Research Focus
- Describing the spatio-temporal structure of upper-ocean currents and their response to winds and transient features
- Determining the South Atlantic ocean's role in global meridional overturning circulation and global heat budget
- Investigating near-intertial energy pathways using high-resolution surface drifters
- Using numerical models and sampling experiments to suggest locations for sustained ocean observations
