This Project Grant award of $650,456 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports collaborative research on the relationship between the trade wind inversion layer and the seasonal development of the Southeast Pacific Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The research aims to understand the dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms that produce the transition from unfavorable to favorable conditions for deep convection and the genesis of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $377,905 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The award, effective June 15, 2025 through May 31, 2028, will fund collaborative research to understand the drivers of cloud and precipitation variability using large-eddy simulations and detailed cloud observations, with a focus on stratocumulus clouds. The research aims to identify microphysical sources of spatial...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to understand the interactions between shallow clouds and Earth's climate system. The award totaling $596,100 was granted to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography on February 15, 2025 with a planned completion date of January 31, 2030. The research aims to develop a model that can simulate cloud-scale processes while also capturing...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $644,561 to Florida State University for research and educational activities related to tropical thunderstorm clouds and their impact on climate. The award supports research using multiple climate and weather models in a simplified framework to study how clustering of tropical clouds affects the water cycle and Earth's energy...
This Project Grant award of $464,291 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to understand the drivers of spatial variability in low-level stratocumulus clouds and how this variability influences cloud and precipitation processes.
