The lab uncovers the dynamical mechanisms that sustain the ocean's large-scale circulation.
AboutAbout the lab
The dynamics behind the ocean's large-scale circulation
Assistant Professor Genta Mizuta studies the dynamical mechanisms that sustain the large-scale circulation of the ocean.
Using simplified numerical models and similar tools, Mizuta has theoretically investigated how idealized seafloor topography affects the deep circulation.
Recently, Mizuta has also become interested in studying ocean circulation using observational data.
Graduate education is provided jointly by the faculty members of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics and Climate Dynamics course.
Key terms
- Ocean Circulation
- The large-scale flows by which seawater travels around the world's oceans, carrying heat and materials over long distances
- Numerical Model
- A system that expresses the motion of the ocean or atmosphere in equations and reproduces it by solving them on a computer
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the dynamical mechanisms that maintain the large-scale circulation of the oceans. Using simplified numerical models and similar tools, it approaches ocean currents from a theoretical perspective.
