- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to analyze the relationship between rainfall patterns and upper-ocean salinity structure in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. The $447,058.73 research project will develop unified datasets of precipitation, salinity, and ocean turbulence measurements collected during the SPURS-2 field campaign. This work aims to quantify the physical processes that create...
- This federal contract award, valued at $326,531.49, was granted to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on global maps of sea surface salinity using satellite L-band microwave radiometry. The award, which has an ultimate completion date of April 8, 2024, is categorized as a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is a prominent research institution that has...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to the University of Washington to investigate ocean surface boundary layer processes controlling sea surface salinity in the high-precipitation regime of an Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in the North Pacific. The award, valued at $687,224.21, will fund the deployment of two custom-designed autonomous Lagrangian floats to observe temperature, salinity, and upper-ocean shear from 200 meters to the surface over the course of a year. The data...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $181,455.48 grant for research to the University of Washington to investigate the relationship between rain, wind, and near-surface salinity stratification. This research is motivated by the need to better understand how the spatial and temporal variability of rain and wind affects the formation, strength, and extent of salinity stratification in the upper ocean. The proposed work aims to quantify the...
- 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 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 to the University of Washington (UW) is for a research project focused on measuring upper ocean community structure, sinking cells, aggregates and fecal pellets, physical export, and migrating zooplankton. The $3,274,262 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center will implement a multi-platform, multi-scale, multi-month autonomous array at two export sites. The goal is to complement ship-based programs by providing a...
