| Air-Sea Interaction & Remote Sensing | AIRS |
Members of the Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing Department use remote sensing techniques (microwave, infrared, and laser electro-optical sensors, sonars and hydrophones) to study the interaction of the atmosphere and ocean, which plays a key role in local weather and global climate.
| Center for Industrial & Medical Ultrasound | CIMU |
The Center is a world-class leader in ultrasound research and development. Our talented, multidisciplinary staff of physicists, mathematicians, engineers, technicians, and students works with a wide variety of researchers and medical professionals around the world to advance the expansion of the field.
| Electronic & Photonic Systems | EPS |
The department develops and builds state-of-the-art solutions for challenging problems faced by the U.S Navy.
| Environmental & Information Systems | EIS |
Our group of physicists, earth scientists, electrical engineers, computer scientists, and interface designers team with scientists from university, DoD laboratories, and industry to create systems and components to solve critical problems for national security.

The Ocean Acoustics Department studies the propagation and scattering of sound in the ocean using theory and numerical modeling backed by ocean experiments.
APL-UW ocean engineers have a half-century reputation for delivering science and technology expertise at sea. We serve as a resource to scientists at APL-UW, the University of Washington, other research and development organizations, and the U.S. Navy.
The Ocean Physics Department pursues research focused primarily on small-scale and meso-scale oceanographic processes, and designs and builds unique instruments to facilitate these studies.
Polar Science Center researchers observe and model the physical processes that control the nature and distribution of sea ice and polar ice sheets, the structure and movement of high-latitude oceans, and the interactions between air,sea, ice, and biota.
