ESR SCIENTISTS CALCULATE GLOBAL OCEAN SURFACE MIXED LAYER VELOCITIES FROM SATELLITE-SENSED SEA SURFACE HEIGHT GRADIENTS, WINDS, AND SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE FIELDS USING OCEAN DYNAMICAL EQUATIONS. OUR RESEARCH PROVIDES THESE DATASETS TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY, AND WE ARE CONTINUALLY IMPROVING MODELS OF HOW WIND ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED FROM THE ATMOSPHERE TO THE OCEAN THROUGH THE PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER.SALINITY AND DENSITY SCIENCE CONTINUITY RESEARCH FROM AQUARIUS TO SMAP:ESR SCIENTISTS ARE EXTENDING AND IMPROVING THE RECORD OF NEAR-GLOBAL SEA SURFACE SALINITY MAPPED USING SATELLITE DATA FROM NASA'S AQUARIUS MISSION TO NASA'S SOIL MOISTURE ACTIVE PASSIVE (SMAP) MISSION, AND PROVIDE THESE DATASETS TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY, THUS SUPPORTING NASA'S PROGRAM TO CONTINUE OCEAN SALINITY SCIENCE. DATA VALIDATION CONTINUITY SUPPORT TO NASA OCEAN SALINITY SCIENCE:THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO ASSURE THE CONTINUITY OF NASA-SUPPORTED SALINITY VALIDATION AND THE CONSISTENCY OF THE SEA SURFACE SALINITY DATA PRODUCTS. THE FOCUS OF ESR'S WORK IS TO MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE THE IN-SITU VALIDATION DATA SYSTEM DEVELOPED AND USED FOR AQUARIUS, AND CONTINUITY WITH SMAP DATA VALIDATION.QUANTIFYING SOUTHERN OCEAN EDDY INTERACTIONS WITH SEA ICE USING SATELLITE DATA AND MODELS:THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES HOW OCEAN EDDIES AFFECT THE GROWTH OR LOSS OF ANTARCTIC SEA ICE. ESR SCIENTISTS COMBINE MULTIPLE SOURCES OF SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS AND INTERPRET THE DATA THROUGH HIGH-RESOLUTION OCEAN MODELS. OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT HOW SEA ICE AND OCEAN EDDIES INTERACT IN GLOBAL CLIMATE MODELS THAT EXPLICITLY MODEL EDDY/ICE INTERACTIONS.ICESAT-2 SCIENCE TEAM: ANTARCTIC ICE SHELVES, COASTAL OCEAN, SEA ICE AND ICEBERGS: ESR SCIENTISTS USE MEASUREMENTS OF SURFACE HEIGHT FROM NASA'S ICESAT-2 LASER ALTIMETER SATELLITE TO INVESTIGATE CHANGES IN THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET AND SEA ICE. BY COMBINING ICESAT-2 MEASUREMENTS WITH DATA FROM OTHER SATELLITES, WE CAN CREATE LONG TIME SERIES OF MASS LOSS, AND INVESTIGATE THE SMALL-SCALE PROCESSES THAT CAUSE THESE LOSSES. GENERAL CRYOSPHERE STUDIES:ESR SCIENTISTS WORK WITH COLLEAGUES AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY (NY) ON THE SMALL-SCALE PROCESSES THAT CAUSE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR OF ICE SHELVES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A GLACIER ACCELERATES BECAUSE MORE SUMMER MELTWATER REACHES THE GLACIER BED TO MAKE IT MORE SLIPPERY, IT CAUSES STRAIN IN THE ICE OF THE ICE SHELF THAT CAN CREATE WEAKNESSES THAT CAN ACCELERATE ICE SHELF LOSS. 96974 NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION SNOW SCIENCE FIELD CAMPAIGN DESIGN AND SNOW MELT MODELING:THROUGH A SUBAWARD FROM WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY (WSU), AS PART OF THE ICECAPS (ICECAPSMELT.ORG) EXPERIMENT, ESR SCIENTISTS DESIGNED A SNOW PROPERTIES EXPERIMENT AND ANALYZED THE RESULTING DATA FOR A FIELD CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF A NOVEL AUTONOMOUS, MEDIUM-POWER CLOUD AND SNOW OBSERVATORY DEPLOYED AT CAMP RAVEN, GREENLAND. ESR SCIENTISTS ARE ALSO USING THE IN-SITU DATA FROM CAMP RAVEN AND SUMMIT STATION, GREENLAND AS BOUNDARY CONDITIONS IN SIMULATIONS OF THE SURFACE ENERGY AND MASS BUDGET OF THE GREENLAND INTERIOR. THIS WORK WILL REFINE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE COUPLED ATMOSPHERE/SNOW PROCESSES THAT ARE LEADING TO INCREASING FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY OF MELT IN THE GREENLAND INTERIOR. 68995 REFLECTIVE EARTHDEVELOPING TECHNIQUES TO EFFICIENTLY MONITOR SOLAR RADIATION MANAGEMENT INTERVENTIONS: ESR SCIENTISTS ARE CONTRACTED TO DEVELOP TECHNIQUES TO EFFICIENTLY MONITOR SOLAR RADIATION MANAGEMENT INTERVENTIONS USING A COMBINATION OF GEOSPATIAL DATA SETS (E.G., SENTINEL-2 REFLECTANCE DATA AND ERA5 INSOLATION) AND SURFACE ENERGY BUDGET MODELS). THIS WORK IS INTENDED TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE ENTITIES TO ENGAGE IN SAFE, RELIABLE, AND LONG-LASTING SOLAR RADIATION MANAGEMENT INTERVENTIONS LIKE REFLECTIVE PAVEMENT PAINT AND REFLECTIVE RESERVOIR COVERS THAT MITIGATE THE IMPACTS RISING MEAN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES AND REGIONAL TEMPERATURE EXTREMES.LAKESIDE SCHOOL:THE LAKESIDE SUMMER RESEARCH INSTITUTE: A MENTORED, SUMMER GEOSCIENCE/DATA SCIENCE EXPERIENCE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ESR SCIENTISTS AND EDUCATORS PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL, INDEPENDENT SCHOOL (LAKESIDE SCHOOL) TO OFFER A 4-WEEK, MENTORED, IN-PERSON GEOSCIENCE/DATA SCIENCE EXPERIENCE. ESR PERSONNEL CURATED PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL DATA SETS AND GUIDED STUDENTS THROUGH QUANTITATIVE EXPLORATION OF THE DATA. STUDENTS ASKED AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS OF THE DATA SETS, PRESENTED THEIR WORK AT A LOCAL UNIVERSITY, AND PUBLISHED THEIR CODE IN ESTABLISHED OPEN SCIENCE FORUMS. THIS WORK IS INTENDED TO INCLUSIVELY AND AUTHENTICALLY EXPOSE STUDENTS TO THE INTERSECTION OF THE FIELDS OF GEOSCIENCE AND DATA SCIENCE, PROVIDING A MUCH-NEEDED PATHWAY INTO GEOSCIENCE. 1154541 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X JULIAN SCHANZE 2067260501 1107 NE 45TH ST 320 SEATTLE WA 98105 OLEG MELNICHENKO SENIOR SCIENTIST 40.00 X 143830 0 42179 SUSAN HOWARD SECRETARY AND STAFF SCIENTIST 40.00 X 122412 0 27883 JULIAN SCHANZE VP, SENIOR SCIENTIST AND DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 119676 0 21462 DR LAURENCE PADMAN PRESIDENT, SENIOR SCIENTIST AND DIRECTOR 26.00 X X 109998 0 12680 SCOTT SPRINGER SECRETARY AND RESEARCH SCIENTIST 20.00 X 49555 0 13564 GARY LAGERLOFF TREASURER AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GAEL TARLETON TREASURER AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID THURMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTINA KATSOROS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 545471 0 117768 4 0 1 0 0 1446940 1446940 4897 4897 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 1528 1528 1528 1453365 0 0 6425 444020 312164 131856 499562 417620 81942 49956 39991 9965 67826 54308 13518 71195 57006 14189 80770 62836 17934 26000 20227 5773 58195 56070 2125 51510 40073 11437 49461 38479 10982 37237 28969 8268 2262 1395 867 428 333 95 18106 14086 4020 COMMUNICATIONS AND OTHE 8606 6698 1908 TAXES 3769 2932 837 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 1377 1071 306 POSTAGE & SHIPPING 364 283 81 1470644 1154541 316103 0 207227 218401 172059 246956 172606 156048 26860 13535 183444 177448 0 5996 59662 102114 638414 743050 157470 157753 71073 152569 60832 100968 289375 411290 X 349039 331760 349039 331760 638414 743050 -17279 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2186545 1380255 1487541 1272533 1446940 7773814 2186545 1380255 1487541 1272533 1446940 7773814 7773814 197 31 22 285 4897 5432 236 158 3143 1528 5065 7784311 2608 0.99870 0.99940 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME REFUNDS RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 183444 177448 5996 5996 DEPOSITS 3330 RIGHT OF USE ASSET - LEASE 98784 102114 RIGHT OF USE LIABILITY - LEASE 100968 100968 1453365 0 1453365 0 1453365 1470644 0 1470644 0 1470644 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OLEG MELNICHENKO SENIOR SCIENTIST 143830 0 0 0 0 0 14383 0 27796 0 186009 0 0 0 SUSAN HOWARD SECRETARY AND STAFF SCIENTIST 122412 0 0 0 0 0 12241 0 15642 0 150295 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1A ESR HAS HISTORICALLY NOT TREATED THE SECRETARY AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD, WHICH MAKES THIS POSITION NON-VOTING.
