The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $644,088 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array as part of the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP). The key objectives of this 2-year project are to: (1) quantify the seasonal and interannual variability of the West Greenland boundary current system, (2) document changes in mesoscale processes and their impacts on shelf-basin exchange, (3) characterize the atmospheric circulation and storm climate driving wind-driven exchange, and (4) quantify the transport, seasonality, and mesoscale processes of the West Greenland coastal current. This research aims to improve understanding of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
