The University of Chicago received a $942,543 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The award funds fundamental research to improve scientific understanding of how atmospheric circulation extremes in the middle latitudes have changed during the satellite era and their relationship to heat and precipitation extremes. The research team will analyze trends in extratropical circulation extremes—including near-surface extreme winds associated with weather systems and jet stream behavior—by combining satellite observations, reanalysis products, physics-based Earth system models, and artificial intelligence (AI) models to develop quantitative, mechanistic explanations for these changes. The project will deliver new dynamical scaling theories based on moist thermal wind balance and conduct Earth system model experiments to isolate mechanisms driving observed trends in circulation extremes. Additionally, the award supports workforce development by funding the training of two doctoral students and one undergraduate student through the Leadership Alliance Summer Research Early Identification Program, contributing to the development of the next generation of atmospheric scientists capable of advancing weather hazard prediction and climate science research.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
