This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $334,786 to the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. The funding supports development of a new theoretical framework called the Explicit, Stochastic, Coordinate-Independent framework to improve eddy parameterizations in numerical models. Key products include symbolic algebra software to implement parameterizations across model coordinate systems and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $353,715 will fund a collaborative research project to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface, as driven by waves and wind. The project will utilize a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and advanced numerical simulations (large-eddy simulations) to test the hypothesis that coupling between waves and wind-driven currents is necessary to...
This $632,314 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to better understand the physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes controlling carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The grantee, the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will combine observational data from autonomous platforms, moorings, and satellites with high-resolution ocean circulation and biogeochemistry...
Northwest Research Associates, Inc., dba Nwra, was awarded a $350,109 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on July 15, 2021 to complete the project by June 30, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through the expansion of fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated Earth system.

This $708,182 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Colorado State University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of the causal pathways governing the interocean exchange between the Indian, South Atlantic, and Southern Oceans south of Africa. The project will utilize state-of-the-art nonlinear data assimilation, ocean modeling, observational datasets, and causal discovery...
This $218,487 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project titled "Collaborative Research: Detached Eddy Simulation of Nearshore Langmuir Circulation." The project aims to investigate the structure and intensity of Langmuir turbulence and its impact on cross-shore scalar transport in shallow coastal shelf environments, spanning the surf zone to the inner shelf. The research will utilize...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth will receive $396,233 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025 to conduct collaborative research on global estimates of energy pathways and stirring by internal waves and vortical modes. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute will study the global distribution of two key ocean properties related to wind-driven energy - transmissivity (the fraction of wind energy that propagates into the ocean interior) and mixing efficiency (the portion of energy that goes into mixing versus dissipation). The $242,731 award, funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will leverage a high-resolution numerical model to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $229,234 project grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences (47.050) federal grant program. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2023 will support research to conduct a global census of submesoscale ocean energetics using in-situ drifter observations and high-resolution ocean modeling. Key products include quantifying global submesoscale kinetic energy content and transfers across spatial scales to provide the first observational...
