This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $438,368 to Brown University to create a new theoretical framework for improving eddy parameterizations in numerical models from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The framework constitutes principles linking physical meaning to parameterization form, allowing for cross-evaluation of existing or proposed parameterizations from first principles....
This $669,091 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to estimate global eddy-driven transport using in situ Lagrangian observations. The Planetary Science Institute will use existing particle-based methods and compare them with coherent structure methods to quantitatively assess the impact of long-lived ocean structures on fluid transport. Theiss Research will assist in this effort through intercomparisons of...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida State University (FSU) in the amount of $361,707 with a project period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. This collaborative research project aims to investigate the impact of irregular small-scale topography on large-scale oceanic circulation patterns. The project will utilize a combination of analytical theories, high-resolution simulations,...

This $471,155 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to improve understanding of convective processes in the tropics across scales. The research aims to shed light on the interactions between small-scale details (e.g., individual thunderstorms) and large-scale patterns (e.g., monsoons) of tropical rainfall, which is important for enhancing weather...
This $424,952 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the linkages between tropical deep convection, planetary-scale stationary waves, and extratropical storm track activity. The primary objectives are to demonstrate these linkages, identify the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess how well climate and subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction models capture these processes. The research will be conducted by...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $568,415 supports research into submesoscale ocean processes through May 2025. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will advance understanding of exchange between the well-mixed surface layer and stratified interior of the ocean at horizontal length scales of hundreds to thousands of meters. Major activities include Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations to quantify the impact of incorporating entrainment fluxes into a...
