This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute will study the global distribution of two key ocean properties related to wind-driven energy - transmissivity (the fraction of wind energy that propagates into the ocean interior) and mixing efficiency (the portion of energy that goes into mixing versus dissipation). The $242,731 award, funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will leverage a high-resolution numerical model to...

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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding research to examine the effects of surface wave direction and wave breaking on wave-induced transport and air-sea interaction. The $129,932 award to the University of Rhode Island supports theoretical, numerical, laboratory, and observational studies to advance the understanding of ocean surface wave geometry, kinematics, dynamics, and statistics, and their role in the physical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York a $652,118 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to evaluate and parameterize wind stress over ocean surface waves using integrated high-resolution imaging and numerical simulations. The key goals are to: (1) investigate the variability of wind stress and its partitioning over ocean...
