This is a federal grant award to the University of Rochester, a private research university in New York, to study the coupling between mesoscale ocean processes and the larger-scale general circulation. The $567,943 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is intended to support an integrated analysis of satellite and model data within a novel multi-scale diagnostic framework. The objective is to advance the understanding of how mesoscale flows, which constitute a peak in the kinetic energy spectrum, influence the global circulation and its response to climate change. The proposed work is directly relevant to the U.S. Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) program, as it addresses temporal variability and improving predictive capability. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
