The Ocean Circulation Processes subgroup
The Ocean Circulation Processes (OCP) subgroup investigates the role of ocean physics and circulation in climate and, in particular, the connections with the atmosphere, ice-covered regions and the marine biogeochemical system.
The group works over a huge range of spatial scales, from turbulence to basin-wide circulation and fluxes, and on time scales from hourly to multi-decadal. The team makes measurements from ships, autonomous vehicles (floats and gliders), deep ocean moorings, ice-tethered platforms and satellites. Much of the research is conducted with international partners in all corners of the world’s oceans, but with a particular focus on the Atlantic and Southern Ocean and the Arctic.
