NOAA Climate Program Office FY2025 Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program: TEPEX-C and TEPEX-E | October 1, 2024 (LOI) and January 17, 2024 (Application)

**Some programs are limited. Please read solicitations carefully and consult your Office of Research for specifics, such as limited applications through your university and internal application deadlines.**

The Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program supports research that enhances our process-level understanding of the climate system through observation, modeling, analysis, and field studies. This vital knowledge is needed to improve climate models and predictions so that scientists and society can better anticipate the impacts of future climate variability and change. In FY25 CVP will be soliciting proposals for the following competition:

Implementation of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) Equatorial Pacific EXperiment-Central (TEPEX-C/E) Field Campaigns.

In FY25, CVP is soliciting studies focused on observing, understanding, and modeling that advance the implementation of TEPEX-E – the central focus is to understand and constrain how the coupled Cold Tongue system regulates momentum, heat, and moisture across the Pacific, and vertically. Results will guide the next generation of observing networks, enable more accurate predictions of ENSO, and the Pacific’s global impact on future weather and climate. Details are described in the Science Plan. This effort is in support of NOAA’s Precipitation Prediction Grand Challenge Strategy (PPGC) and the World Climate Research Program’s Global Precipitation Experiment (GPEX).

In FY25, CVP is soliciting studies focused on observing, understanding, and modeling that advance the implementation of TEPEX-C – the central focus is advancing understanding of the coupling of the troposphere, ocean mixed and barrier layers, and the processes that regulate zonal temperature gradients and generate and sustain surface jets that expand and contract the Warm Pool. Results should guide the future development of numerical models as described in the Science Plan. This effort is in support of NOAA’s Precipitation Prediction Grand Challenge Strategy (PPGC) and the World Climate Research Program’s Global Precipitation Experiment (GPEX).

Application Deadline: Letters of intent (LOIs) due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on October 1, 2024; Full applications due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on January 17, 2025.
