Department of Ocean Circulation Observing and Numerical Modeling, established in 2014 and supported by the National Key R&D Program, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Pioneer A/B Special Projects, the National Natural Science Foundation, and the CAS Knowledge Innovation Engineering Frontier Fields, focuses on research in the following areas:

Research Directions:

1.Deep/Abyssal Circulation Observation: This area of research is dedicated to understanding the dynamics of deep and abyssal ocean currents.

2.Numerical Simulation of the Marine Environment: Here, the department works on developing and refining models to simulate various aspects of the marine environment.

3.Mesoscale Processes in the Ocean: This research direction investigates the intermediate-scale processes that occur within the ocean, which are crucial for understanding larger oceanic phenomena.
