The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $453,861 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to support research titled "Turbulence in the Long-Lived, Very Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer." The award period is from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The grant funds research aimed at better understanding turbulence under stable atmospheric conditions, such as those frequently observed at night or during cold seasons, and developing reliable...
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 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) Geosciences program Project Grant award, with a total funding of $438,734, supports a collaborative research effort to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface caused by waves and wind. The research will be conducted through a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and state-of-the-art numerical simulations, with the goal of improving the representation of the ocean surface boundary layer in Earth-system models....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $325,783 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington (UW) for a 3-year collaborative research project titled "Nonlocal Second Moment Upper Ocean Boundary Layer Modeling". The project aims to develop a new model for the upper ocean boundary layer (OSBL) that includes both local and non-local turbulent transport processes, and to compile a database of OSBL turbulence properties from Lagrangian...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $126,139 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to advance research on measuring atmospheric turbulence and wind behavior using commercial off-the-shelf multi-rotor drone technology. The 12-month project, which runs from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2024, aims to investigate the accuracy of drone-based turbulence measurements and how accuracy varies with drone size and weight. The work will be...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award for $1,195,922 will support the University of Washington's research project, "Exploration of Anisotropy and Inhomogeneity of Ocean Boundary Layer Turbulence." The project aims to provide the first direct observational study of the anisotropy and inhomogeneity of ocean surface boundary layer turbulence using custom-built acoustic instruments that drift with the water flow. The observations...
The University of Washington was awarded a three-year, $137,893 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the experimental and numerical study of bed shear stress and turbulent boundary layer structure induced by breaking-wave-generated vortices. The research funded through this award will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $236,421 EAGER grant to the University of Utah to develop new approaches for representing land-atmosphere interactions in numerical weather prediction and climate models. The goal is to generalize the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) to better account for turbulence anisotropy and facilitate its application across diverse surface configurations, such as mountainous terrain and forests. This research aims to improve the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $562,097 to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. to advance understanding of atmospheric energetics and the vertical variation of energy dissipation near the surface. Specifically, the awardee will conduct field experiments to directly observe non-hydrostatic energy transfer and dissipation processes. They will also investigate hydrostatic...
