Clayson, Carol Senior Scientist, Physical Oceanography

Positions

Senior Scientist, Physical Oceanography, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 2014 -

Her research interests include exchanges of heat, moisture, and momentum between the ocean and the atmosphere. This includes turbulent boundary layers, air-sea interactions, remote sensing of the ocean and the near-surface atmosphere. She is also interested in ocean and atmosphere modeling, water cycle variability, and the role of small-scale variability on climate scales.
