- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
- This $598,349 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support fundamental research to determine how coupled air-sea interactions modify the lifecycle of near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean, from generation at the surface to dissipation in the interior. The research will use high-resolution coupled ocean-atmosphere models and recent observations to improve understanding of the relevant physical mechanisms and the impact on ocean...
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 reliably represent the deepening of the ocean's surface mixed layer. The research findings could potentially improve the accuracy of Earth system models in representing the ocean surface boundary layer. The award will support four principal investigators, one postdoctoral scholar, and one graduate student, and will not involve any sub-awards. The project period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
