Yankovsky, Alexander
Professor
My primary research interest is the dynamics on continental shelves and in marginal seas. This includes wind- and buoyancy-driven currents, transient and time-variable processes, waves, wave-current interaction, mesoscale variability, adjustment of shelf currents to the topographic and coastline features. My research comprises a numerical modeling and the analysis of observational data, both in situ and remotely-sensed
