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...
This is a $540,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) to improve the data products from the ICESat-2 satellite mission, which measures ocean particulates. The award has an ultimate completion date of April 25, 2027. OSU, a public land-grant university, has extensive expertise in oceanographic research and environmental monitoring, and frequently partners with federal agencies like NASA, NOAA, and the Department of the...
This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU) is for the development of barotropic and baroclinic tide models to support the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The $256,930 grant will enable OSU to provide guidance and research on predicting deep ocean internal tides, which could impact the SWOT mission's ability to map submesoscale ocean variability. The work will prepare for handling future SWOT measurements and develop algorithms for computing tidal corrections....
This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) for a total ceiling value of $387,205.00. The research project aims to evaluate the relevance of "Stern-Ekman pumping" - the wind-driven vertical velocity within mesoscale ocean eddies - by analyzing output from high-resolution ocean circulation models. This work will compare the model results to satellite data composites to determine the geographic and...
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 deep ocean mixing. The grant will also support OSU's efforts to assist the Ocean Surface Topography Science Team (OSTST) in calibrating and validating data from the new Jason-3 altimetry mission, as well as prepare for upcoming high-resolution altimetry from Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 and SWOT. No set-aside designation is noted. This grant is part of NASA's broader program on studies of ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimetry.
