Welcome to our website.
We are a team of physical oceanographers with a research
focus on estuarine/coastal
circulations, upper-ocean
dynamics, turbulent
mixing processes and
biological/physical
interactions. We employ a suite
of numerical models to tackle
oceanic problems. Regional
Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is
used to
develop a three-dimensional circulation
model for the Chesapeake
Bay. Large Eddy Simulation
(LES) model is used to investigate
turbulent mixing processes in
the ocean surface and bottom
boundary layers.
We are actively
engaged in multi-disciplinary research projects.
We investigate how physical
processes affect plankton
productivity
in estuaries. We have examined
how turbulent processes in the
upper ocean affect oil
dispersion in marine waters.
