Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions

The ocean-atmosphere system encompasses key processes within the climate system. Exchanges of energy, momentum, particles, and gases such as water vapor, carbon, and oxygen make the interface between these two mediums critically important. Our research focuses on the ocean-atmosphere system, with an emphasis on the interplay between marine biology, the sea surface microlayer, aerosol formation, energy and gas exchange, and cloud processes. We employ a comprehensive approach that integrates remote sensing, laboratory work, and field experiments, primarily conducted in the open ocean.
