- This $650,637 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the University of California, San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to quantify and predict wind-driven internal wave shear in the ocean. The research aims to synthesize existing observations, theory, and models to create a global prediction system for near-inertial waves (NIWs), which are dominant in the ocean's kinetic energy and vertical shear...
- 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...
- 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), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $311,449 Project Grant to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (dba Nwra) to study the global distribution of two key ocean properties related to wind-driven internal wave energy. The award will fund a high-resolution, process-based numerical modeling effort to determine the mechanisms associated with "transmissivity" (the fraction of wind-induced energy that propagates into the ocean...
- This $598,349 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support fundamental research to determine how coupled air-sea interactions modify the lifecycle of near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean, from generation at the surface to dissipation in the interior. The research will use high-resolution coupled ocean-atmosphere models and recent observations to improve understanding of the relevant physical mechanisms and the impact on ocean...
- The University of Minnesota will receive $446,973 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct experimental and numerical studies of bubble entrainment by breaking waves from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of the physical processes controlling bubble generation and dispersal in ocean waves and their dependence on factors like wave scale, slope, wind forcing, and salinity. Researchers will leverage...
- 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...
