The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, awarded the University of Florida $381,298 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a five-year CAREER award effective September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031. This project grant funds a combined observational and interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) study of atmospheric conditions that promote sea-breeze thunderstorm development in Florida. The primary products include: (1) construction of a multi-platform convective database integrating operational radar data from the National Weather Service, field campaign radar data, satellite-measured lightning data, and environmental datasets; (2) analysis of this database using traditional and AI analytical tools to identify environmental controls and governing dynamics of sea-breeze convection; and (3) testing the hypothesis that temperature profiles—specifically inversion layer strength and boundary layer temperature—control convective depth, precipitation intensity, and lightning flash rates in Florida sea-breeze storms. The project directly supports public safety and economic interests through improved forecasting of sea-breeze thunderstorms and associated hazards including flash flooding and lightning. Deliverables encompass research outputs advancing understanding of non-linear relationships in sea-breeze convection, development of next-generation AI-fluent workforce through student training, and public outreach activities. The funding reflects NSF's statutory mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through fundamental research in atmospheric sciences and enhanced understanding of the integrated Earth system.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
