The Experimental Oceanography group is part of the Earth System Sciences department at the Universität Hamburg. We aim to advance understanding of ocean dynamics and circulation in a changing climate. We are a seagoing group, specialising in physical oceanographic measurements and using approaches that leverage traditional observations with new platforms and satellite data.

Topics include:

• Large-scale ocean circulation including the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and gyre circulations.
• Small-scale processes, e.g. deep ocean convection, submesoscale mixing, and turbulent dissipation.
• Measurement methods. Using in situ and remote sensing to better observe the ocean.
