The National Science Foundation awarded a $535,065 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF SOLAR RADIATION PARTITIONING IN THE SEA ICE SYSTEM: IMPROVING CLIMATE MODELS USING OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MOSAIC FIELD CAMPAIGN." The grant period runs from January 15, 2022 through December 31, 2024.
Under this award, the University of Washington will conduct collaborative research to improve understanding of how solar radiation interacts with sea ice and is partitioned within the sea ice system. This will be done through analysis of observations collected during the MOSAIC field campaign, with the goal of strengthening climate models. A subaward of $535,065 is also provided to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to support its contributions to this research effort. The Polar Programs grant program aims to expand fundamental polar region knowledge through basic research best conducted in or uniquely possible in polar environments.
