The U.S. Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300) federal grant program. The grant, which runs from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027, supports a project to improve the prediction of tropical cyclone track and intensity using machine learning-based ensemble techniques. As a historically black land-grant university with extensive experience partnering with federal agencies, NC A&T will leverage its expertise in areas such as engineering, atmospheric science, and machine learning to advance this naval research. The project aims to develop innovative methods to enhance the accuracy of tropical cyclone forecasting, which has important implications for naval operations and emergency preparedness.
