- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,829 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to produce a new tool for accurate and reliable wind observations from coastal high-frequency (HF) radar. The overall objective is to advance the observation of coastal winds at the same resolutions as ocean currents, which will lead to a better understanding of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. The project aims to finalize...
- This $499,802 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to improve coastal community resilience to hurricane wind-related hazards and potential compounding hazards.
