- 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 $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 $590,830.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the three-dimensional distribution of mesoscale kinetic energy in the global ocean. The research aims to integrate satellite altimetric data with subsurface observations from the Argo float array to better understand ocean circulation and climate impacts. There is no set-aside designation for this contract. As a leading...
- This federal contract award, valued at $646,627.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The purpose is to obtain a more accurate estimate of sea surface height by extracting information from existing along-track altimetry data, which presents a significant challenge due to the inherent spatial and temporal variability of the data. The University of Washington is a leading research university that has...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) is for a research project focused on measuring upper ocean community structure, sinking cells, aggregates and fecal pellets, physical export, and migrating zooplankton. The $3,274,262 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center will implement a multi-platform, multi-scale, multi-month autonomous array at two export sites. The goal is to complement ship-based programs by providing a...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AH59G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to support research on intrathermocline eddies. The $252,713 grant aims to analyze the global distribution and evolution of these eddies, and evaluate their impact on air-sea interaction and near-surface chlorophyll. The research will leverage satellite data, Argo float profiles, and eddy-resolving ocean models. UW, a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $471,492.77, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to support research and in situ observations of surface meteorology and sea ice motion. These observations are used to improve numerical weather prediction models for forecasting weather and sea ice conditions. The award is a grant for research with a completion date of May 27, 2024. UW is a prominent research institution that frequently...
- This federal contract award, valued at $807,462, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on improving the agency's capabilities in ocean flux measurement from space. The goal is to develop novel remote sensing approaches that complement current and future radiometer data and provide independent information about the air-sea interface thermal stability. This research aligns with...
- 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...
This federal contract award is for a grant to the University of Washington to investigate ocean surface boundary layer processes controlling sea surface salinity in the high-precipitation regime of an Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in the North Pacific. The award, valued at $687,224.21, will fund the deployment of two custom-designed autonomous Lagrangian floats to observe temperature, salinity, and upper-ocean shear from 200 meters to the surface over the course of a year. The data will be used to test the accuracy of operational and experimental boundary layer models, with a focus on the upper 10 meters. This award supports the NASA Shared Services Center and is not designated as a set-aside contract. The University of Washington has a track record of securing prime federal contract awards and grants across a range of agencies and disciplines, including research services for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Institutes of Health.
