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 $91,597.86 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Delaware. The purpose is to support a Ph.D. student's research on changes in global ocean salinity and related dynamical processes, with the goal of improving understanding of how the deep and abyssal oceans respond to changing surface forcing. The award will fund the student's work, including data analysis, travel to conferences, and enhanced training to become an independent researcher. This project aligns with an existing National Science Foundation-funded effort led by Dr. Xinfeng Liang at the University of South Florida to evaluate ocean reanalysis data for studying long-term climate changes. No set-aside designation was indicated for this award.
