This federal contract award provides a $686,144.64 grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to improve ocean salinity satellite products and study the interaction between salinity and ocean circulation. The proposed research aims to enhance the accuracy of mesoscale satellite sea surface salinity (SSS) maps, detect advection of salinity anomalies, explain the seasonal salinity cycle in the Southern Ocean, and synthesize data from multiple NASA satellite missions. This grant aligns with the...
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 $556,146 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Earth and Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute. The three-year study aims to improve the existing sea surface salinity (SSS) satellite data validation framework beyond the previous Aquarius mission, in order to support NASA's ongoing ocean salinity science program. The grant will enable ESR to enhance the Aquarius Validation Data System (AVDS) to a more versatile Salinity...
This is a $1,016,880.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa for a research project titled "Multi-Scale Interactions in Ocean Satellite and in situ Observations and Model Outputs: Response of". The primary objectives are to study the interactions between small and large spatial scales in ocean circulation, as well as the variability of major ocean currents like the Kuroshio Extension and Gulf Stream. UH will...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) received a $371,652.27 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to facilitate the collection of a broad variety of ocean data and samples by citizen scientists. The project aims to advance the understanding of physical, biological, and biogeochemical processes in the marine environment and complement NASA's Earth-observing system. Key activities include training and equipping citizen scientists to conduct visual surveys, collect...
This is a one-year, $128,422 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the nonprofit institute Earth and Space Research (ESR). The goal of the study is to validate and extend the continuity of sea surface salinity (SSS) data from the recently completed Aquarius mission to the ongoing Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. ESR has extensive experience analyzing Aquarius SSS data and will repeat similar analyses to document comparable salinity...
This $442,503.36 grant award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study near-surface salinity stratification. The research aims to investigate the processes controlling the generation and evolution of freshwater lenses in the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which create discrepancies between satellite-derived sea surface salinity data and in-situ measurements. ESR will combine...
This is a $572,358.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, to investigate interannual variability in freshwater transport along the northwest Atlantic shelf using satellite salinity data. The grant supports a collaborative effort between UNH, the University of Maryland, and the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) to evaluate the use of...
This is a $383,861.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to conduct research on transient quasi-zonal jets in the ocean and their impact on the Earth's climate system. The grant, which has a performance period ending on August 24, 2022, is part of NASA's Ocean Surface Topography Science Team program and aims to provide a better understanding of mesoscale variability in the ocean and its role in shaping the general...
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...
