Research Areas   Instruments & Sensors  
  • Mixing—sets the temperature and salinity structure of the ocean and the distribution of chemical species
  • Circulation—from small estuaries to entire ocean basins, circulation is critical in a variety of processes
  • Biogeochemistry—mixing and circulation help regulate ocean productivity and ecosystems
  • Instruments—technology plays a critical role in oceanographic research
