About this award
The University of Miami's Office of Research - Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) received a $711,828 grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on June 23, 2022, for research titled "Scale-Dependent Analysis of the Drivers of the Upper-Ocean Salinity Variability." The project, which runs through June 22, 2026, will be performed in Key Biscayne, Florida, and was awarded without set-aside designation through open competition. This research grant supports scientific investigation into the physical mechanisms governing upper-ocean salinity anomalies (SSSA) across multiple temporal and spatial scales in the global ocean.
The research leverages satellite observations, including a decade-long time series of sea surface salinity measurements, and eddy-resolving ocean climate model simulations to examine the salinity variance budget in frequency and wavenumber domains. The core hypothesis posits that the physical mechanisms driving SSSA evolution are scale-dependent, with surface freshwater fluxes and Ekman current advection dominating at large scales away from western boundary current extensions, while ocean eddy-driven freshwater advection generates significant salinity anomalies at mesoscales. The University of Miami's Tritium Laboratory serves as a subcontractor, supporting the project with specialized scientific analytical capabilities. This grant aligns with NOAA's mission to advance understanding of ocean processes and climate dynamics critical to marine resource management and environmental monitoring.
