This $167,227 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research aimed at advancing the understanding and prediction of tropical cyclone formation. The project, conducted by the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, will use conventional and AI techniques, ensemble forecasts, and state-of-the-art modeling to investigate the multiscale processes and predictability of low-probability tropical...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $198,702 is intended to enhance the understanding of the role of aerosols, such as Saharan dust, in modulating tropical cyclone rainfall in the Atlantic basin. The project employs cutting-edge machine learning techniques and numerical weather models to analyze the complex processes driving tropical cyclone rainfall and its interactions with atmospheric and oceanic systems. The...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award 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 warming. The project systematically examines this relationship in historical data, climate model simulations, and simplified model experiments to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards and long-term risk assessments as the climate warms. The outcomes will help...
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...
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...
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...
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's Geosciences program has awarded a $332,982 Project Grant to the University of Illinois. The grant, awarded on November 15, 2023, will fund collaborative research to understand the links between tropical cyclones and tropical circulation under climate change. The research will leverage two idealized configurations of the Community Earth System Model to isolate the mechanisms by which changes in atmospheric overturning cells, such as the Hadley and Walker Cells,...
