Polar Gliders
Short description
We want to understand the key ocean processes that regulate global climate and how this may adjust in a warming world.
Our major research focus is on the dynamics of the upper ocean, as it acts as the interface between heat and carbon exchanges between the atmosphere and the deep ocean.
We are aiming to achieve valuable new observations in the Southern Ocean, in particular the sea-ice covered domains, and combine these with modelling efforts to provide a holistic view of the physical polar ocean environment.
