This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The $567,136 award, effective June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will be provided to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct theoretical analyses, observational data studies, and computer simulations to assess the impact of these interactions on ocean mixing and circulation patterns, especially in key regions like the Gulf Stream, East Greenland Current, and Denmark Strait Overflow. The research will involve one postdoctoral scholar, one graduate student, and one undergraduate student, and will contribute to open-source software and educational outreach as broader impacts. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
