Here are some samples of recent projects in the Physical Oceanography discipline of the Joint Program:

• A laboratory study of multiple equilibrium and oscillations
• Buoyant coastal currents over slopes
• Coupled boundary layer evolution
• Global ocean circulation and its variability
• Instabilities of time dependent oceanic and atmospheric flows
• Interannual to decadal variability of deep convection in the Labrador Sea
• Low wind air-sea interactions studies
• Modeling of the Atlantic Ocean general circulation
• Sensitivity of marginal sea thermohaline circulation to small-scale mixing
• Tracers, time series, and the ocean circulation and climate of the past
