Near-inertial wave - mesoscale - submesoscale interactions in the north atlantic subpolar gyre

The University of California, Los Angeles received a two-year, $271,259 Project Grant from the Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research to support research titled "NEAR-INERTIAL WAVE - MESOSCALE - SUBMESOSCALE INTERACTIONS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC SUBPOLAR GYRE" under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). This program aims to stimulate basic and applied research at educational institutions that has the potential to improve naval operations and train future researchers. Through this award ending November 2023, UCLA will conduct research on interactions between ocean waves and currents at different scales in the North Atlantic to advance understanding of mesoscale and submesoscale ocean dynamics relevant to naval operations. As the prime awardee, UCLA will perform the research and coordinate with the California State Controller's Office, which is listed as UCLA's parent organization in the grant records.
