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....
- This federal contract award, NNX16AO60H, was granted to the University of Washington by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $116,920 training grant supports research to integrate data from the Argo program's new deep ocean float array with existing regional datasets to examine changes in ocean transport, heat storage, and sea level in the Southwest Pacific. This work aims to improve understanding of deep ocean circulation and heat uptake, which is...
- 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 $511,124.48, was granted to the University of Washington by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract is for research to investigate the global internal tide-driven ocean mixing by combining satellite altimetry and ocean model simulations. The research aims to improve understanding of the spatial and temporal variations of internal tides and ocean mixing, which is useful for NASA's ECCO2 project. The...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to determine if river discharge and subsurface river dynamics can be described from a Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) measurement of the surface height anomaly within an estuary and at the river mouth. The $103,758.67 grant involves a laboratory experiment, analysis of field data, and development of an analytical model to predict...
- 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 federal contract award, identified as NNX16AH65G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The $352,925.31 grant will fund research to quantify ocean variability at 15-100 km wavelengths, assess how submesoscale to mesoscale processes will be captured by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, and develop sampling strategies for SWOT validation and integrated regional observational arrays. The research aims to improve understanding of submesoscale-to-mesoscale ocean variability and its relationship to the background thermohaline and velocity structure, determine what features SWOT will be able to capture, and progress toward designing integrated observing networks involving satellite, in-situ observations, and numerical models. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
