Project Grant 2219987
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences will fund research investigating ocean stratification changes with global warming by long-range internal tides. The $615,534 award to the University of Washington will support the development of techniques to accurately observe low-mode internal tides using satellite altimetry. The research aims to improve understanding of internal tide activities and develop a new method for monitoring ocean...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to map the spatial and temporal patterns of internal gravity wave (IW) dissipation and mixing using global observations, numerical simulations, and theory. The $884,427 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will employ global and regional IW models, as well as observational data from sources like Argo floats 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 (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $260,172 Project Grant to The University of Southern Mississippi for the collaborative research project "PROBING INTERNAL GRAVITY WAVE DYNAMICS AND DISSIPATION USING GLOBAL OBSERVATIONS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS." This project under the NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will map the space-time geography of internal gravity wave (IW) dissipation and mixing, and the underlying dynamics, using high-resolution...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $311,449 Project Grant to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (dba Nwra) to study the global distribution of two key ocean properties related to wind-driven internal wave energy. The award will fund a high-resolution, process-based numerical modeling effort to determine the mechanisms associated with "transmissivity" (the fraction of wind-induced energy that propagates into the ocean...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will investigate the decay mechanisms of the internal tide across the equatorial Pacific and quantify the impact of associated vertical mixing and advection on the regional heat budget. The $498,929 award to the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) supports high-resolution numerical simulations of the ocean to examine internal tides and their interactions with ocean dynamics in the equatorial...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of Washington received a $340,730 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (Geosciences Program, CFDA 47.050) awarded July 15, 2025, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028. This collaborative research initiative investigates how obliquely incident shoaling internal bores drive along-shelf currents on the inner continental shelf. The project will deliver scientific insights through three integrated...
- The University of Washington will receive $740,633 in funding from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the project "WAVES, RAIN, AND SURFACE ROUGHNESS AT OCEAN STATION PAPA" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. Under this three-year Project Grant, the University of Washington will collect and analyze oceanographic data related to waves, rainfall, and sea surface roughness conditions at...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $124,226 to the University of Washington under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 1, 2025, for a collaborative research project examining potential energy generation and release in oceanic circulation. The project, which extends through August 31, 2028, delivers fundamental scientific research outputs investigating how mesoscale eddies (200-500 kilometer features) generate and...
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 deployment data to describe internal tide amplitude and radiation patterns in the Philippine and Indonesian Seas. This work will help constrain parameters for internal tide parameterizations and evaluate along-path water mass transformation rates. The recipient will also establish a publicly available database for electromagnetic velocity profiler data and furnish project materials for undergraduate interns. The products and research supported by this award aim to advance understanding of mixing processes that influence global thermohaline circulation and sea surface conditions in this strategically important region.
