The grant is for a project titled "ESTABLISHING SATELLITE-BASED SURFACE WIND STRESS AND EKMAN CIRCULATION IN THE POLAR OCEANS" with a period of performance through May 8, 2027. WHOI is a leading independent oceanographic research institution that has extensive experience...
This federal contract award, valued at $1,190,981.00, was granted to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, by the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The award supports the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) program, which was established in 2006 to promote, plan, and coordinate multidisciplinary activities and research...
This is a $697,110.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a research project titled "Particulate Organic Matter (POM) in the Upper Ocean." The project aims to characterize the vertical transport of POM and assess the ability of various observing system configurations to measure these fluxes. The research will use a submesoscale-resolving ocean model and observational datasets from field campaigns to investigate how physical processes like eddies, fronts, and mixed layer dynamics influence the distribution and export of POM. The grant supports the development of Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) to test the performance of autonomous assets like floats, gliders, and sediment traps in capturing submesoscale POM export pathways. This work will inform the design and implementation of future EXPORTS field campaigns to study the biological pump and carbon cycle. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded directly to the prime contractor, WHOI, which is a non-profit oceanographic research institution.
