- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded The Research Foundation For The State University of New York $677,967 on August 1, 2026, to develop physics-informed artificial intelligence emulators for stratosphere-troposphere coupling under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project addresses a critical gap in current AI weather and climate models: they forecast near-surface conditions accurately but fail to represent the stratosphere and its connection to...
- This NSF Project Grant award, provided under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to contribute to a better understanding and modeling of extreme weather events in the central Andes region, with the goal of improving the prediction of their impacts on hydrological and agricultural systems. The $400,000 award, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2029, will fund collaborative research between institutions in the United States, Switzerland, and Bolivia. Key activities include...
- This $202,000 Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2025, by the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award funds postdoctoral research through August 31, 2027, focused on bridging idealized atmospheric modeling with observational data to improve understanding of forest-atmosphere interactions over complex terrain. The primary deliverables include approximately 30 Large Eddy Simulation (LES) runs...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $526,171 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) to develop an isotope-enabled data assimilation system for studying the South American summer monsoon over the last millennium. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the spatiotemporal characteristics of the South American summer monsoon and its relationship with the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $609,211 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate how extratropical climate forcings modulate tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures and influence global weather patterns. The project addresses an observational puzzle: the eastern Pacific Ocean has cooled over recent decades despite model projections of warming, yet this...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $666,969 Project Grant to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 to advance understanding of orographic precipitation processes in continental multi-ridge mountain environments like Utah's Wasatch Range. Specifically, the project aims to investigate snowfall enhancement over...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded $119,998 to The Research Foundation For The State University of New York at the University at Albany to support collaborative research on monsoon variability across the Australian and Asian regions. The award, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028, will produce a comprehensive reconstruction of the Austral-Asian monsoon behavior...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded $599,937 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF-SUNY) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2025, for completion by August 31, 2028. This Project Grant supports fundamental research to assess the causes and reliability of the rapid decline in land surface relative humidity (RH) observed since the late 1990s. The primary...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $458,566 on August 15, 2026, through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on mechanisms governing temperature and precipitation changes over the Andes Mountains. The research uses high-resolution weather modeling over South America to advance understanding of mountain meteorology by examining temperature and precipitation change patterns across the Andes—a natural laboratory spanning from equatorial tropics through subtropical regions to the coldest southern latitudes. The project pursues two complementary efforts: quantifying mechanisms governing these change patterns through simulations that test competing hypotheses, and quantifying uncertainties arising from differences in model resolution and large-scale atmospheric dynamics. Uncertainty quantification employs sensitivity experiments, statistical models, and observational constraints. The work includes training a generative artificial-intelligence model to downscale a larger ensemble of global simulations over South America; the resulting projections will be made available to stakeholders and the research community. The project supports workforce development through graduate student support and undergraduate research experiences. Performance occurs in Albany, New York, with a period extending through July 31, 2029.
