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.
  • NASA Ocean Surface Topography Science Team: Ocean Surface and Internal Tides
    PI: Richard D. Ray, NASA/GSFC; Co-I's: Gary D. Egbert and Zaron.
    The objective of this project is an improved understanding of surface and internal tides, and their relationship to non-tidal phenomena.
  • Data Assimilation for the NEPTUNE NWP Model
    PI: Liang Xu, NRL-Monterey
