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 global and regional IW models, observations, and theory. The research aims to develop improved representations of IW dissipation and mixing in global models without reliance on parameterization. The award also supports two summer schools on ocean and environmental science in Kenya, East Africa, complementing the West African summer schools previously conducted. No subcontracts are planned for this award, which spans from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
