This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program grant awarded to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) aims to advance the understanding of air-sea interactions and wind stress over ocean waves. The $302,091 project, titled "Collaborative Research: Sea-State-Dependent Drag Parameterization Through Experiments and Data-Driven Modeling," runs from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. The research integrates high-resolution laboratory measurements with numerical simulations to develop an improved data-driven model for sea-surface drag under varying wind-wave conditions. The project objectives include: (1) characterizing skin friction modulations induced by surface waves, (2) evaluating pressure drag using a digital twin model, and (3) developing a sea-state-dependent parameterization for total surface wind stress. The findings will be incorporated into educational materials for an air-sea interaction workshop, providing broader impacts beyond the scientific community.
