This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant of $325,783 awarded to the University of Washington will develop a new model for the upper ocean boundary layer (OSBL) that includes both local and non-local turbulence transports. The project will also create a database of OSBL turbulence properties from Lagrangian float data to tune and validate the new model, as well as serve as a reference for other OSBL modeling efforts. The goal is to significantly...
The University of Washington will receive $296,508 under a two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant will support research into the vertical transport of buoyant, non-spherical particles in the wind-mixed ocean surface boundary layer from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. This work falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,895 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research investigating variability in air-sea carbon dioxide exchange in the Gulf Stream region.
