DyOG@XMU: Pursue Excellence; Strive for Perfection
The Dynamical Oceanography Group (DyOG) of the Xiamen University (XMU), led by Prof. Zhiyu Liu, seeks to advance dynamical interpretation and prediction of multi-scale oceanic processes and phenomena as revealed by observations and numerical simulations. The researches conducted by DyOG are mostly process-oriented and grounded in fundamental geophysical fluid dynamics. Ocean dynamics at scales around and below the deformation radius (i.e., the oceanic small to meso-scales) is a particular focus of DyOG. Topics with ongoing research efforts include (but not limited to) ocean turbulence & mixing, geophysical instabilities, ocean scale interactions & energy transfers, internal gravity waves, upper ocean dynamics, wave-turbulence/vortex decomposition/interactions, water mass transformation & overturning circulation.
