This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant Award, provided under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will investigate the decay mechanisms of the internal tide across the equatorial Pacific Ocean and quantify how the internal tide's vertical mixing and advection impact the regional heat budget. The $334,378 award, effective May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2028, will leverage high-resolution numerical ocean simulations to examine internal tide dynamics and their effects on the heat...
This three-year, $482,834 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support analysis of Lagrangian observations from vertically profiling floats to investigate levels of internal waves and their role in transforming water properties through vertical mixing along the Pacific-to-Indian Ocean throughflow pathway. Specifically, the award recipient, the University of Washington Office of Sponsored Programs, will utilize existing and new float...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will investigate the decay mechanisms of the internal tide across the equatorial Pacific and quantify its impact on the regional heat budget. The $498,929 award will fund a research project at the University of Southern Mississippi from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028. The project will use high-resolution numerical ocean simulations to examine the dynamics of internal tides in the equatorial...
Northwest Research Associates, Inc., dba Nwra, was awarded a $700,510 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on March 1, 2021, with a completion date of February 28, 2025.

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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award for $1,195,922 will support the University of Washington's research project, "Exploration of Anisotropy and Inhomogeneity of Ocean Boundary Layer Turbulence." The project aims to provide the first direct observational study of the anisotropy and inhomogeneity of ocean surface boundary layer turbulence using custom-built acoustic instruments that drift with the water flow. The observations...
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...
