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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $164,729 two-year Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on March 1, 2021. The grant supports collaborative research investigating the relationship between ocean surface gravity-capillary waves, surface-layer hydrodynamics, and air-sea momentum flux. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
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...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $844,671 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton University to conduct research titled "A DIRECT MODELING APPROACH TO MOMENTUM, HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGE AT THE OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE INTERFACE AT HIGH WIND SPEED" from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The research aims to develop a computational framework for modeling the coupled air-water flows and exchange of momentum, heat, and mass at...
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...
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....
