The National Science Foundation awarded a $229,234 project grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences (47.050) federal grant program. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2023 will support research to conduct a global census of submesoscale ocean energetics using in-situ drifter observations and high-resolution ocean modeling. Key products include quantifying global submesoscale kinetic energy content and transfers across spatial scales to provide the first observational...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York a $652,118 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to evaluate and parameterize wind stress over ocean surface waves using integrated high-resolution imaging and numerical simulations. The key goals are to: (1) investigate the variability of wind stress and its partitioning over ocean...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $185,519 to The Trustees of Columbia University for collaborative research probing the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean with conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. The research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This $313,825 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into submesoscale instabilities and energy cascades in seamount wakes. The University of Maryland, College Park will use large eddy simulations and Reynolds-averaged modeling to investigate how submesoscale processes impact dissipation, mixing, and the representation of seamount energetics in climate models. Specifically, the awardee will examine the forward energy...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth will receive $396,233 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025 to conduct collaborative research on global estimates of energy pathways and stirring by internal waves and vortical modes. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
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...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, was awarded a $374,717 project grant by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant, titled "NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research: Role of the Overturning Circulation in Carbon Accumulation (ROCCA)," aims to utilize long-term observations across the North Atlantic basin to quantify carbon uptake, carbon transport, and their...
