The project aims to identify and systematically measure coastal processes and features that alter nearshore air-sea momentum exchange, leveraging an extensive data set collected at the Army Field Research Facility...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $380,375.00 to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to study turbulence and sea spray aerosol transport in the marine atmospheric boundary layer of coastal regions. The 3-year project will make field observations using a scanning Doppler lidar and existing meteorological/oceanographic data to quantify limitations in current modeling techniques and identify interactions between waves...
- 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 $298,225 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project at Southern Methodist University (SMU) to develop advanced AI-powered modeling capabilities for examining small-scale turbulence within the coupled air-sea boundary layers. The research aims to improve understanding of how surface waves and their resulting turbulent processes regulate the exchanges of mass, momentum, and energy between the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a 3-year, $575,150 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the impacts of ocean surface currents and waves on atmospheric boundary layer processes over the Gulf Stream. The research aims to determine how coupling of winds, currents, and waves modifies the budgets of heat, moisture, and momentum, as well as the extent to which vertical transport within the atmospheric boundary layer...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) for $129,932 supports research to better understand the role of surface wave direction and wave breaking in modulating air-sea interaction and ocean transport processes. The project will use theoretical, numerical, laboratory, and observational techniques to advance the understanding of the geometry, kinematics, dynamics, and statistics of ocean surface waves and wave breaking. High-resolution field...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences program provides $181,787 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study the role of wind and waves in mixing the upper ocean. The 3-year project, effective July 1, 2024, will carry out simulations with laboratory experiments and computer models to test the hypothesis that coupling currents and waves is necessary to reliably represent the deepening of the ocean surface layer. The research aims...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $323,315 to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to develop a sea-state-dependent numerical algorithm for accurately estimating wind stress over ocean surface waves. The interdisciplinary research team, which includes experts in physical oceanography, air-sea interactions, and atmospheric sciences, will leverage advanced infrared imaging and high-resolution modeling techniques to investigate the variability of wind stress and its partitioning over a range of wind-wave regimes. The goal is to create a dynamic reduced-order model that can be used in operational ocean, atmosphere, and surface wave models, which currently rely on simplified bulk parameterizations. The project is expected to generate valuable knowledge and data that will be incorporated into the educational programs at UTD and Columbia University, providing interdisciplinary training to graduate students and an early career scientist.
