Research Interests
Ocean modeling and theory from the global scale to universal models: turbulence, nonlinear systems, parameterizations, toy models.
Current Research Projects [ projects pages ]
Fox-Kemper ‘s research involves global diagnosis of mesoscale eddy stirring --Ocean mixed layer and its submesoscale eddies and Langmuir turbulence --Wind-driven ocean and its mesoscale eddies --Long-timescale climate variability (e.g., centennial variation of El Niño)
