The project will include computational simulations of internal...
- 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 The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York a $652,118 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to evaluate and parameterize wind stress over ocean surface waves using integrated high-resolution imaging and numerical simulations. The key goals are to: (1) investigate the variability of wind stress and its partitioning over ocean...
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 spectra. Key research objectives include understanding how ocean surface boundary layer dynamics shape the NIW vertical wavenumber spectrum, determining the fate of low-mode NIWs, and evaluating how well linearized models can predict upper-ocean shear. The project will also support STEM education through PhD student and undergraduate summer intern involvement, as well as public outreach activities. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
