Through analyses of existing...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $447,531 project grant to the University of South Florida (USF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Detached Eddy Simulation of Nearshore Langmuir Circulation," aims to numerically investigate the structure and intensity of Langmuir turbulence and its impact on cross-shore scalar transport in shallow coastal shelf environments. The research will utilize turbulent eddy-resolving...
- This $339,994 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to advance the fundamental theoretical understanding of wave turbulence in the atmosphere and oceans. The award to New York University (NYU) will fund a multi-pronged effort combining theory and numerical modeling in three key areas: 1) investigating how broadband wave spectra can emerge from monochromatic wave sources through interactions with mean...
- 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) 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...
- The University of Rhode Island was awarded a three-year, $363,399 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research on wind turbulence over shoaling surface waves and their impact on air-sea fluxes off the coast of Point Judith, Rhode Island. As part of its mission to strengthen the national science enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the NSF Geosciences...
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 award, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, will fund four principal investigators, one postdoctoral scholar, and one graduate student. The project aims to advance the understanding of wind-driven and wave-driven near-surface turbulence and assess the reliability of large-eddy simulations in representing turbulent mixing beneath surface waves. The broader impacts include potentially improving the accuracy of Earth-system numerical simulations and the development of educational materials to be used at the lead institution, the University of Rhode Island.
