气象学和物理海洋学理学硕士

气象和物理海洋学（MPO）研究生课程的建立是在海洋和大气动力学受一组相似的物理原理支配的前提下进行的，并且可以从一个共同的角度研究其动力学来获得很多见识。MPO计划要求学生开发两种系统的专业知识，并准备使用互补的一系列理论，观察和建模方法进行前沿研究。MPO课程为广泛主题的研究奠定了坚实的基础，这些主题包括海气相互作用，全球热盐环流，热带气旋，厄尔尼诺现象，马登-朱利安涛动和地球气候的演变。可以在这里或通过浏览各个学院的研究页面找到更全面的研究主题列表。
The Meteorology and Physical Oceanography (MPO) graduate program was founded on the premise that oceanic and atmospheric dynamics are governed by a set of similar physical principles, and that much insight can be gained by studying their dynamics from a common perspective. The MPO program requires students to develop expertise in both systems, and prepares students to conduct leading-edge research using a complementary set of theoretical, observational, and modeling approaches. The MPO curriculum forms a strong foundation for research on a broad spectrum of topics that include air-sea interaction, the global thermohaline circulation, tropical cyclones, El Nino, the Madden-Julian Oscillations, and the evolution of the Earth's climate. A more comprehensive list of research topics can be found here or by browsing the individual faculty research pages.<br><br>The program offers Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees. The expected period of study is 5 years for Ph.D. students and 2 years for M.S. students.
