Field Studies of Wintertime Water Mass Modification and Transport in the Sea of Okhotsk

My long-term goal is to understand the 3-dimensional circulation of marginal seas of the N. Pacific Ocean and the air-sea interactions taking place at the surface of these seas. I am particularly interested in wintertime modifications of the ocean by atmosphere and ice formation that lead to the for...

Description
Summary:My long-term goal is to understand the 3-dimensional circulation of marginal seas of the N. Pacific Ocean and the air-sea interactions taking place at the surface of these seas. I am particularly interested in wintertime modifications of the ocean by atmosphere and ice formation that lead to the formation of intermediate and deep water masses, and the temporal changes in these interactions that occur on decade-to-century time scales.
