- This federal Project Grant award for $1,309,743.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Chicago. The award is for research focused on the "Dynamics of the Jet Stream Anomalies Across Scales", investigating the large-scale meanders in upper-tropospheric jet streams that influence extreme weather events such as heat waves, cold air outbreaks, and heavy precipitation. The research aims to build upon the Principal...
- This $188,835 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather approximately 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The award will fund a collaborative research effort by The Johns Hopkins University to: 1) Characterize the gravity wave characteristics and sources of concentric traveling ionospheric disturbances over the continental U.S. and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the relative contributions of different sources to the observed large-scale gravity waves in the thermosphere and their impacts on tides, planetary waves, and circulations. The $368,409 award, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will utilize the Specified-Dynamics Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with Thermosphere and Ionosphere Extension (SD-WACCM-X)...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $596,537 Project Grant to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on understanding the impact of Arctic sea ice loss on summertime climate change. This 3-year award, which runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research that expands knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The key objectives of the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $353,715 will fund a collaborative research project to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface, as driven by waves and wind. The project will utilize a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and advanced numerical simulations (large-eddy simulations) to test the hypothesis that coupling between waves and wind-driven currents is necessary to...
- Under a $717,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will conduct research on using satellite imagery to study internal gravity waves in the atmosphere. The project aims to develop and automate image processing algorithms to measure and characterize the properties of these waves, which can modulate cloud formation and impact Earth's heat budget....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $579,603 project grant to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UW-Milwaukee) to conduct collaborative research on the role of mesoscale air-sea coupling in climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The project, with a performance period from June 15, 2025 to May 31, 2028, aims to advance the understanding of atmosphere-ocean coupling on mesoscales (100-1000 km) and its impact on long-term,...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) has awarded a $598,349 project grant to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant, titled "Modification of Near-Inertial Waves by Coupled Air-Sea Interaction at the Mesoscale and Submesoscale - Near-Inertial Waves (NIWs)", will be used to investigate how coupled air-sea interactions impact the lifecycle of NIWs, from generation to dissipation in the ocean interior. The research will leverage high-resolution...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $177,158 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Chicago for a collaborative research project to improve the understanding and representation of atmospheric gravity waves. The project aims to leverage high-altitude balloon observations and specialized high-resolution computer simulations, along with machine learning techniques, to develop accurate, data-informed representations of gravity waves. This research is expected to result in better weather and climate models, improving short-term weather forecasts and long-term climate change projections. The project will also support the training of 3 Ph.D. students, 4 postdocs, and 10 undergraduate summer researchers. The award period is from May 1, 2025, to October 31, 2025.
