About this award
NASA awarded a $320,229.76 research grant to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) effective January 1, 2020, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. The grant directly addresses NASA's Call Priority #1 and supports the agency's Physical Oceanography and Climate Variability Research (CLIVAR) objectives by investigating the ocean's role in global heat balance and climate variability. The research will be conducted at WHOI's Woods Hole, Massachusetts facility, with no set-aside designation applied to this award.
WHOI, a leading private nonprofit oceanographic research institution, brings substantial expertise to this effort through its extensive federal portfolio spanning multiple agencies including NOAA, NSF, the Department of Defense, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The institution's research capabilities encompass marine science, oceanographic research, climate change studies, and advanced analytical services. This NASA grant complements WHOI's broader research agenda, which includes work on ocean carbon cycling, marine ecosystem studies, and climate reconstruction—all critical components of understanding ocean circulation's influence on climate variability and prediction.
Description
This project answers the NASA call priority #1, and the objectives of our proposed work are aligned with the NASA physical oceanography and clivar goals to understand the role of ocean circulation in climate variability and prediction, particularly through our investigation of the ocean's role in global heat balance.
