The main theme of the BOAT group is to understand the small-scale physical processes at the atmosphere–ocean interface. With the help of modern high-performance computers, we develop physics-based and data-driven models to gain insights into the lively air–sea processes. Our studies not only focus on the fundamental scientific problems in fluid mechanics, physical oceanography, and boundary layer meteorology, but also have great implications in engineering applications including weather forecasting, renewable energy harvesting, and marine infrastructure protection.
