Center for Atmosphere-Ocean Science
The Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science is a unit of the Department of Mathematics, within the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. A cornerstone of the Center is our PhD in Atmosphere Ocean Science and Mathematics, a companion to the department’s PhD in Mathematics.

Modeling the mélange
July 2, 2018
Icebergs are formed by calving, a natural process during which the ends of marine terminating glaciers break off and fall into the ocean. In Greenland, glaciers often terminate in narrow fjords with complex geometries, in which large iceberg becomes stuck for many months, freeze together, and form a sea-ice/iceberg ... Read More

Unlocking the Kolmogorov code of turbulence
July 2, 2018
Atmosphere and ocean flows present us with a complicated jigsaw puzzle of energetic motions on many scales, ranging from slow planetary waves on scales of 10,000 kilometers or so all the way down to small-scale three-dimensional turbulence, where dissipation of kinetic energy might take place on a scale of ...
