The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $702,603 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC). The grant, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund research to provide a comprehensive description of large-scale deep cycle turbulence (DCT) variation in the equatorial oceans and quantify its influences on sea surface temperature and upper ocean heat transport. The project will involve integrated analysis of observational data and global ocean general circulation model simulations, with the goal of advancing understanding of upper ocean mixing processes and improving their representation in climate models. TAMU-CC, a Hispanic-Serving and Minority-Serving Institution, plans to issue subawards as part of this grant.
