The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $541,521 to the University of Colorado, Boulder, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on July 15, 2026, for a CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) award focused on polar and subtropical jet stream research. The project, scheduled for completion on June 30, 2031, will deliver research examining the global characteristics, predictability, and future climate projections of jet superposition events—phenomena in which polar and subtropical jet streams merge to create winds exceeding 200 miles per hour. The research will advance understanding of how jet superpositions contribute to extreme weather events and aviation hazards while identifying predictability factors within weather forecast models and projecting how these atmospheric phenomena may evolve under future climate conditions. In addition to core research deliverables, the project includes workforce development and educational products. The award will support student training in weather forecasting and hazard communication to enhance workforce readiness for engagement with public and private sector stakeholders. A key educational product is the establishment of a first-of-its-kind cross-university forecasting organization serving students across multiple Colorado Front Range institutions. No sub-awards are planned under this project grant.Federal Grant Award Summary
