This $339,994 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research on internal gravity waves in the ocean. The project, led by New York University (NYU), aims to advance the fundamental theoretical understanding of broadband wave turbulence and its impact on global-scale ocean and atmospheric dynamics. Key focus areas include investigating the dynamics of dual cascades in wave turbulence, exploring the potential for upscale energy transfer in strongly directional wave turbulence, and comparing Lagrangian and Eulerian wave spectra. The project will also provide opportunities for student integration into the research activities. This award reflects NSF's mission to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of September 1, 2024 and a completion date of August 31, 2027.
