The University of Rhode Island was awarded a three-year, $363,399 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research on wind turbulence over shoaling surface waves and their impact on air-sea fluxes off the coast of Point Judith, Rhode Island. As part of its mission to strengthen the national science enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the NSF Geosciences program is funding this research to enhance understanding of atmospheric and oceanic interactions. The University of Rhode Island will deliver research analyzing wind turbulence generated by breaking surface waves and how this affects air-sea exchange of heat, moisture and momentum through February 2024 at the project site in Point Judith.
