Atmosphere, Oceans, Climate Dynamics

At Yale, the AOCD group dives into how our atmosphere, oceans, and climate work together. We study everything from weather patterns and ocean currents to ice physics and long-term climate changes.

We explore the understanding of weather and air movements, the oceans’ role in climate, climate variability, and even the impact of ice on climate.

Join us to explore the science behind Earth’s changing climate and weather!
