The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) has received a $307,226.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study recirculating flows at the nearshore zone where waves break, the surf zone. The project will use mathematical models and existing measurements to explore three hypotheses: (A) that the recirculations can be identified from shore-based images, (B) that the recirculating...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will provide $738,922 from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 to study surfzone vorticity and circulation patterns in the shallow water of the surf zone. The project will use high-resolution sensor data from prior field studies to test hypotheses about how factors like seafloor bathymetry, wave directionality, and strong alongshore currents influence the generation and spatial scales...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $906,682 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research related to wave- and wind-driven flows near beaches. The three-year award, issued on March 15, 2021 with a completion date of February 29, 2024, will support the Institution's work examining fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of integrated earth system processes through basic research of atmospheric, earth, and...
This $654,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research on swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $429,311 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on March 1, 2024 to investigate the factors that generate and amplify coastal flooding related to high tides and storm surge in the United States. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Analysis of publicly available data, simplified ocean dynamics modeling, and evaluation of results from a global ocean community model...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,725 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to deploy and operate two current and pressure recording inverted echo sounders (CPIES) over the continental slope north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The goal is to study the multi-scale processes associated with the Gulf Stream's separation from the continental margin, complementing data from the adjacent Pioneer Array ocean...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $237,524 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct collaborative research on morphodynamic simulations of coastal storms and overwash to characterize back-barrier lake stratigraphies. The research funded under this award will strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under the National Science...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is for a two-year research project investigating the role of wave and wave breaking directionality in modulating wave-induced drift at the ocean surface. The $129,932 grant, awarded to the University of Rhode Island (URI), aims to advance understanding of the geometry, kinematics, dynamics, and statistics of ocean surface waves and wave breaking, and their impact on air-sea...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $259,253 Project Grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to investigate the impacts of sea breeze and steep surface gravity waves on nearshore air-sea fluxes. The overarching goal is to advance understanding of how ocean surface waves mediate the exchange of momentum and heat between the atmosphere and ocean, especially over spatial and temporal scales that are currently under-resolved by observations and models....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $468,282 in funding to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. The award supports research into elucidating the processes that influence near-surface velocity structure in the coastal ocean through observations, numerical modeling, and comparisons to model results. Specifically, the award will fund research using existing HF radar measurements paired...
