- This $707,741 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into dynamical mechanisms for midlatitude-arctic interactions and associated weather extremes in a warming climate. The University of California, Los Angeles will examine several interrelated dynamical mechanisms through three tasks from April 15, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The researchers will analyze linkages between stratospheric...
- This is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $1,010,185 with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The award was made to Cornell University to conduct research that applies extreme event attribution methodologies to quantify the influence of stratospheric variability, such as sudden stratospheric warmings, on the likelihood and severity of subseasonal extreme weather events like cold air...
- This federal Project Grant award for $650,000.00, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to unravel the long-range predictability and environmental dependency of high-impact cyclones using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The research project, awarded to the University of Illinois, aims to improve fundamental understanding of cyclone behavior, including hurricanes and nor'easters, in order to develop more...
- This $579,603 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. The grant supports a collaborative research project focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling processes and their impact on long-term climate variability in the Southern Ocean region. The project aims to use a hierarchy of coupled climate models to investigate how mesoscale air-sea interactions and related sea...
- This three-year $400,242 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the interactions between easterly waves and wind jets in the current and future climate of the east Pacific. The principal investigator and one graduate student at Colorado State University will conduct eddy kinetic energy and vorticity budget calculations to elucidate the effects of Central American gap jets on developing easterly waves. They will also use...
- This $345,667 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to improve understanding of the effects of stratospheric polar vortex disruptions on tropospheric circulation and surface weather patterns. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric and ocean sciences research, the award will be completed by July 2025. The grantee, Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc., will conduct data...
- This $212,120 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research into the impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather conditions. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with Clemson University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025, the research will advance...
- This $1,482,996 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles to diagnose and understand the mechanisms behind warm season extreme weather over central and intermountain United States. The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences support. Specifically, the UCLA researchers will apply statistical...
- This $1,389,411 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continuing research efforts of the Principal Investigator to understand the probability distribution of rainfall intensity and its relationship to climate change. The key objectives include: Explaining why increases in precipitation intensity in a warming climate exceed expectations based solely on increased water vapor content. Exploring how the suppression of convection due...
This $1,309,743 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the University of Chicago focused on understanding the dynamics and variability of upper-tropospheric jet streams and their impact on extreme weather events. The work aims to build on the Principal Investigator's prior research by using a conserved quantity called Local Wave Activity to study three key problems: the seasonal suppression of cyclonic weather, the dynamics behind sudden stratospheric warmings, and the duration of blocking events. The research will advance scientific knowledge of middle-latitude atmospheric circulation dynamics and improve understanding of how large-scale jet stream patterns influence extreme surface weather conditions like heat waves, cold air outbreaks, and heavy precipitation. The project is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2028.
