The grant, valued at $135,619.05, will investigate the relationship between the ocean water cycle and surface salinity, and provide expertise towards improving the estimates of freshwater fluxes using salinity measurements, including those from NASA's Aquarius satellite mission....
- This is a $572,981.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration Division for research related to the ocean's carbon cycle and its response to climate change. The grant is focused on using Earth system models (ESMs) to understand how anthropogenic climate change will impact the ocean's solubility and biological carbon pumps, which have important implications for the coupled...
- This federal contract award, valued at $740,679, was granted by NASA to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the relationship between air-sea fluxes, mid-latitude cyclones, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The objectives are to 1) understand how mid-latitude cyclones influence turbulent fluxes and affect Labrador Sea water mass formation and CO2 uptake, 2) assess the skill of the NASA-GISS climate model in reproducing storm...
- This is a $585,760 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute. The grant funds a project to investigate processes controlling sea surface salinity (SSS) patterns and variability, evaluate the sensitivity of salinity budgets to data sources and resolution, and analyze the dynamical impacts of upper ocean salinity on air-sea interactions relevant to climate phenomena. The project...
- This is a $268,258 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which operates the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research focused on revisiting two major aspects of ocean mixing in the context of new high-resolution data on air-sea heat fluxes and eddy-resolving climate models. Specifically, the research aims to: 1) determine the...
- This is a $1,611,932 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on ocean dynamics, sea-ice, and climate change processes. The grant has no set-aside designation. The research aims to leverage the complementary expertise of researchers from MIT and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in these scientific domains. The project has a period of performance from April 1, 2021 to March...
- This federal contract award is a $797,491 grant provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, a non-profit marine research organization located in East Boothbay, Maine. The grant supports research on the impacts of changing circulation patterns in the subarctic Atlantic region on net primary production, using a combination of modeling and historical data analysis. The research aligns with the NASA-sponsored EXPORTS (East...
- This is a $1,478,914.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a private non-profit research organization, to study how Antarctic marine predator populations will respond to climate variability and change. The grant aims to quantify the dependence of ecosystems on environmental conditions to enable future prediction. This research supports NASA's climate science and environmental monitoring programs. The grant does...
- The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $479,360 research grant from NASA (through a Civilian Shared Services Center) with a completion date of December 31, 2026. This non-set-aside award supports oceanographic research aligned with NASA's Physical Oceanography Program theme "Ocean Physics of a Warming Earth." The research focuses on understanding salinity variability in ocean dynamics and thermodynamics and its connection to the global...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Yale University to conduct research on the interactions between the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Arctic in a warming climate. The research will utilize satellite-based observations and model experiments to investigate these climate dynamics. The grant has a period of performance through October 3, 2026. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract. Yale...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Cambridge Climate Institute, Inc. for a research project titled "Changes in the Subpolar North Atlantic: From the 1990s Salinification to the 2015 Cold Blob". The $499,593 project aims to examine the mechanisms responsible for recent fluctuations in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre circulation, including warming, salinification, and cooling events, and their potential impact on regional and global climate. The research will utilize ocean state estimates from the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) consortium to analyze temperature and salinity budgets and conduct modeling experiments. The goal is to improve understanding of the physical processes driving changes in the Atlantic basin and enhance climate prediction capabilities. This is a civilian agency grant with no set-aside designation, and the Cambridge Climate Institute, Inc. is the sole prime recipient.
