The Secretary of the Navy/Chief of Naval Operations Chair in Oceanographic Sciences

Abstract

The overall long-term goals of this work are to accelerate ongoing research, to enhance the educational value of my teaching of undergraduate and graduate students, and to facilitate interactions between the academic community and researchers supporting the operating fleet. The general long-term research objective for this work is to advance understanding and predictive capabilities in three areas: 1) upper ocean physical, bio-optical, and biogeochemical responses to intense wind events including hurricanes and typhoons, 2) establishing relationships among optics, thermodynamics, dynamics, turbulence, and waves, and 3) the physical, bio-optical, and biogeochemical dynamics of ocean mesoscale eddies.
