Dynamics of Ocean Currents and Fronts

Current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounder (CPIES).
Current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounder (CPIES).

Our group’s aim is to understand the physics of large- and meso-scale varying currents and associated fronts in oceanic temperature and salinity fields, including meanders, rings and eddies. Observations include shipboard surveys and moored arrays of instruments especially suited to test dynamical theories in an Eulerian framework.
