Abstract
The Oceanography Department has developed a broad research program focused on physical
oceanography to meet the anticipated future needs of the Navy. Our priority basic research
themes are the development of scientific capabilities to measure, analyze and forecast fields of
littoral ocean variables which occur in association with synoptic/mesoscale processes over
limited regional and temporal domains. The areas of emphasis include coastal and nearshore
ocean dynamics, air-sea interaction phenomena and boundary currents. Regions of interest
include the marginal sea ice zone, coastal ocean regions and strategic straits of the world.
