About this award
The University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $882,981 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct oceanographic research focused on ocean surface dynamics through integration of SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite data with drifter observations. The grant, awarded on August 5, 2024, carries an ultimate completion date of August 4, 2028, and was made without set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive selection. Research will be conducted at the University of Washington's Seattle, WA campus, leveraging the institution's substantial marine science research infrastructure and expertise in physical oceanography.
This award supports fundamental scientific research aimed at advancing understanding of ocean surface processes through a synergistic approach combining satellite altimetry data from NASA's SWOT mission with in situ measurements from ocean drifter networks. Such research directly contributes to the federal government's priorities in Earth observation, climate science, and oceanographic understanding. The University of Washington's selection as prime awardee aligns with its established track record as a leading research institution in marine and environmental sciences, including prior federally-funded work with NOAA and other scientific agencies on oceanographic and environmental research initiatives.
