- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $243,224 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) on August 15, 2025. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to examine the role of sub-mesoscale eddies and horizontal stirring in exchanging nutrients, larvae, and water masses across the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight region. The project will install a coastal high-frequency radar array to provide...
- 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...
- 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 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $451,779 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to determine how much fresh, low-salinity water is carried from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic and how this transport may vary as the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets melt. To achieve this, the award will fund the deployment of an...
- This two-year, $339,657 National Science Foundation project grant will support the analysis of thirty years of surface current mapping data from high-frequency radar along the U.S. West Coast. The University of California Santa Cruz will acquire historical radar datasets from multiple sources, conduct quality control procedures, and pair the current data with high-resolution wind field analyses from the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System atmospheric circulation model. The...
- This $276,182 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop a new tool for accurately observing coastal winds using high-frequency (HF) radar. The overall objective is to produce reliable wind observations at the same resolutions as ocean currents, advancing the understanding of coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics. The funded research will finalize a "tomographic" approach to wind extraction from HF radar signals, which...
- This $296,858 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the dynamics of near-surface ocean velocity structures through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of Maine will collaborate with other institutions to elucidate upper-ocean hydrodynamics using observational data, numerical modeling, and fieldwork. Specifically, the grantee will pair existing high-frequency radar measurements with upward-looking current profilers to investigate the influence of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to investigate the long-term variability of the Florida Current, a critical component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The $167,662 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will enable researchers at Rutgers, The State University to utilize previously collected coral records to reconstruct the Florida...
