This $686,707 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research into the evolution of water mass transformation and overturning in the western Nordic Seas amid climate change. Over three years, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will apply theoretical modeling, high-resolution coupled ocean-atmosphere-ice modeling using the SKRIPS system, and analysis of observational data from the Resilient Northern Overturning in a Warming Climate...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $558,265 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431). The goal of this 3-year project is to use large ensembles of global climate models to develop near-term and long-term projections of changes in extratropical cyclones and their associated extreme weather events over the U.S. This research aims to provide stakeholder communities...

The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a three-year, $585,834 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research on atmospheric controls of moisture extremes over Greenland. The grant was awarded under the Polar Programs program (CFDA 47.078), which supports basic research best conducted in or related to the polar regions. Through statistical analyses of historical atmospheric data and climate model experiments using CESM versions...

This three-year, $405,234 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder to develop initialization strategies for the Unified Forecast System coupled atmosphere-ocean numerical forecast model. The goal is to improve probabilistic skill scores for subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasts of 2-8 weeks by ensuring initial ensemble perturbations project onto oscillating eigenfunctions of the Koopman and Perron-Frobenius...

This $1,185,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science examining the evolving role of the ocean and atmosphere in decadal to multidecadal climate variability modes. The principal investigators aim to determine if climate modes characterized by alternating 20-40 year warming and cooling episodes in the North Atlantic, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal...

The Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research awarded a $120,000 Project Grant titled "OBSERVED ARCTIC CYCLONE FORCING OF COUPLED AIR-ICE-OCEAN DYNAMIC AND THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES" to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government educational institution, under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300) program. The grant supports fundamental research at the University of Colorado to expand scientific knowledge on atmospheric, ice, and ocean...

This $556,139 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Weather and Air Quality Research grant program (CFDA 11.459) aims to improve the Global Ocean Reanalysis (GLORE) system. The key objectives are to: Upgrade GLORE to replace the outdated Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS) as NOAA's Climate Prediction Center's real-time ocean monitoring tool. Enhance GLORE's ocean and sea ice data assimilation capabilities to advance...

The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $207,189 Cooperative Agreement to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431). The project aims to analyze state-of-the-art global ocean model simulations to quantify improvements in forecasting coastal sea level variability over seasonal to annual timescales....

The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $299,817 project grant to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. to conduct collaborative research from November 2021 through October 2024. The research aims to improve understanding of how amplified Arctic warming may influence extreme weather patterns in midlatitudes, as supported by the NSF Polar Programs CFDA #47.078. This program seeks to strengthen polar research and understanding through basic science best...

This $419,055 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) supports a collaborative research effort between the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Texas A&M University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project aims to advance understanding of how increased model resolution can improve seasonal to decadal predictability of sea surface temperatures in the...
