About this award
The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $758,242 research grant award from a civilian federal agency for "Advanced Understanding of 21st Century Ocean Change Using CMIP6/AR6 Models and NASA Observations." Under this grant, which extends through February 28, 2027, the university will conduct research leveraging NASA satellite observations and climate models to understand externally forced ocean changes projected for the 21st century. The work focuses on separating internally generated climate variability from the forced response of the climate system to external drivers such as greenhouse gases, aerosols, solar activity, and volcanic emissions. The research team will characterize model biases using NASA assets including the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) dataset, then quantify global patterns of forced surface ocean change across multiple climate models to identify areas of model agreement and disagreement.
This grant is unclassified and carries no set-aside designation, indicating the university's competitive selection based on scientific merit and technical capability. The research will employ single-model initial-condition large ensembles to robustly separate climate noise from forced signals, with particular emphasis on understanding mechanisms driving patterns such as enhanced salinity contrasts between subtropical and tropical oceans and changes in the hydrological cycle. The work is positioned at the intersection of climate modeling and observational oceanography, supporting broader federal priorities in understanding climate system responses to anthropogenic forcing and improving predictive capabilities for future ocean conditions. The research will be conducted at the University of Colorado's Boulder, Colorado campus.
