ESR has been awarded multiple prime contracts and subcontracts by NASA and the National Science Foundation for...
- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct an in-depth study of (sub)mesoscale ocean variability. The overarching goal is to better characterize surface density variability, particularly the role of salinity, across the submesoscale to mesoscale range. The $649,021 grant will leverage satellite observations, such as sea surface temperature and ocean color, along with in situ...
This federal contract award is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The George Washington University (GWU) for a research grant to improve the accuracy of measuring sea surface salinity using microwave remote sensing. The $470,691.19 grant will fund efforts to expand the dielectric constant measurements of seawater at salinities and temperatures relevant to open ocean, coastal, and cold water conditions. This will enhance the model function used to determine salinity from microwave emissions, which is critical for understanding ocean circulation and climate change impacts. The award does not have a set-aside designation. GWU, as the prime grantee, will conduct the research through its Student Accounts Office / Third Party Division. Accurate measurement of sea surface salinity is an important capability for NASA to support its ocean and climate science missions.
