We are excited to announce that the FDT Lab at UT Dallas has received an NSF award under the
Collaborations in Artificial Intelligence and Geosciences (CAIG) program. This project focuses on multi-scale, AI-powered modeling of
small-scale turbulence in coupled air–sea boundary layers. This is a collaborative effort among the
University of Texas at Dallas,
Southern Methodist University, and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a total award of $1,158,070, of which $579,598 is awarded to PI Yousefi.
In this project, we integrate high-resolution laboratory experiments, high-fidelity numerical simulations, and foundational AI techniques to investigate the multi-scale turbulence above and below surface waves and to quantify the two-way coupled momentum and energy fluxes across the air–sea interface. We are looking forward to advancing the fundamental understanding of air–sea interactions and contributing to the development of next-generation physics-informed AI models for air-sea interactions.
