The Office of Naval Research Marine Meteorology and Space program sponsors innovative Basic and Applied Research to eligible institutions globally, including academia, government, and industry. While we collaborate on environmental earth science from the seafloor through solar characterization, our current specialty thrust areas include atmospheric prediction and processes, atmospheric effects, air-sea interaction, atmospheric boundary layer processes, satellite remote sensing, and ionospheric analysis and prediction. Emphasis is placed on basic research to improve the fundamental understanding of atmospheric processes, and applied research on the data, analysis and prediction systems for forecasting environmental parameters critical to Navy and Marine Corps operations in maritime and littoral regions. The talk will give an overview of the Office of Naval Research, the Marine Meteorology program, past/present/future research projects and directions, and potential opportunities for academic partners (including students) to work with Naval Research.
