The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a 3-year, $575,150 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the impacts of ocean surface currents and waves on atmospheric boundary layer processes over the Gulf Stream. The research aims to determine how coupling of winds, currents, and waves modifies the budgets of heat, moisture, and momentum, as well as the extent to which vertical transport within the atmospheric boundary layer...
This $302,035 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund an observational study at Texas A&M University to quantify the impact of nearshore processes on air-sea momentum transfer. The project aims to identify and systematically measure coastal processes and features that alter nearshore air-sea momentum exchange, leveraging an extensive data set collected at the Army Field Research Facility...
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 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...
