Areas of Specialization
Research
Peter Cornillon's current research interests include mesoscale dynamics of the upper ocean. Using satellite-derived SST, wind vector and SSH fields in conjunction with in situ data and numerical model results, he is investigating Gulf Stream dynamics, Rossby wave forcing and propagation, and the characterization of SST fronts on regional (Western North Atlantic) and global scales.
