Circulation and mixing of the ocean; the ocean's energy and water
exchange with the atmosphere & cryosphere; the ocean's coastal and benthic
boundaries, are the topics of physical oceanography. Physical
oceanographic research tools range from: observations obtained from ships,
moorings, drifters, aircraft and satellites; to modeling of ocean processes
and general circulation, including ocean atmosphere coupling; to the more
theoretical investigation of ocean dynamics. These approaches are often
integrated to address important oceanographic phenomena across a variety of
spatial and temporal scales.
Lamont field going physical oceanographers use data from a variety
of sources- from in situ field observations and from a variety of
satellites based sensors. We are also the originators of data and have
contributed to many important observational data sets in the Southern
Ocean, Indonesian Seas and South Atlantic, as well as in local coastal
waters, covering a remarkable wide range of research topics. We are very
active in the development of large research programs, such as the study of Climate
Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR). Personnel at Lamont engaged in physical
oceanographic field activities, including those that go to sea and those
that make use of presently active ship based or satellite based
observational programs, are:
