About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park received a $415,659 research grant from a civilian federal agency (operating under the Shared Services Center) with a performance period from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2024. The research focuses on advancing measurement capabilities for ocean currents and winds as essential climate variables, with specific emphasis on surface wave impacts on Ka-band Doppler scatterometry. This work addresses the National Academy's recognition of the importance of simultaneously measuring ocean currents and winds to better understand air-sea interactions and climate dynamics. The grant was awarded without set-aside restrictions, reflecting UMD's competitive technical capabilities in climate science research.
UMD, a prominent research-intensive land-grant institution, is well-positioned to conduct this advanced oceanographic and climate research through its extensive federal research portfolio and capabilities in Earth science, environmental studies, and satellite monitoring applications. The work will be performed at the university's College Park, Maryland campus. As a child entity of the University System of Maryland, UMD operates within a larger state system that has demonstrated significant experience in climate change research, Earth science initiatives, and federal research partnerships with agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and other scientific agencies focused on environmental and climate-related investigations.
Description
Ocean currents and winds are essential climate variables that play a key role in air-sea interactions and are tightly coupled. The importance of measuring them simultaneously has been recognized by the national academy for NASA s earth science.
