- This $313,825 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into submesoscale instabilities and energy cascades in seamount wakes. The University of Maryland, College Park will use large eddy simulations and Reynolds-averaged modeling to investigate how submesoscale processes impact dissipation, mixing, and the representation of seamount energetics in climate models. Specifically, the awardee will examine the forward energy...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $913,292 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Washington (UW) to study the dynamics and impact of submesoscale density fronts in the global ocean. The 5-year research project will use existing shipboard and satellite data to investigate the global patterns of submesoscale variability and the role of these small, energetic ocean fronts in heat and property exchange, energy transfer, and biogeochemical processes....
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $568,415 supports research into submesoscale ocean processes through May 2025. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will advance understanding of exchange between the well-mixed surface layer and stratified interior of the ocean at horizontal length scales of hundreds to thousands of meters. Major activities include Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations to quantify the impact of incorporating entrainment fluxes into a...
- 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...
