaborative research project to improve understanding and forecasting of quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) - thunderstorm complexes that can produce tornadoes and extreme winds. The research team at the University of Nebraska will create a 10+ year climatology of QLCS events using advanced weather radar data, and combine...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $381,865 to Colorado State University aims to understand how the predictability of severe weather events, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, may change as the climate warms. The research will generate and analyze large datasets of numerical weather model forecasts to assess how the ability to predict severe storms evolves in recent (20th century) versus future (21st century) climate scenarios. This work could...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research by Texas Tech University to investigate the predictability of severe weather events, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, under current and future climate conditions. The $380,904 award, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will involve creating and analyzing large datasets of numerical weather model forecasts to understand how and why the predictability of...
This $397,337 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the drivers and impacts of warm-season climate extremes in North America under a changing climate. The awardee, Northern Illinois University, will use high-resolution global climate modeling to examine how factors across various spatial scales influence extreme events like floods, heat waves and droughts. Researchers will simulate past and potential future warm seasons to...
Northern Illinois University was awarded a $474,682 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The grant aims to advance understanding of intraseasonal variability in severe convective storms in the United States through basic research. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding knowledge of the integrated Earth system, this NSF grant will support Northern Illinois University...
This $1.1 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Pennsylvania State University from April 2022 through March 2025 to improve understanding of supercell thunderstorms and tornado formation. The research team will analyze well-observed tornadic storms using innovative observation and simulation techniques to address fundamental questions about tornado rotation, the role of surface friction and baroclinically-generated...
This Project Grant award for $199,316, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to advance the understanding of how extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, may change in response to future climate scenarios. The project will evaluate whether artificial intelligence and machine learning can provide a faster, more efficient alternative for simulating rainfall patterns compared to traditional climate models. The research will train...
This three-year, $846,782 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the effect of future climate change on severe convective storms. The awardee, the University of Washington, will combine self-organized maps and idealized storm-scale simulations to examine how severe thunderstorms and tornadoes may change in a warmer climate. Researchers will first use data-based methods with climate model simulations to understand...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $183,248 Project Grant under CFDA Program 47.050 - Geosciences to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF) at SUNY Oswego. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MESOSCALE PREDICTABILITY ACROSS CLIMATE REGIMES", aims to understand whether severe storms and associated weather hazards, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, can be better predicted as the Earth's climate warms. The research will involve...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $652,433 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to conduct research on mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and associated high-wind phenomena like bow echoes and derechos. The key objectives are to: 1) examine processes contributing to upscale growth and bow echo formation in MCSs, 2) improve understanding of factors leading to long-lasting, significantly severe...
