This National Science Foundation project grant of $399,905 provides funding from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a new poloidal convection model and multi-scale description of moist circulations in tall cumulus clouds. The University of California, Davis will test and further develop the poloidal model framework to incorporate both ascending and descending air motions within convective clouds. This will allow for new understanding of cloud...
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...
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...
The University of California, Davis was awarded a five-year, $810,286 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences beginning October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. The grant supports research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund research exploring the role of...
This $941,193 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to further develop a theory on the invariance of cloud size distribution under varying climate conditions. The research aims to evaluate whether certain cloud properties, such as the relationship between cloud size and number, remain consistent despite changes in atmospheric climate and chemical composition. The work seeks to understand the underlying physical mechanisms...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,929 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Office of Research Administration. This 3-year grant, effective June 1, 2024, will support collaborative research into the nonlinear dynamics governing the formation of cloud patterns, with a focus on marine stratocumulus and continental shallow cumulus clouds. The project will utilize a novel...
This $425,395 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into understanding low-cloud feedbacks using large-eddy simulation of spatially developing cloud transitions from February 15, 2022 through January 31, 2027. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research aims to address limitations in modeling low-cloud behavior over large areas by developing a hierarchy of large-eddy simulation model configurations at different scales. Several experiments are...

Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will leverage recent instrumentation developments to augment the Department of Energy's campaign conducted in La Jolla, California from February 2023 to January 2024. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will utilize...
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 $526,119 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program on February 15, 2024 will support research by the University of California, Berkeley to develop new scale-aware turbulence parameterizations for high-resolution weather prediction models. The goal is to improve the accuracy of weather and regional climate forecasts in the "gray zone" between 1-10 km grid resolutions, where traditional modeling approaches break down. The research aims to...
