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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences has awarded a $834,607 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct research on internal gravity wave dynamics and dissipation. The project aims to map the space-time geography of internal gravity wave dissipation and mixing, and the underlying dynamics, using high-resolution global and regional models, observations, and theory. It will also support two summer schools on ocean and...
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...
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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $332,306 in funding to Colorado State University from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
