Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $703,912 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. This CAREER award funds research to advance understanding of Pacific Ocean temperature variability and its impacts on North American weather patterns, particularly extreme events such as heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and flood-inducing precipitation. The research investigates discrepancies between numerical climate model simulations and real-world observations by examining the role of inadequate spatial model resolution and the relative contributions of externally-forced long-term changes versus internally-generated chaotic weather variations to decadal-scale Pacific variability. The project delivers fundamental scientific research and analysis products addressing the overarching hypothesis that current numerical models underestimate the fraction of decadal-scale Pacific variability that is externally forced. Research activities include analysis of existing model simulations and generation of new simulations using variable-resolution modeling approaches. These outputs directly support improved capacity for anticipating changes in extreme weather event likelihood and impacts on North America, thereby enhancing socio-economic benefits and national security preparedness. The work is performed at Cornell University's Ithaca, New York campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
