2015 Northern Gulf of Mexico Ecosystems and Hypoxia Assessment Program (NGOMEX); Glider Application to Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone Monitoring: Pilot Study and Transition to Operations
The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CSCOR is soliciting research applications under the Northern Gulf of Mexico Ecosystems and Hypoxia Assessment Program (NGOMEX) for projects expected to last 2 years in duration.
Research applications will propose pilot studies to test application of gliders to measure dissolved oxygen in the large hypoxic zone (dead zone) along the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf and, within 2 years, complete a comprehensive plan to transition to operations the deployment of gliders for hypoxic zone monitoring east and west of the Mississippi delta, to complement shipboard and fixed (mooring/platform) observing system monitoring.
Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2015 Federal appropriations.
It is anticipated that projects funded under this announcement will have a September 1, 2015 start date.
Total funding for this research:
approximately $125,000 per year for awards expected to last 2 years.
One to two proposals are expected to be funded at the level of approximately $50,000 - $125,000 per year per proposal.Electronic Access:
