- This $505,233 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Indiana University to better understand the processes involved in transporting water vapor into the stratosphere. Specifically, the investigators will examine how sea surface temperatures impact cold point tropopause temperatures using reanalyses, numerical models, and COSMIC-II GPS data. They will analyze the atmospheric processes determining cold point temperatures and identify when...
- This Project Grant award of $538,591 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the relationship between tropical sea surface temperatures and the temperature of the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), which acts as a gateway for water vapor and ozone entering the stratosphere. The research involves conducting idealized modeling experiments using different climate models to reconcile two competing theories for how tropical sea surface...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000 to fund research to understand the differences between observed and simulated patterns of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) warming. The 2-year project, beginning January 1, 2024, involves comparisons between climate models and a simplified Zebiak-Cane atmosphere-ocean model to identify the physical mechanisms causing the contrasting SST trend patterns. The research has implications...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $622,435 supports research into stratosphere-troposphere exchange of ozone and its changes over time. Funded under the Geosciences program within the NSF Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, the award will examine observational estimates of ozone exchange based on satellite data through 2025. The University of Washington will calculate ozone exchange using methodology accounting for tropical upwelling and extra-tropical downwelling....
