The University of California, San Diego received a two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research to support research on submesoscale currents in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. The grant is part of ONR's Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), which aims to stimulate basic and applied research with potential to improve naval operations.
Specifically, UC San Diego will conduct applied research on vertical transport processes in the presence of surface interactions to better understand submesoscale currents in the region. The findings will provide insight with potential application to naval operations in the Mediterranean. Performance will take place in California through August 2023. As the prime awardee, UC San Diego will oversee research activities, and the State of California will provide administrative support as a sub-awardee.
