About this award

Earth and Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute, was awarded a $743,946 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on May 9, 2023, to conduct a three-year study on nonlinear surface and local dynamics in wind-driven ocean current systems (OSCAR currents) using three decades of observational data. The research will be performed at ESR's Seattle, Washington facility and is scheduled for completion by May 8, 2027. This grant award carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of ESR's established expertise in physical oceanography, satellite-based Earth observations, and numerical modeling of ocean dynamics. The award falls under NASA's Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001) Project Grant program, which funds fundamental research addressing critical questions in Earth science.

This project aligns with ESR's core competencies in analyzing wind-driven ocean currents and developing high-resolution time series products using multi-satellite measurements. The research will advance understanding of nonlinear dynamics in ocean surface currents, contributing to broader climate and oceanographic research objectives. ESR brings to this engagement its consistent track record of securing federal research contracts and grants since 2001, as well as its collaborative experience with academic institutions in developing specialized oceanographic knowledge products and conducting data analysis for government agencies.
