Work to understand the the dynamics of the oceans, their physical properties, and how water moves within them.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Physical oceanographers seek to understand the physical processes that govern the circulation of the ocean and the coupled atmosphere-ocean system. Research at GSO includes satellite remote sensing; computer modeling of atmosphere and ocean processes; laboratory modeling of geophysical fluid dynamics; observational studies in air-sea interaction, mixing processes, or large-scale circulation \u2014 often using unique instruments developed at the University; and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
