This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,354,056 to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to jointly implement a new measurement technique called distributed acoustic sensing. This technique will generate high-resolution (10 m in space, minutes in time) images of ocean temperature and current velocity fields above a 34-km cable laid on the seafloor off the Azores islands. The goal is to...
This $807,744 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, with joint support from the Division of Research, Innovation, Synergies, and Education (RISE) and the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE), aims to enhance community access to high-fidelity ocean modeling and observational capabilities. The award will fund the development of software infrastructure to enable rapid configuration, deployment, and analysis of the Modular Ocean Model...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $197,506 to support collaborative research on rapid pilot observations of enhanced near-bottom equatorial turbulence in the deep Pacific Ocean. The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography, as awardee, will leverage an existing mooring array at 140°W to add instrumentation to moorings planned for 0.5°N and 3°N...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $250,743 to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for oceanographic instrumentation on research vessels R/V Atlantis and R/V Armstrong from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024. Specifically, the funding supports the acquisition of four Teledyne-RDI lowered acoustic Doppler current profilers costing $154,860 total; one Autosal salinometer and accessories from...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $199,831 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the final development and at-sea testing of a Hadal Water Column Profiler. The profiler, capable of reaching depths of 11 km, will allow for repeated vertical profiling of temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbulent mixing, current velocity, acoustic backscatter, and video. It also features an...
This $125,722 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop an effective ocean oxygen sampling strategy through 2026. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Texas at Austin will use existing oxygen observations and numerical models to calculate float populations and distributions needed to resolve oxygen changes over space and time. Models will also assess how historical and additional oxygen data can reduce uncertainty in understanding...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $184,999 project grant to the Consortium For Ocean Leadership, Inc. to support the Program Support Office for the Interagency Ocean Observation Committee under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant provides funding from October 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022 to operate the Program Support Office, which coordinates federal ocean observing activities across multiple agencies. The Geosciences program aims to expand understanding of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $909,097 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant, with a period of performance from July 2024 to June 2027, will fund research to quantify the volume, heat, and salt transports of the mid-depth and abyssal ocean circulations using advanced Lagrangian analysis techniques. The project aims to isolate the physical processes responsible...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $326,726 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a theoretical framework for abyssal ocean circulation. Over a three-year period from February 2022 through January 2025, the awardee will build a hierarchy of dynamical models exploring the interaction between bottom-intensified mixing over slopes and interior abyssal flows and stratification. The models...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award provides $773,810 to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) to develop an integrated optical sensing system for autonomous underwater vehicles. The project aims to enable adaptive sampling and characterization of marine particles, including living and detrital organic and inorganic material, to improve the understanding of biogeochemical processes in the ocean. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley will...
