The research will deliver integrated observational analyses, theoretical demonstrations, and model experiments designed to advance understanding of Pacific Ocean...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $227,438 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York City to support research titled "Collaborative Research: The Relationship Between El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Diversity and Tropical Cyclones in a Hierarchy of Models." The research will be conducted from March 2021 through February 2024 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
- This $583,513 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Washington to develop interpretable deep learning models that better predict the development of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes. The research aims to leverage the Madden-Julian Oscillation, a key atmospheric phenomenon, to improve forecasts of tropical cyclone genesis at 1-2 week lead times and explore extending predictions...
Cornell University received a $541,181 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded on April 15, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2029. The project will deliver fundamental research findings, computational modeling tools, and theoretical frameworks examining how Atlantic tropical cyclone activity responds to Pacific sea surface temperature patterns across different timescales. Primary deliverables include peer-reviewed scientific research investigating the transient versus equilibrium responses of Atlantic tropical cyclones to reductions in equatorial Pacific zonal sea-surface-temperature gradients, utilizing a hierarchical modeling approach ranging from single-column models to high-resolution physics-based downscaling of comprehensive Earth system models. The project will advance national resilience through workforce development via graduate student training and broad accessibility of findings through open-source tools and collaboration with risk management stakeholders. Research outcomes will provide critical scientific insights to improve long-term hazard preparedness and risk management for coastal communities impacted by Atlantic hurricanes, directly addressing the knowledge gap regarding whether long-term Pacific Ocean warming produces the same hurricane suppression effects observed during transient El Niño events.
