Specifically, the award will fund research using existing HF radar measurements paired...
- This Project Grant award of $593,385.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate ocean processes within the Northwest Atlantic Slope Sea and how they impact hydrographic properties and variability on the Northeast U.S. continental shelf and slope. The research, conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will synthesize in-situ observations and global ocean model outputs to assess the Slope Sea's response to changes in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will provide $738,922 from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 to study surfzone vorticity and circulation patterns in the shallow water of the surf zone. The project will use high-resolution sensor data from prior field studies to test hypotheses about how factors like seafloor bathymetry, wave directionality, and strong alongshore currents influence the generation and spatial scales...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a $807,034 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant is supporting research titled "Collaborative Research: Towards a More Comprehensive Understanding of Eulerian and Lagrangian Transport of Active and Passive Tracers in the Ocean" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen the...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $453,110 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research examining the Zonal Overturning Circulation through August 31, 2024. Funding will allow Woods Hole to conduct basic research investigating ocean circulation patterns and dynamics as part of efforts to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $568,531 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study recirculating flows and eddies in the nearshore surf zone. The 3-year grant under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will use mathematical models, available measurements, and artificial intelligence to explore three hypotheses related to surfzone eddy dynamics and their connection to wave properties, energy dissipation, and exchange...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $305,576.00 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. This research is funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The project will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model in comparison with...
This $803,060 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative oceanographic research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to examine the role of small-scale eddies and horizontal stirring across the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight region. The research will deploy an array of high-frequency radar systems to provide high-resolution surface current observations over a 3-year period. These datasets will be integrated with other in-situ and satellite observations to improve understanding of how physical oceanographic processes impact the exchange of nutrients and larvae across the continental shelf. The project will also engage K-12 students in STEM education using the surface current data and incorporate the research methods and findings into undergraduate and postgraduate training. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of August 15, 2025 and a final completion date of July 31, 2029.
