The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $878,706 on July 15, 2026, to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to conduct fundamental research investigating the "Cold Fresh Pulse," an extreme hydrographic anomaly that affected the Northwest Atlantic shelf and slope region in 2024. The research deliverables include scientific analysis and reporting on the spatiotemporal structure, dynamical drivers, and predictability of this cold, fresh water event through integrated observational analysis, satellite remote sensing data interpretation, and high-resolution regional ocean modeling. Key research products will address shelf-slope exchange mechanisms, upstream freshwater advection processes, and the relative contributions of the Gulf Stream and Labrador Current systems to the event's formation and propagation. This project, funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a completion date of June 30, 2029, will deliver a benchmark case study examining extreme hydrographic events in western boundary marginal seas and their coupling with basin-scale oceanographic processes. The research will produce scientific outputs including mechanistic understanding of shelf-slope interactions, improved predictability assessments for regional circulation and ecosystem conditions, and diagnostic analyses disentangling competing oceanographic drivers of the observed salinity and temperature anomalies. No subawarded work is planned for this grant.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
