This is a $628,638 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) for research on ocean circulation dynamics and variability. The goals of the research are to characterize and understand the large-scale circulation variability in the Pacific Ocean, as well as the interaction of oceanic motions across different time scales and spatial domains. This research aims to increase the predictability of ocean circulation and density structures, which are important for climate variability. The study will primarily utilize satellite altimetry data from the past two and a half decades, along with ocean models, to analyze the role of mesoscale eddies in the large-scale ocean circulation. This grant is not associated with a set-aside designation and is part of NASA's ongoing collaboration with the Ocean Surface Topography Science Team to support research utilizing satellite data for both basic and operational applications.
