Physical Oceanography and Climate Dynamics

Principal Investigator

Prof. Hezi Gildor

.

 

In our lab, we study physical processes in the ocean, with a focus on understanding both past and present climate changes and the interaction between the sea and the atmosphere. We conduct ocean measurements, including currents, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and more, using a wide range of instruments such as underwater gliders, current meters, drifting buoys, and surface current radars. Additionally, we run numerical models with varying levels of complexitys.
