Current Research Projects

  • National Science Foundation Physical Oceanography Program: Collaborative Research: Mapping the kinematics and dynamics of tidal ocean currents with surface drifters
    Co-I's: Shane Elipot, University of Miami, & Rick Lumpkin, NOAA
  • NASA SWOT Science Team: Development of Barotropic and Baroclinic Tide Models in Support of the SWOT Mission
    PI: Richard D. Ray, NASA/GSFC; Co-I's: Gary D. Egbert and Zaron.
    The Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is planned for launch in 2020.
