The Physical Oceanography Division of AOML carries out interdisciplinary scientific investigations in the field of Ocean and Climate. Specific research goals are: Determine the role of the ocean in long term climate change; Study ocean variability and its influence on short term climate and weather and to provide data analysis and assimilation tools for ocean prediction.
PhOD is a main partner in the development of a sustained Ocean Observing system for Climate to support NOAA mission requirements. As such the overall mission of the Physical Oceanography Division of AOML is to provide quality ocean data and products in a timely and cost-effective manner to satisfy NOAA nowcast, forecast, detection, attribution and research mission requirements.
