About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0419, was granted to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, to conduct analyses that assess the robustness of the ECCO (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) reanalysis results in the context of primary data sources such as satellite and ocean observation programs. The $599,753.96 grant, awarded on January 1, 2020 by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency), supports research to determine if long-term climate responses can be detected in the mid-depth ocean while reproducing global data sets, which could provide evidence of the lingering influence of past climate. This work is not associated with any set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2023. WHOI holds two Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the U.S. Geological Survey for providing specialized isotope analysis services in support of the agency's earth science research.
Description
Analyses from individual data sources, such as the grace satellite, satellite altimeters, and the argo program, suggest that subsurface ocean cooling is possible in the face of warming elsewhere, but the uncertainties are too large to be conclusive. Here we seek to place the ecco reanalysis results in the context of these primary information sources in order to assess the robustness of the reanalysis. Should a long-term climate response be detectable in the mid-depth ocean while simultaneously reproducing our best global data sets, IT would represent tangible evidence of the lingering influence of past climate today. Despite small subsurface temperature trends, the consequences for the planetary energy budget are potentially large due to the great heat capacity and mass of the subsurface ocean.
