Upper Ocean Dynamics Laboratory
The Upper Ocean Dynamics Laboratory, housed in the Division of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, conducts a spectrum of experimental and numerical studies of coastal circulation processes and ocean-atmosphere interactions during hurricane passage. One important focus is to understand the role of the upper ocean on sudden hurricane intensification changes using a combination of satellite, aircraft and in situ measurement and analysis techniques such as oceanic heat content. The laboratory provides a forum for scientists, students and local communities with critical resources relevant for the continued state-of-the-art study of tropical storms. With three decades of solid research experience, scientists and students exchange ideas with common interests in this highly relevant societal theme.
