This Project Grant award of $340,730.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to examine how the dissipation of shoaling internal bores on the inner continental shelf drives along-shelf currents. The project will utilize a combination of idealized modeling, analysis of field observations, and realistic circulation modeling to characterize this along-shelf flow and its dependence on factors like ambient stratification, topography, and...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $260,172 Project Grant to The University of Southern Mississippi for the collaborative research project "PROBING INTERNAL GRAVITY WAVE DYNAMICS AND DISSIPATION USING GLOBAL OBSERVATIONS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS." This project under the NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will map the space-time geography of internal gravity wave (IW) dissipation and mixing, and the underlying dynamics, using high-resolution...
This $654,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research on swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $468,282 in funding to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. The award supports research into elucidating the processes that influence near-surface velocity structure in the coastal ocean through observations, numerical modeling, and comparisons to model results. Specifically, the award will fund research using existing HF radar measurements paired...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth will receive $396,233 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025 to conduct collaborative research on global estimates of energy pathways and stirring by internal waves and vortical modes. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
