“As we study the ocean, we use theory, observations, and numerical models to describe ocean dynamics. None is sufficient by itself.”
Xiaoyue Hu is interested in the upper ocean variations and dynamics in exchanges between basins. Dr. Hu mainly uses observations from cruises and model simulations to do her research. Her series of studies of the interbasin exchanges includes: 1) the associated oceanic wave dynamics and long-term trends of the IOD-ENSO teleconnection under global warming; 2) the interannual sea level variability forced by waves from both the Pacific and Indian Oceans in the Sulawesi Sea; 3) the impact of ENSO on the sea level and current variabilities at the entrance of ITF in the Indonesian seas.
Xiaoyue Hu joined the XBT (eXpendable BathyThermograph) science team at AOML to expand her research to include the Atlantic Ocean, and to have a better understanding of the global oceans. She loves going out to sea and has gained sea-going experience during her work in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indonesian Seas.
