This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) for a project titled "Merging GRACE and GRACE-FO Ocean Bottom Pressure Anomalies Using Available Pressure Records and the Atmosphere OBP Relationships from Existing GRACE Data."
The goal of this $335,602.78 award is to create proxy representations of ocean bottom pressure (OBP) observations from the GRACE and GRACE-FO gravity missions to facilitate merging the data and bridging any gaps. This work will provide insights into the processes that contribute to mass distribution in the ocean, affecting its circulation, heat, and freshwater variability. The project will leverage existing GRACE data, in situ bottom pressure records, atmospheric data, and global ocean models. The University of Washington is the prime recipient, with unfunded collaborators from the University of South Florida, University of Washington, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology providing data and expertise. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
