Harvard College, through its Office for Sponsored Programs, received a $749,788 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded June 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for May 31, 2029. The grant supports research to advance understanding of convectively coupled waves (CCWs) and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) through development of a novel three-part research methodology. The primary deliverables include high-resolution atmospheric simulations using the System for Atmospheric Modeling (SAM) and the Superparameterized Community Atmosphere Model (SPCAM) to model wave-convection interactions, coupled with artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to analyze complex atmospheric processes. The research will generate neural network models trained on simulation data to improve prediction capabilities for weather patterns associated with these systems, including heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and other high-impact events. This project contributes to the Geosciences program's objective to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research in atmospheric sciences. The deliverables include peer-reviewed scientific findings, computational models, and AI/ML analytical tools that enhance forecasting capabilities for convective weather phenomena. By bridging large-scale atmospheric dynamics with convective cloud processes, the research addresses critical gaps in existing theory and advances predictive modeling of tropical atmospheric systems with significant societal impacts.Federal Grant Award Summary
