Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Andrew Thompson. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Professor Thompson's research utilizes a combination of sea-going observations and idealized numerical models to focus on ocean circulation and the physical processes that transport heat, chemicals, and biology within the ocean. His work specifically explores the dynamics of ocean turbulence and the role of eddies in ocean mixing, particularly in relation to the Southern Ocean circulation. He aims to understand the processes that govern the ocean's contribution to the responses related to changes in Earth's climate.
