Physical oceanography, internal waves, air-sea interaction, upper ocean dynamics, Arctic oceanography, ocean instrumentation
Eric D'Asaro is a physical oceanographer with wide interests including internal waves, air-sea interaction, upper ocean dynamics, oceanic internal waves, oceanic turbulence and mixing processes, arctic oceanography, ocean instrumentation, Lagrangian techniques in oceanography and fluid mechanics, hurricanes, and biophysical interactions. He has developed instruments to measure ocean mixing, most recently, "Lagrangian floats," which try to accurately follow the three-dimensional motion of water parcels in regions of strong mixing. This is a novel but effective way to measure turbulence in regions of strong ocean mixing.
