Our Mission

The mission of the Oceanography Section (OS) is to understand the large-scale ocean circulation and the dynamics of climate through studies of the important processes in the ocean and sea-ice, in air-sea-ice interactions, and in coupled systems. Areas of focus include: Global Ocean and Sea-Ice Modeling, High Resolution Ocean Simulations, Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling, Air-sea-ice Interactions, and Forcing of the Ocean Circulation.
