Research Highlights
Research Interests
Investigating variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its impacts on weather and climate.

“The importance of the ocean in climate change depends not only on the amount of heat that the ocean can release to the atmosphere, but also on its heat transport in redistributing energy contained in the ocean. To understand the role of the ocean in climate change, we need to examine the contribution of oceanic circulation to changes in upper-ocean heat content.”
Dr. Shenfu Dong is a physical oceanographer at the Physical Oceanography Division at NOAA’s AOML. She is a Principal Investigator of the State of Climate: Quarterly Reports of the Meridional Heat Transport in the Atlantic Ocean, the eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) Network, and Southwest Atlantic MOC (SAM) programs. These programs provide continuous ocean observations to monitor changes of key surface and subsurface currents and assess meridional heat transport in all ocean basins, and to help initialize and validate climate and weather numerical forecast models. Dr. Dong’s work involves analyzing and interpreting oceanographic and atmospheric data to understand interannual-to-decadal ocean and climate variability, their interaction and impacts on weather and climate, and to evaluate climate models for future model improvements.
