- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop a tomographic observing network for monitoring global ocean changes by tracking long-range propagating internal tides. The technique, called Internal Tide Oceanic Tomography (ITOT), uses satellite altimetry data to measure changes in ocean heat content and associated steric height along internal tidal beams globally. The...
- 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 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Oregon State University (OSU) for $226,912.00 to continue studying ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, other data sources, and numerical modeling. The research builds on OSU's current work in this area and aims to produce highly accurate global tidal atlases, clarify the stationarity of internal tides, and better understand the role of tidal energy in...
- This federal contract award was granted to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $838,669.00 grant supports research to analyze satellite altimetric sea-surface height data and improve understanding and predictability of mid-latitude air-sea interaction on seasonal to interannual timescales. The work aims to refine the relationship between sea-surface height and upper ocean heat content, quantify drivers of...
- This is a $249,013.45 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan for a research project titled "MODELING INTERNAL WAVE SIGNALS AND THEIR PREDICTABILITY FOR SWOT". The objective is to characterize the global internal tide and internal wave fields, and their predictability, to improve the accuracy of modeled tides and internal tides for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The research will...
- This is a $590,830.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the three-dimensional distribution of mesoscale kinetic energy in the global ocean. The research aims to integrate satellite altimetric data with subsurface observations from the Argo float array to better understand ocean circulation and climate impacts. There is no set-aside designation for this contract. As a leading...
- This is a $3,942,381.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to test the hypothesis that submesoscale ocean dynamics contribute to vertical exchange of climate and biological variables in the upper ocean. The grant has a period of performance from July 1, 2019 to June 1, 2026. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. This award is part of UW's broader federal contracting and grant-receiving...
- This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant to the University of Washington (UW) is for the development of new remote sensing analysis techniques to produce multi-year datasets and analyses of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagettes. The goal is to investigate atmospheric adjustment to varying ocean and atmospheric conditions, with a specific focus on air-sea flux modifications associated with organized large eddies and sub-mesoscale sea surface temperature...
- 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 is a $617,238.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) to continue studying ocean surface and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, other data types, and numerical modeling. The award builds on OSU's previous Oceanic and Solid Earth Geophysics program investigations. The work aims to produce highly accurate tidal atlases that can be used to compute altimeter tide corrections for both barotropic and...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) for a project titled "Global Internal Tides from Satellite Altimetry: Next-Generation Internal Tide Model and Internal Tide Oceanic Tomography". The award, valued at $528,736.35, will be used to construct a next-generation model of internal tides using over 20 years of multi-satellite altimeter data, and to develop a technique called "Internal Tide Oceanic Tomography" that can infer ocean warming by measuring changes in internal tide travel times. The award does not have a set-aside designation. UW is the prime recipient, and there are no major subcontractors mentioned. This project supports NASA's operational use of satellite altimetry to study ocean dynamics and climate change.
