- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct an in-depth study of (sub)mesoscale ocean variability. The overarching goal is to better characterize surface density variability, particularly the role of salinity, across the submesoscale to mesoscale range. The $649,021 grant will leverage satellite observations, such as sea surface temperature and ocean color, along with in situ...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to explore datasets collected from seagliders and implement an adaptive sampling system that can measure rain rates and ocean salinity in near real-time. The $494,054 grant aims to advance the understanding of near-surface salinity stratification in the upper ocean by integrating in-situ observations from autonomous gliders with remote...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to analyze the relationship between rainfall patterns and upper-ocean salinity structure in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. The $447,058.73 research project will develop unified datasets of precipitation, salinity, and ocean turbulence measurements collected during the SPURS-2 field campaign. This work aims to quantify the physical processes that create...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $453,210.17 grant for research to the University of Washington (UW). The purpose of the grant is to expand understanding of submesoscale ocean physics and dynamics, with a focus on analyzing historical ship thermosalinograph data, satellite sea surface temperature measurements, reanalysis winds, and geostrophic velocities. UW is a leading research university that has received numerous prime federal...
- This is a $585,760 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute. The grant funds a project to investigate processes controlling sea surface salinity (SSS) patterns and variability, evaluate the sensitivity of salinity budgets to data sources and resolution, and analyze the dynamical impacts of upper ocean salinity on air-sea interactions relevant to climate phenomena. The project...
- This $442,503.36 grant award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study near-surface salinity stratification. The research aims to investigate the processes controlling the generation and evolution of freshwater lenses in the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which create discrepancies between satellite-derived sea surface salinity data and in-situ measurements. ESR will combine...
- This is a $129,920.56 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The grant is for research to analyze near-surface ocean color observations from satellites and airborne sensors in conjunction with in-situ data to develop a mechanistic understanding of the interaction between the wind-driven surface layer and the ocean interior. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is...
- This is a $288,348.95 grant awarded to the University of Washington (UW) by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to conduct research exploring the physics of wind-driven mixing in the global ocean. The award aims to deepen the understanding of this phenomenon by linking satellite data on wind and currents with microstructure measurements. UW, a prominent public research university, will carry out the research work at its facilities in Seattle, Washington. The grant does not...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) for a project to improve the Rain Impact Model (RIM) used to estimate the impact of near-surface salinity stratification due to rainfall on satellite-based ocean salinity measurements. The $421,594.32 grant is for a project that will modify the existing RIM to incorporate the effects of wind speed on the evolution of fresh water lenses created by...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on improving the accuracy of satellite-based precipitation measurements over the ocean. The research will involve using data from 64 acoustic rain sensors and 11 surface rain gauges mounted on ocean buoys to test methods for downscaling NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) precipitation product to better...
