Understanding Ocean Environmental Change and Dynamics through Observations

Using research vessels, drifting floats, and moored systems, and by actively leveraging international frameworks, we conduct precise and efficient observations of physical and biogeochemical variability in the ocean environment, as well as exchanges of momentum, heat, and matter between the ocean and atmosphere. We also advance research through the application of state-of-the-art analytical methods.
Through these efforts, we comprehensively investigate the state of the global ocean—from the surface to the deep layers—and its interactions with the atmosphere. This work enhances our understanding of global environmental dynamics, particularly the role of ocean variability in shaping and driving changes in the Earth system.
